Bass is super punchy without bass boost doesn’t hit the lows at all.
Ответитьyou need to reduce the gain in order to use BB..
Ответитьcould not be any more true
ОтветитьBass boost and bass eq cause distortion and sound that’s not supposed to be there so I don’t care what anyone says or thinks it’s bad good luck with that
ОтветитьI think you misunderstood how it works and when to use it.. As you increase Bass Boost this increases power at the lower levels BUT the amp has a max power that can't be exceeded so you get clipping.. When you use Bass Boost you need to reduce the gain to stop the clipping. The result is lower lows but less total volume. When BB is applied it applies it on most amps at about 45hz and it linear reduces as the frequency goes up. So it works best on speakers that have a linear drop off.. so is best with door speakers and sealed enclosures. And obviously if you can get to 45hz (large sub) without BB then it's not needed. BB is therefore best deployed to small speakers. I use it in 6.5 inch door speakers.. Would i use it on a 12" ported enclosure.. NO
ОтветитьHey man maybe you help after installing a after market headunit (kenwood) with after market rear and front speakers , no subs no amps, my soeakers sound terrible worst than before, coukdnt even turn up without distortion, so i got a 4 channel amp to power those speakers and my front speakers are so quiet compared to the rear, its bad enoughy i have to turn the head unit volume damm near to 30 just to get some loadness cant harley hear anything at 15, but why is my front speakers so low
ОтветитьSo I get it, but I’d be grateful if you humored my extrapolation of different factors:
So subs are usually set to 40hz, and low pass at 70-80hz, but what if you low pass to 100hz, have 60hz set to nominal voltage, then use bass boost to lift the lower frequency voltage drop to nominal output at 35hz with a high pass at 25hz or so… does that make sense? Am I not understanding bass boost? Does it just boost the whole frequency range or is it something more specific?
Cheers!
As soon as I seen the title I had to watch just to hear you say don't! 😂🤣😂
ОтветитьI have my bass boost up two notches and I don't know how to set my gain and I don't have a smd or volt meter so I have no clue how to know if it's clipping. I Hate it I want the most bass my sub can get
Ответитьthis guy is literal clown
ОтветитьMy question is why do ALL amp manufacturers have bass boost on their amps if you're not supposed to use it?
ОтветитьIf the bass is to be off on the amp should I set bass boost on the radio unit? Is more gain gonna give me more bass?
ОтветитьWhat if I have Bass Boost on head unit also can I use bass boost on that
ОтветитьBass boost is there for a reason y'all don't let these ppl control u. Turn it up a little bit it never hurts unless u max it out then ur asking for trouble, especially if u got custom ported boxes. I've used bass boost all my life and I learned that u can use a little of it and that's it. Strong subs can take it
ОтветитьI have bass boost up a small amount just to notice a difference due to having a stock head unit…. Is that okay? no smell no clipping
ОтветитьSo my new sub and amp have plenty of bass on a song that has bass heavy music, but what is the preferred method to increase bass on low bass music? Or is it just always going to be low bass?
ОтветитьSir, theres a 2/4 Ch Switch on Rockford Amp, what it use for....
ОтветитьI turned mine all the way down. Was not satisfied. I like my clean bass but that doesn’t do it for me. I can’t add “more bass” I just don’t have room for it. :(
ОтветитьWhats point of bass boost if you aren't suppose to use it 🤷♂️
ОтветитьHow mach
ОтветитьWhat i don't understand is why do amp manufacturers have that option if it's not meant to be used?
ОтветитьGood advice
Ответитьhahhahahaha TRUE
ОтветитьTeam "all the way to the left" it is
ОтветитьStanding applause 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
ОтветитьI saw the title and i was Oh? And then yiu hit the nail on the head.
Perfect explanation
Best video on the channel 👏
ОтветитьWhat if you don’t have a gain on your amp but have a bass boost Still turn it all the way down ? Lol
ОтветитьI have 2 15s running with a 1000rms amp. I setup the gain property by using a multimeter, I put the bass boost on 0. But it was not loud enough. I just don't get it. I do was using a sealed enclosure
ОтветитьI have a Rockford rf 2.9 x amp for my 4 6x9’s in the rear deck and doors. I have a bass knob but when I turn the subwoofer off, the 6x9’s don’t put out any bass and basically just sound like tweeters. Could it be the gain settings or the bass eq ? I even played with the equalizer settings and still no deep bass coming from the speakers .
ОтветитьSo on the alpine what should the gain be if it pushes out 600 watts?
Ответитьsooo... if im understanding this correctly, i should set the bass boost all the way down... off... well dangit man, why didnt u just say so? (read in sarcastic font haha) thanx dude, god bless
ОтветитьShort, sweet, and to the point! Kudos!
ОтветитьI had bass boost on thinking it sounded better but then realized why folks say turn it off.
Bass boost cause my system to be a one hit wonder. Meaning, I’d be slapping hard around 35-40Hz and nothing below or above that.
Shut bass boost off and reset gains and now my system slaps across a larger frequency and now it sounds very musically. Play good from 28hz all the way up into 50hz range now.
Only a few songs sounded good with boost….now it’s off, all types of music sounded good.
I’ll never use bass boost again.
Why do they have that option if you can’t use it??
ОтветитьHahahahaha………
ОтветитьNope - if you set your bass boost properly then you're not going to creating clipping or destroy your subwoofer.
It's all about the interplay between gain and bass boost - all bass boost is, is a limited bandwidth gain that should be used to counteract the roll off in low frequency response of some stock units. If you DON'T have a roll off between 100Hz and 0Hz then by all means set your bass boost to '0' but if you do then how are you going to deal with the non-flat low frequency bass response? You need to boost the 30-50hz range whilst NOT boosting 60hz - 100hz so that you don't clip - the only way to do this is to selectively boost the lower frequencies.. Bass boost...
Don't touch the bass boost!!! It should always be off.....
ОтветитьWhat about the crossover bass boost turn that down too mine is a little up like 4-6decibel
ОтветитьAny one know if there are bass knobs for an alpine mrp-m1000
ОтветитьTbh I'm not even sure why they even ADD bass boost, I have NEVER used it. I remember 1 time my friend kept blowing his subs and he just thought it was his amp, I took a look at it, HE HAD EVERYTHING MAXXXED OUT!! 😂 needless to say after I helped him, he didn't blow anymore subs
ОтветитьWhy is this even a feature on amplifiers anyway?
ОтветитьI have a similar amp mrv-500 and did just as you said. I noticed you left the LP filter maxed... should I do the same? I also have an alpine ilx650. I read on another comment below that I should max the subwoofer output. Are you referring to the subwoofer level on the head unit? And if so... set that to max and then set the gain? Thanks in advance.
ОтветитьSo im supposed to have no bass and ridiculously high middle and highs
ОтветитьI turn my gain all the way down then use my bass boost is that good?
ОтветитьHey mate, Have a MlPower 4 Amp intend to use the high level inputs, is there any benefit to putting the signal from front and rear speakers into it? or is it only if i want to be able to retain the front/rear transition in the head unit?
ОтветитьI keep hearing this over and over, yet for 15 years I have successfully used bass boost to get my bass just like I want it time and time again without clipping or audible distortion. I limit it to around 1/4 turn from zero or 3db boost or less (usually around 45hz). Not saying you are wrong, just saying sometimes we have limited space and EQ options and we have to take advantage of every little trick that gets us the kick we are looking for.
