Because a lot of guys tune their amp wrong when actually the radio head unit has the worst clipping points. 🤣🤷♂️ if you tune every thing and never turn your head unit volume level to high to the clipping points you should have no problem turning everything else up and just get a bass knob for your amp and there's your gain for your amp and speaker right up front with you. 👍 my radio clips and max out at levels 34 and up on the volume so I set my amps and everything at my head unit volume at 25-32 max, and any song and any type of music plays clear and clean on my system. 👍 remember your system is only gonna sound as good as your volume control and levels on your head unit, if your head unit clips everything wired to it is gonna clip. 🤷♂️👍

The main use for bass boost is for head units and LOC's that don't provide enough pre-out (RCA) voltage. For example: Your head unit full tilt only puts out .4V at 40hz, but your amp only accepts .5V or higher, you can use the bass boost on the amp or head unit to amplify that .4V to get your desired gain on the amp. I've used it many times setting up systems with trash headunits because people don't want to replace them. My buddies JVC head unit would do .4V, with the gain maxed you would only get 15V on the speaker outputs on his Skar RP2k, when we set it to 6db bass boost, it was able to get to the desired 44.7V easily at around 3/4 gain with a clean wave, if the amp is made by a reputable company, they do a good job of keeping the wave relatively clean in that situation. But I HIGHLY recommend having an o-scope, because the signal can easily clip.

No matter what I did to the head unit I could never replicate the performance from my first system. Now its +6db and sounds as good as I remember. This amp has no business living this long, but it just eats up the power.

Hmm… people won’t use bass boost but they’ll happily tell you that you need a parametric equalizer to flatten your frequency response. Guess what - they’re the same! All bass boost is doing is amplifying a range of frequencies. Provided that your gain is set appropriately to ensure there’s no clipping Play a 200hz sine wave and set your gain to avoid clipping. Use an oscilloscope. Now play a 50hz test sine wave. Does it have a lower peak-peak amplitude? Sure it does because your stock amp is probably rolling off low frequencies to protect the crappy stock speakers. Now how to boost the 50hz amplitude without clipping on the 200hz signal? You need to boost just the lower frequencies using bass boost. Add bass boost until your 40hz signal is the same amplitude as the 200hz signal and not clipping. Now double check that your 200hz signal is still clean. If it isn’t you can turn down the gain just a little - it shouldn’t need much. Congratulations - you have used bass boost to compensate for low frequency toll off of your head unit. Your bass should sound more accurate because your frequency response is flatter - which is what everyone is trying to achieve with dsp parametric equalizers.

It seems to me that it is all about knowing your system's capabilities and making sure that you balance the three different kinds of volumes (the bass boost, gain, and the regular volume).

I think the use of boost is almost enclosure-dependent. So my understanding is that bass boost on my JL JX1000/1D only increases gain on a curve around 45 hz. So I'd treat this like an EQ where I turn down gain as I turn up bass boost. I have a 10" Dayton sub in a small ported box of around .87cf. In this situation the boost is almost necessary to EQ out the lower bass that is lost with the smaller enclosure. If you have a giant box like yours, boost is superfluous.

It's sad to hear folks critic a functional and purposeful knob simply because they don't know when to use it. Firstly, amps are built to deliver and speakers are built to handle. All of us here can agree that mids and coaxial will clip when bass is introduced that's why we mostly cross them higher with no bass at most; right, the same is true with subwoofers, a 1000rms rated sub for e.g may clip as opposed to a 2500rms rated subwoofer when bass boost is set to a desired level. Essentially bass boost works on subwoofers that can handle it, in my experience a genuine 2000rms or higher. Suddenly a good subwoofer will sound like it's got a company of another producing a tonne of smooth bass output

Who in the actual fizuck has 2500 watt RMS subs? Aint nobody pushing that many ROOT MEAN SQUARE watts through a speaker in their vehicle. I have a couple of JBL 1000w MAX (like 300 rms?) Subs that will make you do a double take to make sure donkey kong didn't just punch you in the chest. I'm not saying it's impossible. Just improbable and impractical. Unless you drive around wearing a pressure resistant suit for disarming bombs and shit. 2500 watts at 12v is over 200 amps. So you're either melting cables or you've got wire bigger than the 4/0 used on a 200A residential main electrical service entrance. And given that you do, what about the batteries/alternator? And that's just power issues. All of which will be irrelevant when the entire vehicle vibrates completely apart halfway through song "put on" by Young Jeezy Damn Jeezy....I need an inflatable car to listen to your shit at an appropriately absurd level of obnoxious. 2500 u say?

A an audio engineer, we use thousands of dollars in equipment and acoustic treatments to deliver the most accurate representation of what the sound is in the studio as we can. This includes ACCURATE and flat low frequency response, usually to below 30hz depending on the music. You should try to equalize that 40hz peak down to as close to flat as you can recognizing that the car structure is causing it to peak artificially. This is why so many cars, when you listen outside have that "one note" bass thump, thump. That's not accurate reproduction or being true to the artists desires. You will never hear this in a studio control room or in a properly set up live concert system. Your HI Fi has just become Lo Fi-delity.

Can i chime in as a music producer. We typically cut in the bass area. Like in all actuality before mastering we cut the bass to about -9db. To allow for headroom. Because the most energy is in the bass spectrum. So really you can set your bass to negative whatever. Then adjust your bass boost. You're leaving out most hu just have bass mid highs. That's alot of bass spectrum to control with just bass level. To tell you something about eq... there is actually sub bass, bass, low mids mid high and highs. Your SUB frequencies are roughly 30-80. Sub frequencies are felt n more then heard.

U rock ur volume at 20, if I bass boost, and turn my loud on and adjust everything up, mids and highs, but I keep my bass at 2 and sw at 2 on my deck its loud and clear on 10. Its hits harder bass at lower volumes. The louder I turn up the clearer the words but bass isn't as tough. If I keep everything Flat I have 2 turn up 2 30 and still don't get the clarity and bass I get at lower volumes. So I assume it personal preference and or what your running. I have a boss double din, and an Audio pipe 15 in a side port box, I had a 1000 watt boss riot amp I blew up. My back up I had was an eclipse 200 or 400 watt amp. 1st day i blew the 20 amp fuse, put in a 30 amp fuse and this bangs hard. I bought an Audio Pipe 1500 watt amp but haven't got it put in yet. So I think this will be scary loud. And now bring up bass knobs, I do not use right now. But new amp has 1. Isn't that gain, or bass boost? All big systems I see on here have that huge bass knob. Hey into that concept. Amazing videos.

Bass boost is actually very useful for what it is intended for. It increases gain at very specific and limited frequencies. If you are willing to give up some amplitude on all other bass frequencies in order to increase amplitude for the specific bass boost frequency then by all means use it. It will give you increased bass for that limited frequency range. However, most people wouldn’t want the very peaky bass response that bass boost gives you. Therefore, they would turn this setting off. If you are going to utilize bass boost then you absolutely MUST set your gains with the bass boost turned on.

id be very interested to know how you determined by this test that bass boost makes the soundwave dirty as you called it. You dont have an oscilloscope so you dont have any way to know for sure what the waveform is that the speakers and subwoofer is getting. Clipping and dirty waveform are not the same thing. Clipping is caused by your amplifier running out of headroom and the amp cant output enough power to create the whole sine wave so it clips. Clipping is easier with bass boost on because you need more power because the bass is louder but it is not the cause of bass boost on a properly installed sized and adjusted system.

Its recommended to leave it at 0 so people dont blow their systems. If tuned right, bass boost can fix many systems safely thats lacking bass. Why does your system lack bass? Because your head unit did not have a subwoofer rca output, this is the case with most line out converters. The bass boost can be tuned with a oscilloscope to ovoid going in clipping, if you dont use bass boost for some head units and line out converters, you will never have effecient bass. Eg. I ended up pulling less power to make more bass by using bass boost. In otherwords, my headlights stoppped clipping

using bass boost on the amplifier and cranking the lows in the head units EQ is awesome and I recommend cranking it up on both as the starting point....BUT....you need to do it correctly, you need to tune your system with all of that on, basically what I am trying to say is when you're tuning it and checking for clipping and getting it locked in make sure you got everything you might use cranked on, what is cool about this is if you want to use your system in the early morning and don't want a ton of bass or during quiet times all you need to do is turn down bass boost on the amp or set the head unit EQ to flat, if you wanna play it loud for bass boomin or show someone what it is capable of simply just turn it all back up to it's "original" tune/full bass boost. The reason it gets shit on so hard is because people tune their systems with it all set to off or "flat" and then randomly one day they try turning up bass boost or raising the lows in the head unit EQ without tuning it to that and it starts clipping and getting all messed up.

It’s a gimmick for teens and newbies . The company’s don’t care if you ruin your speakers/subwoofers they just want to sell product. But it’s your money do what you want with it. Use bass boost even though 95% of audio professionals don’t even know why amp makers put it on there amps.

@@workingclassperson2124 there is a need and use for bass boost. For eq purposes. Often people tune their boxes way too low and the 45hz region needs a lift. The bass boost dials on mostly all amps is a 45hz frequency with 6 to 12db of gain. Using this for eq purposes is common and many people do it to bring more balance to their bandwidth. Of course, it must be used usually 5db or less or else it can induce clipping quick.

Source level isn't a "bass boost" per say. It's just a level to balance difference source outputs. Example - cd may play 5 "clicks" louder than Bluetooth. That level adjuster makes it so the output on each source is the same - to prevent damage when swapping sources

As many have already explained, bass boost is increasing the gain for a band of signal (say from 50 - 150 hz) as Greenhorn mentioned its usually to compensate for poor response of our ear to low frequency sound. However bass boost has an effect on how high you can push your source (stereo) volume before it clips

Hi Jacob I love your videos, I do have a question if you can answer it for me, I had my system installed this past weekend and I wanted the guy to wire my 2ohm dual subs down to 1 ohm, I watched him wire them and I think he wired them wrong, he put 1 wire to the positive on 1 side of subs input and the other end he put it to the negative connector on the other side of sub, and plugged the remaining wire that connect from box to amp to the remaining positive and negative terminals on sub, I believe he wired them in series, aren't you supposed to run a wire to positive to positive and a wire to negative negative to negative and then the wire from the box to sub, POSITIVE and negative? Thanks

My pioneer amp come with a bass knob remote but... It's not a level control, it's a bass boost, it sounds terrible. My pioneer head unit default settings has 'subwoofer control' to +6db 'loudness' on mid and a setting call 'S,RTRV' on which boost all freq. So when I put my amp in and set gain with bass boost knob remote all the way on and and also with EQ on power and bass boost in headunit on 4, and also boosted like 4 other ways in the headunit, when I was at 10 out of 62 volume I had almost max bass hahah, to make it all worse my phone also was on bass boost for the music app! How things can go terribly wrong. Now every thing is flat other than I put loudness on low because I don't listen to max volume.

@@AudioHolic1 i use usb as main source for music too BUT ill tell you this. In the beginning, i did what you are doing too. I would put the SLA on 2 or 3 out of 4. BUT later i found keeping it at 0 and instead adjusting the gain properly, will make it sound better and cleaner and you can go all the way to almost max volume. With SLA, i found that i could get to max volume at lower volume levels. The proper way to set gain is to have everything flat and be able to play at almost your max volume without any major clipping. SLA can cause clipping easily if you are not careful. Try keeping it at 0 and redoing your gain.
