most informative bass boost video I've ever seen! I was actually thinking you were serious, when I read the title, and was ready to down vote the video. Glad I watched it all though. Bass boost/clip boost, properly set! Thumbs up! 👍

2:52 best advice for those who want quality sound...not loud and distorted 👍🏼

I Love it. That really is the CORRECT setting for bass boost! Awesome funny as heck!

I 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.

Bass 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

[kubaz]

You forgot to glue the knobs in place just in case a friend touches your amplifier! Haha, nice video! Keep up the good work man

[robertosanchez]

Haha he made it simple! For the people that don’t understand...: do not use bass boost!!!

I saw the title and i was Oh? And then yiu hit the nail on the head.
Perfect explanation

[canadianbrotv]

These guys are crazy bass boost up for hip hop and reggae ....lol buy another sub for what i need trunk space a 500 rms shallow mount...

[superchile]

Great teaching there. On point, accurate and simple.

[HifiVega]

Ha! Nice one. Bass boost can be useful in some cases, but overall I totally agree with you!

I usually set bass boost to max and I listen to youtube videos from bass competition demos. As easy as downloading free bass.

[mikebonello]

Nope - 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...

Short, sweet, and to the point! Kudos!

I have the previous model MRP m450 Alpine Amplifier. I just checked the setup the other day to make sure the boost was at zero. If I want to adjust it, I use the head unit. The boost on the amp just causes distortion. The gain isn't a volume knob, as many think. It should match the voltage output of your receiver. There's no reason to have one channel gain set any differently than the other, as it's the same signal strength.

Awesome.
Next video: Gain knob is not a volume. 👍

Just got my first subwoofer and amp and I got it installed at Best Buy and he tuned it and he put the bass EQ on 12 dB should I turn it off? It sounds amazing with the bass Eq on 12 not distorted or anything I don’t know if I should leave it on or off.

[grominwithrob]

As soon as I seen the title I had to watch just to hear you say don't! 😂🤣😂

[raptorgamer]

Quick question can you use a single Channel amplifier to wire up two subwoofers together??

[heavychevy]

sooo... 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
