I’ve always used the factory one, I think it’s a must to have a bass knob especially if your running more power then you need

I think the red wire would be remote it and yellow remote out and black ground because the bassknob has a on and off switch. Unless the red is constant powered and inside the knob somehow cuts the remote power off.

I've always heard it's a bass knob, earlier today someone said it was Gain control and now i don't know if i should bother with it. Is is actually a Gain remote? Sounds counter productive if that's actually what it is... why take the time to tune everything and then screw it up by playing with the gain. Please tell me dude was wrong. I trust JP more than random guy online, but yeah.

What he said. Gain on amp is max itll go. Knobs allows u to turn that power down not up

@allrimmedout 2 жыл бұрын

because in the route of it, that knob is actually physically acting as a volume knob, you've already tuned the amp to highest level and the knob is just lowering from there, that's why you can have you knob "only half way up" but there's people that think they know what they're talking about, but will say doing that off your amp itself is different, even if you've already figured out that clipping is a certain spot and anything below that isn't. this knob is like turning your gain down on your amp but when you turn it back up, it'll only raise to the point of where the gain on the amp itself is set at.

I used a Slam Panda knob. Lasted almost a year. Then got a spl cartel knob, and it's starting to go out after 9 months. Idk if these aren't good for daily use or what but I've spent almost $400 in bass knobs🤦‍♂️

@ChaosTherapy719 2 жыл бұрын

Been using the factory knobs in my builds up to this point. But now that I'm looking to run multiple amps using an RCA splitter it just makes more sense to use 1 really good RCA bass knob to control all 3 amps at once instead of running and installing 3 separate wires and factory knobs then struggling to shut the bass down while dealing with the popo

@dabosssr24 2 жыл бұрын

2. Alot of the factory bass knob just control bass boost instead of gain, which is a big no no. And also if u have rca outputs on the amps u can daisy chain them together instead of using splitters. But if you have to use splitter i suggest a rca distro box insread of y-splitter.

I have a question I don't know if you know the answer but, do manufacturers swap location of the cat cables to stop other cat5 five or 7 knobs from being compatible that is the only thing I could think for them not to work. The cables are standardized so the only thing that would stop them from working is the locations of the wires when they are pressed I would assume.

I use the acr3 with audio controls dm608 for a bass knob. Easier way to control multiple amps mids amps highs amps and of course bass amps. Has 4 settings only unfortunately but best believe I use all 4 depending on if it's SQ mode or go deaf spl mode. Works for me anyway

Those would be cool because the woofer style knob would match the subs / Sub you got... And also maybe a knob that looks like amps would be awesome
