Some people use it a little bit, and amatures use it all the way up. I guess I don't understand what's wrong with using it. Will it cause clipping, poor sound quality, what? I mean, it's there for a reason, right? |

You COULD go less than that and still have a clean signal. Unfortunately, not everybody knows when to stop. Another point, bass boost is usually 45 hz, the sub didnt move more because he wasn't playing around that. If he would have shown voltage and played around 45 hz, you would have seen the sub move more and the voltage go up. Go eD for only giving half the information to make them look better!" |

Not completely true... look on the meter it has voltage on the top right :D |
