If you have your amp set to highpass and your gains to low turning it up will make the highpass coming out louder, if its set to lowpass it will make the lowpass signal coming out of it louder. The gains aren't a volume control they don't give you more of anything and if they're set to high you'll damage something. |

Silver Member Username: SolacedagonyNew Jersey US Post Number: 629 Registered: Oct-04 | www.bcae1.com They have a section on the gain control. Also, I have high pass and low pass filters set on my amp. High pass filters (aka SubSonic) cut off frequencies going to the amp at the set frequency and below it. Low pass filters cut off everything at the set frequency and above it. Depending on your enclosure, you may need both set. For a sealed enclosure, you only need the low pass filter set but I set my high pass because it's a waste of power trying to reproduce anything below like 20hz anyway. |
