Recently installed my Arc 4150xxk. It's running good and all but I was wondering if there is any advantage/disadvantage to having the bass **** attached. (please spare me the don't use bass boost jargin). I have full control of the sub channel through my head unit of course with the ability to turn it off. With the **** I suppose I could turn it down lower if I wanted to or something of the like but It just doesnt seem necessary to me... any suggestions?

 

Its definatly not necessary. If ur gains have been properly set with a DMM u should never have any use for it.

 

Alright, problem solved lol. Thanks.

 

i was going to post something similar about the arc bass ****, but i thought i'll get flamed

 

Yeah, not necessary at all. I don't have the bass **** installed on my JL amp either.

 

Lol well at least I beat you to it and you didn't get flamed... and we're both bass **** free!

 

usually if you want it its a cool option. It adjusts from the output you have the gain set at, so its usually a safe option. To me its a pain switchin, choosing audio, scrolling to sub, then hitting the button. **** makes it alot easier...TOO BAD the ebc's are hard to find...

 

The Arc **** is a bit funny with the 4150 and the 5150, I just wouldnt use it at all...

 

Inline RBGs are easy to find, I usually have a few here.

 

Is it really? What do you mean its a bit funny? I don't plan to use it anyways but... care to elighten us?

 

They dont usually work well with those two amps.

 

O i c, well glad I didn't waste my time installing it!

 

Did you say JL?

Your dismissed, please leave the room now.

 

Ive only tried on a couple a few years back when I first picked up Arc, never tried again though. Try it out...

 

Ok i'll try it out in the trunk and see if it works right or not.

 

Don, my bass **** started working all of a sudden. It comes in handy when you want to turn the bass down quickly.

 

Well I usually keep the bass as the first audio option when I go into the audio display and I can quickly turn it down w/ my steering wheel remote.

 

The Arc **** in my car works quite well.

 

quick question... my bros kicker kx600.1 has the BB **** and he wants it hooked up, what do i need in order to get it to work? thanks.

 

Ummm plug it in Newb

 

no cord from Manny...?

 

Well you have the **** and the cord right? So plug and play!

 

Yes... all 8 or 9 or w/e work very well

 

I think you missed one...

 

no cord...i was scammed!!!! jk jk.
edit: what cord does it need so i can buy it for my bro?

 

LMAO Manny still has it in his car.


Just get a regular phone cord.

 

Lol now it all makes sense.

 

aite. so with the kicker BB, how do i set it up? should i put his gain higher so he can adjust it there? like rubbers i dont use these things...

 

I think typically the bb can adjust the full frequency so you should turn the bass boost all the way down on the amp if it has one. This is what Arc recommends with its bass ****. As far as the gain I'm not too sure. If the **** is just going to be adjusting the gain level then I would put it all the way down.

 

Yes control it from the **** and turn it up on the amp.

 

The **** isnt the same with all amps, some its a bass boost, others its RBG Remote Bass Gain. Simply put it move your gain control from the amp to the cabin. Turning the gain on the amp all the way down will leave nothing to control.

 

ok, cool. so Don is the kicker **** a gain or BB ****?

 

So if its an RBG then when the **** is all the way up it will only go as far up as the gain control is already set? I get it know, thanks for more knowledge sir.

 

I believe for Kicker is a gain.

 

Correct sir.

 

my 1500xxk didn't come with no ****...

 

be happy Don sells to you after your lackluster way of sending $$$. lol, jk.

 

hahaha guess i deserved that one...

 

Maybe Ill send ya one when ya choose some comps.

 

I'll test mine out like tuesday when I get my car back
