[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8862709, member: 654802"] The amp I am using is a JL 1200/1. It uses a Q booster which I found quite annoying. Basically you choose a frequency that you wish to boost/attenuate. In my case, I set it at 45Hz being that it is more or less at the center of the bass spectrum. It ONLY attenuates (or boosts) that frequency, so all other bass will still be playing balls to the wall when an overly aggressive bass track kicks in, possibly damaging your subs if you are slow on the trigger. I solved this issue by using an inline gain attenuator that also has a frequency adjuster. I turn the amp's Q knob completely down and the inline at half and the frequency wide open. If the song's bass is level, I turn up the inline gain; if it lacks lower end, I turn up the amp's Q. If the song's upper bass notes are too strong, I turn down the inline's frequency. I now really love the amp/inline combo because I have full control of the bass quality regardless of how the song was recorded.[ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20230530-071216.png"]54600[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
