You are wrong because
1) if you set your gains with a test tone and that is the absolute highest it can play. You can not over drive the amp into clipping.
2) "somebody turns up the bass" you get people in your car messing with your settings? Easy, don't let them
3) "play a bass boosted song" you are already set at 0db. The bass boosted music can't play higher than that
4) "snap, crackle, pop" I don't eat rice crispies in my car, but if I did I don't think it would effect my gain setting.
5) i switch from cd, to radio, to bluetooth, to sd card all the time. Oddly, nothing happens. Maybe if I had a tape player..... I don't know about that one though.
6) "bass knob installed" if you are smart, you set the gains with that knob installed. You use that to gauge your highest output level and then actually use the knob to dial it back.
