That makes no sense whatsoever... Why would any amplifier have a bass boost then?? If it is something that causes itself to destroy what it is meant to operate? Thats just ridiculous, why not call it the clipper then instead of bass boost?
if you had an idea of how an amp worked internally then you'd understand bass boost a lil better. i can't really explain it, but i have my own idea of how it works.
that's what all the ricer kids say. "yo dawg my system ****in SLAMS homie!" i have the gains maxxed out cuz it dictates how much bass i get, and the bass boost makes this **** crazy loud when i crank it!!" 2 months later the kid will be looking for a new amp and have gone thru 5 subs.
to make up for the lack of bass on some songs (basically like an epicenter does, except bass boost is one frequency and with an epicenter, you can create your own eq curves, etc. ).
alot of amps have a bass knob control with a cord extending from the amp to wherever they wish to mount it and they can adjust it on the amp with the control all the way up and that way they can turn it up or down as needed.
Even thought your amp is rated at 350 rms, it is not putting that out on a daily/constant basis. If you have to turn your bass boost up to get the sub moving, my recomendation would be to look into a more powerfull amp. If your sub is rated at 350 RMS, maybe look for something a little above that and set your gains properly according to the gain setting tutorial. I will hit a little harder and sound much cleaner in most cases.
