i think he means the bass ***** some amps have connected to them to control the bass boost. I dont think you can just add one. your amp has to have one built in. i know kicker has done this for a while..

You can add one inline with the RCA cables from the head unit to the sub amp.

Just set your bass through the deck and play with the amp gains to get the bass sound you want.

Re: help with bass *****

I have a sony deck and it has a setting for low and one for sub. Does anyone know exactly what they really control. Please give a detailed answer, if it goes over my head I will find a way to figure it out.
