Is the wired remote control for the SAZ-1500D a bass boost or is it a level control meaning will it boost a certain frequency or will it adjust the entire output level of the amp? Also when I set up the amp, my head unit outputs are 5V so I set the gain on the amp for 5V right? So when I attach the wired remote for the amp, regardless of what level the remote is set to I shouldn't get any clipping? Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, but I've never owned an amp with a wired remote. One last thing, the SAX-100.4 also comes with a wired remote, does it work the same way as for the SAZ-1500D?

when u set ur gains on the amp, the bass remote will only take the output to what u have set on the amps gain

Is the wired remote on the SAX-100.4 only for bass? If you use the wired remote on the SAX-100.4, I guess it would control the levels of all the channels?

the wired remote on the 100.4 controlls the bass boost even tho its the same remote as trhe 1500 and 3000D

Okay so the remote for the SAZ-1500D is a level control and the remote for the SAX-100.4 is for the bass boost. Is that correct? I just don't get that because the SAZ-1500D has a bass boost as well. I think I'll wait for a detailed explanation from Jacob as this wired remote is more complicated than I thought.

ya. who honestly uses the bass boost on the 1500D?

I wouldn't use a bass boost but if the wired remote is a level control where it doesn't just boost a certain frequency, I would certainly use that.

that is correct on the 1500 and 3k the remote controls the gain and wont allow the knob to take you higher than what the gain on the amp is set to

Thanks. That's basically all I needed to know. It's nice to have a volume control for the sub where I can just turn a knob instead of going into the settings of my head unit. The wired remote for the 1500D I can use, the wired remote for the 100.4 sounds like something I will not use.

well keep the remote for the 100.4 since they are the same piece

I'm going to keep the remote, I'm just not going to use it on the 100.4. It'll sit in my closet and collect dust.

some people use the sax class to drive subs, thats why it come with the remote gain like all the others,

one thing to think about, i am gonna install mine for my SAX series for when i meter my subs i can just cut my remote gain on my sax so its not screaming, and i dont have to unplug anything.

I don't compete, my system is a daily pounder. I will not need to turn down my mids/highs and I wouldn't ever want to either. This is for my listening enjoyment for as long as I have my hearing.
