Posted January 8, 201015 yr the kicker zx1000.1 has a 0-18db variable bass boost at 40hz.. my question is if i want to run my IDQ15s ported and tuned to 28-30hz would the bass boost hurt the sound of the subs?

I recommend you dont use it and your subs will sound better if you set your amp right and dont use it.
January 8, 201015 yr "Bass boost" should really be renamed to "distortion boost"99.97% of the time, it is a very bad idea to use it.Set your amp right, and spare your subs the abuse.
January 8, 201015 yr Author thanks for the replys, not gunna use it. got my sundown 50.4 in today, looks great cant wait to get the rest of the equipment so we can start the install
January 8, 201015 yr I have the same amp on a BL. I do not use the bass boost at all and the sub sounds great.
January 10, 201015 yr Kawonu, wtf is up with your box?What do you mean?ya i was rocking a 750.1 trying to get more boom out of my CVR 12's x2 and blew one of them Bass boost on AMP is bad just another reason to buy a upgrade rocking CVX's now
January 10, 201015 yr I have the same amp pushing my Cvx 15 for the pass two years and now my Re Audio SX 10 and i do not use the bass boost at all on that amp nor on the head unit eq sub still pounds.
