controlling amp gain from driver's seat
Ok, I know I'm going crazy here.
I remember looking through the forums this week and I saw someone with a little knob built into the dash which controlled the gain of the amp.
Anyway, I would like to be able to do that for my amp (damn MP3s music vary too much in volume/quality)
I think I've seen this little device at Circuit City, but my question is can this work knob thing work on any amp? or is it for a specific brand?

PAC makes one (I think its an LD-1) that can control any amp. It has rca inputs and outputs. I have one that I haven't even opened and I may be selling it in couple of weeks pending an upcoming install.

That should work, I don't know if it has any electronics in it, but if it does it may add noise. Other that that it sounds good. You could also make one with stuff from radio shack.

I have a phoenix gold bass cube. Controls gain to +15 db. Rca's from the deck to the cube...then to the amp....simple insall. 4pin telephone wire from the cube to anywhere you would like to mount the contol. You can also control your crossover freq. Its worth the $

a bass boost and gain control are two different things. A gain control knob is not a volume control! Your going to want to control your bass like some others have mentioned like vector not your gain. If you don't have a hookup like that on your amp than unfortunatly your s.o.l.
