recommended in two configurations. (Please see Wiring Configurations for more details.)
1) Front Stereo Configuration
One MaxxBass® Processor is used between the front channel source and front speaker amplifier to increase the bass response on only the front speakers. This is recommended to improve bass imaging in high performance systems with rear mounted subwoofers.
2) Dual Stereo Configurations
For systems without rear subwoofers, the user may prefer to use two MaxxBass® Processors, one for the front speakers and one for the rear speakers. Although not nearly as good bass performance as using a high performance subwoofer, this configuration will provide close to subwoofer like performance without the space requirements of a high performance subwoofer. This is a practical alternative for bass performance where a subwoofer system can not be added.
WHY IS MAXXBASS® BETTER
MaxxBass® is NOT a bass boost technology. Bass boost technologies try to compensate for lack of bass frequency range by equalizing or increasing the relative volume of the frequencies near the speaker limit.
This increases amplifier and speaker excursion limits, which can damage the system at high levels.
This destroys the intended frequency balance of music.
MaxxBass uses psychoacoustics to extend the perceived bass frequency response.
It is proven to provide up to 1.5 octaves of increased bass range.
It does not change the frequency balance of the music and sounds more natural than large bass boosts.
It does not require more amplifier power and speaker excursion.
It has been proven over many years of use in professional audio recording.
WHAT IS MAXXBASS®
MaxxBass® is a patented technology, which extends the bass frequency range by allowing listeners to perceive bass frequencies more than an octave below the physical limitations of speakers systems. In cars MaxxBass® allows door mounted speakers that typically drop off below
