Precision Power MaxxBass - Manual (Page 4)

WHY USE MAXXBASS
PrecisionPower TM will introduce the first MaxxBass ® processor to
the automotive market. The MaxxBass ® processor is ideal for
improving the perceived bass response in door mounted speakers
without upgrading the speakers or amplifiers.
MaxxBass ® provides subwoofer like performance with perceived
bass response to 30-40Hz on door mounted speakers. The
MaxxBass ® Processor is 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.
