Ultimate bass knob showdown!!! PAC-LC1 vs DS18 vs Slam Panda level control review 

I see that you're answering every one's questions. I just want to say a big thank you for that. Man I always want to be able to to ask a pro for tips of the trade.

The PAC has been very good to me and NEVER gave me issues 👍

Just added a DSP to my system left my eq in because I like the quick up and down volume I want to take it out so I looked into knobs and this video couldn’t been a more perfect explanation

Damn dude, I paid $40 Aud for LC1 supporting local shop, just looked online and I can get for $15aud free shipping everywhere. Its all good to support local but damn dude I spent 2 hours driving to shop and back when I could have gotten it for 1/3 of price and sat at home with the extra bonus of having the excitement of a package arriving!

Is the PAC-LC1 isolates the base from the audio? So of full Gain you only hear the base on the PAC-LC1 out to you amp?.. I want to use this to isolate the base to be connected to a mini amp for some bass shakers under the seat.

Just made a demo bass knob from the PAC lc1 to a Jordan jump man logo bass knob.its dope af

Hello. That DS18 accurate on the reading? I know you can calibrate it but I’m wondering if it’s spot on accurate right when you install it. Thank you.

I know this video is a bit older now but do you still use the DS18 knob? I might want to get something similar just without the voltage meter since I already have one. I was wondering what the ratings on the pot meter would be so I can just order a pot and make a knob myself that I'll integrate into an unused accessory slot

Hey, is these knobs universal? I have a hifonics brutus 2000 & wanted a bass knob that has a clip light on it. Please let me know

The DS 18 looks nice. Do you know if it will work on an NVX line out converter going to a Taramps smart 3K amp?

How do you use a bass knob to control your super tweeters,or even your mids? You said you have one controlling your supertweeters in one of your videos, and it would be cool to control my super tweeters so I can bring the volume down if it's too high,maybe even one for my mids, amplifiers that I will be running on for my super tweeters and my amps all come with bass knobs and the amps are full range as well.(ds18 gfx3k2)

Just gotten the LC1 off Amazon for $11 so far so good

Hey i was shopping for some for mids highs and bass and i thought of the panda for my bass but i need to knw which bass knob is better for mids and highs clip or no clip light.. jst wanted to knw so i can order them peace

How you know I’m running the LC1??🧐

You need to make a video on that a pac-1 won’t work good if you’re running more that 5k rms & why or some people will get mad because they won’t get the results that you’re talking about in the video. You’ll need a LC-2. Great video. I just make my own custom LC-2….

What's the difference between these and the ones with the telephone style connector? My amp has the one with that connector

When you turn off the ds18 knob can you still read the voltage meter? Just wondering cause when I turn off my ds18 knob the voltage meter stays on don't know if that's normal or am I connecting something wrong.

So if I ran this on my taramps smart 3 would I turn down the bass boost on the amp or set like normal?

Did you connect the DS18 power wire to the battery or to the amp power?

Learn something new here question since u have power wire right next to the rca do they pick the noise up or how do you prevent that

are these better then the stock ones that come with amps with the telephone cord

One bad thing is you cant turn down the brightness of the voltage read out yes can be a pain its bright at night

Based on the video, the $10 one is the one worth buying. I want a bass knob, not a voltage meter nor a shut off for my amps.

Anyone know if the digital sundown salt bass knob is compatible with the nvx digital bass knob....and since I think the nvx xad16 8000w rms is a copy of the sundown 8000watt rms amp....both use the telephone cord style of connection .....just want to confirm this with anyone since this sundown bass knob is better

The pot on my bass knob does the same thing. For such an expensive bass knob to have problems with it like making my music cuts up-and-down is horrible!!!

Hi I need help wondering if i will be able to install a universal bass knob or not since my stereo does not have rca inputs.

I use a slam panda and love it but it's bright AF

I. Got an amp that has a spot for a knob but that knob cost $20 could I just get the pac-lc1 or would it be best to get the knob it’s designed for

i bet you you got a polarity reversing pot. Good for inverting speaker signal when needed.

Shoot I'll take the blue one!😂 sky high has a few sweet ones similar. But $75-$100!

I noticed that all of the knobs have rca’s and not the phone line style. Why?and which is better?

Sweet I didn't know you were local to Washington I live in tenino myself I'm looking to purchase a base knob maybe you can point me in the right direction😎 the ds18 looks like a great choice

Do you use an aftermarket bass knob or do you use the one that comes with the amp you have ?

I was just looking at the panda last night.

Where do you wire the amp kill switch to the amp?

the only bass control knobs that I could find online is the basic RCA one (PAC-LC1). Where can I find other knobs?

I install the LC1 on motorcycles and side by sides. I do not recommend them for one issue that no one talks about. When you install the LC1 the music drops down in volume. I noticed this when installed one the other day on a motorcycle.

Good video. I will be adding a DSR1 as well as upgrading my RCAs at the same time and was wondering about the bass knob/voltage meter combo. Didn't know if there were draw backs other than the fact of the RCAs attached to them may not be the same quality as the stingers, but with the combo only having like 4 inches of RCA. That is a good thing. However I'm left with a question. Do I install it between my head unit and DSR1 or between the DSR1 and amp? At the start of the video you said you were going to mention the best place to mount it, but must have gotten side tracked. Thanks for the knowledge!

Good luck with that slam panda full year and I never got mine replaced. I thought I was the only person that had exactly same issue sense day one . I finally threw the thing away cause when i got in contact the Last year they acted like it's impossible for there product to be a pile of Donkey poo. I ended up going to radio shack and built one the same way besides mine actually works like it should and it cost me a total or 11 bucks for ev we everything

Have a question. As far as the voltmeter, where is the best place to hook up the power of the voltmeter to get the most accurate levels of your voltage?

Were can I find the DS18 BKVR

Can I get the lc1 from you. I got the rp2000 and the knob that came with it takes away power. I’m bummed

sad how such simple gadgets are not available in my country. I want one for my subs but the shipping cost (in relation to actual cost) puts me off. Might have to ship in a bundle.

Which one of these can I use with a lc2i ?

how much was the panda knob and what's the link?

I installed one of these PAC LC-1 in my truck on an alpine sub amp and i'm getting humming tru my subs can some one help ?

I bought an identical bass knob other than its sky high branded, but slam panda internals. I got it on my channel. But it doesn't work for some reason. The led and volt meter work tho. Its breaking my heart. I think they forgot to solder something.

Where’s your shop at ?

Always test before you sell.

Shit I went through like 10 pac lc-1s I have the ct sounds universal one too that ds18 looks like they copied them I’ve ran the spl cartel gernades had issues with them will never buy there crap again and now I really n a custom made 180$ slam panda no acrylic I don’t like those no volt meter I can’t stand that on the knob but I got a metal casing with my custom l.a. on it and my name downer with some broads and clowns on it it’s bad ass can’t complain

Wold you sell me the sundown custom bass knob my friend

Link to Slam panda?

This is not a review he is just giving his opinion with no data or testing to back it up

Cheap pots used will not be balanced from left channel to right channel.

try out SPL Cartel bass knobs. you'll change your mind

Lc1 junk don't know about the others tho

By a Kenwood or any upper line head unit you wont need none of these !

"bad pot" thats not a bad pot that's him wiring it wrong

Panda has zero customer support
