No this will not give you more bass!!!Save your money money!I have tried two pre amps with this unit.I purchased this amp to be a back up amp,and i have let it break in with my bryston and my usp-1pre amp.Just buy a polk audio or a martin logan sub woofer.I bought the martin logan for 129.00 great sub for the price...

Any Quality Pre Amp should be transparent George. The Emotiva Pre is neutral as I can hear. So if Your going for more bass then get a sub woofer. Gerard Masters

The only one worth buying is Objective 2 amp or the amp/dac version. That said, I've never felt I needed one and an amp doesn't fix the bass problem these have.

If your receiver is pushing more watts per channel then this amp will not be louder. But the quality of sound produced by the Emotiva will more than likely be a large improvement, unless you own a high-end receiver (normally costing thousands of dollars).

I can't say. It is a subtle distortion pedal that I use for crunch more than distortion. I can't imagine this pedal being very interesting sounding with bass. Perhaps one of their hi-gain or fuzz options might be a better fit.

I would suggest something. Class d and atleast 2000w rms im running a hifonics 1700.1 and sounds pretty good but im thinking about upgrading my amp

Get a better amp. Better amp=clearer sound=les distortion=no blown speakers including Sub. Good luck.

As far as l know (also based in my experience), a different amplifier won't increase the bass drastically (you might get better control of it, though). I would rather invest in a different pair of HPs. May l ask you what type of bass would you like to increase? Sub-bass, mid-bass? Have you tried to EQ it (with Foobar2000, for example)?

Mine had excellent bass from the start...almost too much. It might be your source that is lacking bass.

I'd look at the Fender Rumble Bass Amps, they are made for bass and there are several different sizes and price ranges to choose from.

I have the Emotiva XPA-2 and a Marantz pre amp. This combo is feeding my 2 Polk audio speakers and the sound is awesome

You can use a preamp to feed analog to the miniX. My only concern is having 2 volume knobs. You'll have to do a balancing since you'll be changing the input levels as well as having an integrated volume knob on the Emotiva. If you have a PC based system you can manipulate the equalizer to add additional bass...etc. Perhaps something else in your "chain" lacks such as your speakers or even small gauge speaker wires. Using inexpensive interconnects (monster, energy) may also hinder sound quality. Going to blue jeans cable, take 5 audio have diy or prebuilt options much superior to many consumer grade store bought options. You can use a preamp to feed analog to the miniX.

I would recommend you a higher amp! 2300 would be better if you want to add a subwoofer

No, I have used like that for about a year, but if you prefer even a better sound quality, I recommend you to get an Amplifyer. It boost the bass and overall sound clearness.

assuming that you have an XLR output on your bass amp, this should work great.

Hi, I have my Emotiva UPA-700 connected to a Marantz SR6007 Home Theater AV Receiver. I felt that the sound is not louder, but it is clearer. I tested it to see if it was worth keeping the Emotiva. I felt it was worth it. Also, as an FYI - Since I have 4 ohm impedance Dynaudio speakers I decided to go with a separate amp to protect my receiver. The thing that surprised me the most was my volume level is at about the 2/3rd level. (With my earlier Yamaha receiver without any amp, it was usually at the 1/4th level).

If you are just using them for high-mid range and you're not looking to get that much bass out of it, I would suggest to go with the Pioneers very rich in sound and definitely does the job especially if you have an Equalizer. Check out the Clarion EQS746 Improves any type of music 110% hands down/ very useful if you have an amp or more than one in my case. I'm running 3 amps off this bad boy and very satisfied with the results!

Hitfonics 1600.1 Brutus . Don't get a cheap amp get a good amp for a good sub like sundowns
