Our take on the Alpine RUX-KNOB

by Buck Pomerantz

The RUX-KNOB remote level controller works with Alpine's PDX, MRV, and MRX Series mono amplifiers so you can manage your bass level from the front of your vehicle. The RUX-KNOB adjusts your amp's level from its set maximum volume all the way down to virtually "off." Since it adjusts level and not "bass boost," you'll maintain the same bass tone as you turn the volume up and down. You can control multiple amplifiers with a single remote by adding a standard phone cable splitter (not included).

    Alpine RUX

    Written By JCW, Horsham, PA on Friday, June 07, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Good stuff - Its nice to be able to control line-level input of the sub.

    Not so good stuff: There is no sense of indexing. There is no marking on the knob or dial so there is no way to tell where on the scale the level is set. The maximum loudness adjustment is based on the gain set on the sub. Once the knob is turned to where the gain is maxed, there will be no additional gain as the knob still has farther to travel. This means there is no way to tell with the turn of the knob where max actually is.

    Essentially, this is a very cheaply made accessory.

    The bass knob is amazing! Different songs produce different types of bass and its nice to be able to control that in a split second.

    MUST HAVE

    This is a no-brainer to purchase. I have this hooked up to the Alpine MRV-M500 and I could not imagine my system without it. Simple to get the right amount of bass to each and every sone. Don't know why someone would not get this.
    Pros:
    Easy, total control
    Cons:
    none

    This sub control works very well. Makes controlling the bass volume quick instead of having to press many buttons on my navigation unit to just control the sub volume which is an unnecessary driving distraction.
    Pros:
    Great Unit
    Cons:
    None

    Alpine Knob

    Written By JesseM, Davenport, Fl on Monday, April 22, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Bass knob works exactly as it needs to. Installed on an Alpine PDX-V9. Only thing I wish is that someone would start making nicer looking knobs. It seems that all the manufacturers make the same looking ones with not to much thought into the "looks" of them. I have installed plenty of them and not much change in the years. Maybe an LED to display the Alpine logo would be great.
    Pros:
    Simple to install. Does its job.
    Cons:
    basic looking

    Bass Head

    Written By WiiPlaya, Surprise, AZ on Tuesday, February 26, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Knob works as described. Have it connected to MRX-V70 5-channel amp. It's an excellent control to have because I have the amp connected to my factory head unit and it doesn't have subwoofer control. The installer was even able to install it in an empty slot on my dash. It looks like it came from the factory like that.
    Pros:
    Able to control bass when amp is connected to a factory head unit
    Cons:
    None

    Very nice option to adjust amount of base on the fly. Works well with my Alpine MRX-M50.
    Pros:
    Locate where you want.
    Cons:
    Wish it had a stock face mount to allow the knob installation to protrude thru my dash, instead of side mount. Just a thought.
