Works as it should. Smooth operation, long cable length. Be sure to tune your gain with this unplugged, then plug it in. You want to be sure your sub max gain is set before using this.

Should be included with their products!!!
WIFL5150 from MO on 4/4/2021
It works flawlessly as you would expect from Audio Control. Crutchfield is the place to order it from as their shipping is fast and the customer service you will get is top notch. The reason for only 4 stars is that Audio Control losses one star for not including this in their products that it works with. All other manufacturers include this part.

Most likely necessary
Levi from Oklahoma City, OK on 5/15/2020
Purchased to help control the sub signal using an LC2i on a 2012 Silverado Bose head unit connected to the post amp factory subwoofer leads. 3 stars not because I dislike it, because I wish it were more than it is at this price point. Seems well built, not flimsy plastic. As others have "commented" the control does not "feel linear" meaning the volume does not steadily increase/decrease as you are rotating. Not a deal breaker and relatively easy to manage. What I REALLY wish, it would mute at 0, no signal, but not the case. The Bose head unit is a tad tricky as at relatively or very low listening volume, the unit pumps up the bass signal. If this remote would zero at zero, I could push my amp gain harder while better managing the Bose signal increase at low head unit volume. In the end this unit will save you much frustration when dialing in the subwoofers added a stock stereo, I just wish it was a touch more flexible and feature oriented. This is the first time I've added subwoofers to a stock head unit, so a learning process for myself. I went with the LC2i as it seems to be the overwhelming popular option.
Pros: well constructed
Cons: does not mute signal at 0. not a linear sweep. power light somewhat bright.

Chang-a-da-bass
Crutchfield customer from Stockton, CA on 3/25/2020
I've always heard many good things about Audiocontrol and the quality of their products. I am limited as to what I can do inside my quad can Dodge Ram 1500 because I still need the use of my backseat for kids. I already have two 12" shallow mount subs under the back seat run off an Alpine 1000 watt amplifier but I wanted more. Plus I wanted to be able to adjust my bass on the fly without having to flip thru a bunch of functions on my head unit. I bought the Audiocontrol Overdrive plus to boost the strength of the signal going to my amplifier and achieved deeper, stronger bass. With the ARC-1 mounted on my dash I am able to increase and decrease the bass for each different song I play with just a turn of the knob. I go back and forth between rap,rock and metal so this bass knob is very useful for me.
Pros: Quality build, functionality
Cons: None

Whomever invented the bass knob is a genius.
Joseph from Gardendale, AL on 3/22/2020
Kind of pricey just for a bass knob, but its built like a tank. No plastic delicate thing here. Gets the job done and fits in a reasonable amount of space or allows for some custom installation with disassembly from the housing. Had some great stereos over the years and a bass knob always offers on the fly simple attenuation..Its a must have item for me.
Pros: Sturdy build
Cons: A bit pricey...

AudioControl ACR-1
Crutchfield customer from Texarkana, TX on 6/22/2019
Works as advertised. I like it better than the ACR-2 because it's not an infinite dial. It starts at the typical zero position & spins around the typical max position unlike the ACR-2 that continuously spins where the turns needed for adjustment vary each time. I would love if it had the click/bypass function to compare with/without the voltage boost but that's no big issue. Being able to take it apart to custom mount it is really nice & makes my install look clean.
Pros: Dial is clean & functions as advertised. Dial has enough resistance that it doesn't feel lose when adjusting.
Cons: A little pricey for just a knob with no additional functions. Price would be justified if it had the defeat function.

Nice to have, works well
Chris S from York, PA on 11/4/2012
I like the way this adjusts the sub level but wish it would kill it completely. The adjustment range is fairly good though but I think I could've gotten by fine without it. The bracket assembly is really rugged but was also a little tough to mount. I found I have nowhere in a Prius that has 3" without a curve and no easy under-dash places. I tried to figure out how to get the unit apart to do a custom mount but gave up, the instructions to me seemed much easier said than actually done and I didn't wanna risk throwing my $40 in the trash as a broken heap. I use this with an LC6i since I decided to keep my factory head unit. With no subwoofer control on the stereo and the amp in the trunk, I do find that in spite of it all, it is useful.
Pros: On-the-fly subwoofer adjustment with a factory stereo
Cons: Not so easy to mount.

Good remote
Nick from Cincinnati, Ohio on 9/9/2012
This switch works just like a remote switch does for a sub amp. The only draw back, mounting it is not very plausible. There's no bottom, side, or back to this switch. I have an 03 Ranger and there are no flat surfaces where I can mount this. The only spot that I could put this was in my glove department. Which is the last place this thing needs to be mounted.And if you want to know how loud the switch is set to, good luck finding it without turning it all the way down or using white out to mark a dot on it first. The white dot that is put on the dial comes off with a gentle rub.
Pros: Works great.
Cons: No where to mount it with easy access and no way to tell where the knob is turned to without marking it yourself.

Does the Job
Jellybean from Kewanee, IL on 6/15/2012
Works perfectly. I mounted the remote in the center console of my '09 Cooper S with some double sided tape (didn't feel like putting holes in anything) and I was able to route the cable throughout my car completely unseen. I thought they gave me too much cable , but I ended up only having like 6 inches to spare, which worked out perfectly. The control over the LC2i driving my sub is a godsend. No more having to go through menus on the stock radio to get to the bass control just to drop the bass down. Other thoughts: I am going to cut a little notch in the top of the knob so I can have some reference to where the volume is set...the little indicator dot is impossible to feel and you need a light to see it. Easy mod though and it will make for a much easier reference point on the knob.
Pros: Easy install for quick and precise control over subwoofer volume.
Cons: A bit pricey

Perfect addition
kevwot from Anchorage, AK on 4/25/2012
This remote gain knob was a byproduct of the need for the Audiocontrol Matrix in my car's stereo upgrade. I love having control over my sub channel. My head unit can do it too, but not as precise as this knob. It's very smooth and tight. The knob is actually metal so it doesn't feel cheap. The wire is so long. I ran it on the wrong side of the car and it was still long enough. I don't have the same problem that the other reviewer had. My knob has plenty of rotation. My sub it completely off before the knob has been turned all the way to the left, and more bass than I can handle before it is all the way to the right.
Pros: High quality feel. Metal parts. Smooth operation. Well worth the price
Cons: None.

Good but not great
I paired this with an AudioControl LC6i (not sure if it would work with other devices). Installation was very easy (one wire). The unit is relatively small and has a nice quality feel to it. I used two-sided tape to mount it down by my cigarette lighter. My only complaint (but I feel it's a big one) is the range of subwoofer gain (basically volume) control it gives you. I hope this isn't too confusing! There are now three places in my car where I control subwoofer volume. On the amp, on the LC6i, and this knob. Before the knob, I had the LC6i set to about 90% and the amp set to about 50%. I'll call this combination the "EXISTING VOLUME". For me, the EXISTING VOLUME represented about the MAX subwoofer volume I'd ever want, but it was frequently too loud. I assumed the knob, when turned all the way down/up, would basically zero out/max out the EXISTING VOLUME, respectively. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I feel that this knob allows me to control the EXISTING VOLUME from about 40% of what it was before the knob all the way up to 100% of what it was before the knob. And for me, this 40% is still sometime too loud. As I find it the most important to be able to basically turn off the sub when I want, I find myself making a compromise by turning down the volume on the amp/LC6i so the knob can get the sub to basically 0. This limits the max though. I would have given it 5 stars if it gave me control from 0%-100% of the EXISTING VOLUME.
Pros: Easy to install, high quality, attractive, relatively inexpensive
Cons: Lack of control
