The PB-GAIN1 is a wired remote level control, often called a bass knob, that puts your subwoofer’s volume right at your fingertips. Instead of setting your bass once at the amplifier and leaving it, you can adjust it from the cabin to suit each track. At Safe and Sound we have spent over 30 years fitting subwoofer systems, and a remote level control like this is one of the small touches that makes a big system far nicer to live with.
Why fit a PB-GAIN1?
Different recordings are mixed with different amounts of bass, and what sounds perfect on one track can be too much or too little on the next. The PB-GAIN1 gives you a secondary gain control mounted within easy reach, so you can turn your subwoofer up for a bass-heavy track and rein it back in for vocals or quieter listening, all without reaching for the amp.
Simple to fit, tidy to live with
The PB-GAIN1 is an easy one-wire installation: a single cable runs from the controller to the remote level port on a compatible PowerBass amplifier. It comes complete with the bass knob, connecting cable and mounting screws, so it can be neatly fixed within reach of the driver. It is a small upgrade that makes a real difference to day-to-day use.

Pairs perfectly with your PowerBass amplifier
The PB-GAIN1 is the ideal partner for a PowerBass subwoofer amplifier such as the PB-500D, PB-500.2D or PB-1000D, each of which features a remote level control port designed for it. If you are adding bass to your system, fitting the controller at the same time means you will get the most enjoyment from it straight away.
Supplied and fitted by Safe and Sound
Although the PB-GAIN1 is a simple device, routing the cable cleanly and mounting the knob in the right spot makes all the difference to a professional-looking install. With more than three decades of car audio and vehicle security experience, Safe and Sound can supply the PB-GAIN1 on its own or fit it alongside your amplifier and subwoofer for a neat, properly finished result.
