JL Audio RBC-1 Car Audio Bass Remote Control – #98015

If you're serious about your car audio setup, the JL Audio RBC-1 is a must-have tool for boosting your bass game. This innovative bass remote control allows you to dial in the perfect low-frequency punch right from the driver's seat, ensuring that your music always sounds its best, no matter where the road takes you.

What is the JL Audio RBC-1?

The JL Audio RBC-1 isn’t just any remote; it’s a specialized “Bass Boost” switch designed to enhance your audio experience. When activated, it provides a +6dB boost centered at 48 Hz, letting you feel every beat in your chest. Think of it as a personal sound engineer, allowing you to tweak the bass response to your liking.

Compatibility and Versatility

One of the standout features of the RBC-1 is its compatibility with a wide range of JL Audio amplifiers. Whether you’re rocking an A-Series, G-Series, RD Series, or the mono JX-Series, this remote has got you covered. It seamlessly integrates with most Slash v2 amps too. This flexibility means you don’t have to overhaul your entire system to enjoy the benefits of remote bass control.

Easy Installation and User-Friendly Design

Mounting the RBC-1 is a breeze. With the included mounting hardware and an 18-foot cable, you can place the remote right where you need it most. Want it within arm's reach? Go for it! Or, if you prefer a more discreet setup, you can tuck it away. Plus, the simple rotary knob design makes it incredibly user-friendly. Just turn it to boost or lower your bass levels and enjoy the ride.

Transform Your Bass Experience

When you connect the JL Audio RBC-1 to your amplifier, it converts the amp's selectable bass boost (either 0 or 6 dB) into a variable boost ranging from 0 to 12 dB. If you’re using the Slash v2 amps, the RBC-1 even replaces the amplifier's boost knob, allowing you to adjust your bass boost from 0 to 15 dB. Imagine having total control over your sound, adjusting the thump while cruising down the highway or parked at a red light.

Subwoofer Level Control Made Simple

For JL Audio’s RD Series and JX-Series mono amps, the RBC-1 also controls the subwoofer level, letting you switch between full mute and full volume with ease. Whether you're blasting your favorite tracks or keeping it low-key, you can adjust the bass levels to fit your mood without any hassle.
