I have this exsact amp. If you wanna know anything at all about it feel free to PM me. It's worked damn good for me. And the bass knob adjust the gain, if you plug it in it over rides whatever the gain is set on the amp, so if you have it turned down on the amp and plug this in and crank it up, its going past what it was set at previously.
I have it wired @1 ohm pushing two alpine type r 10's in my truck
