Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Check your Turn On Mode switch. If it's set to "REM" but you haven't connected a remote wire, it won't trigger the output. For factory radios without a remote wire, switch it to DC or AUD (Audio) to enable auto-sensing.
Modern factory amps look for a specific "load" (speaker resistance). If they don't see it, they shut off. Use the Load Select switch on the NVX XBBR2 and toggle between 20Ω, 60Ω, or 20kΩ until your head unit stays active.
This is likely a ground loop. Instead of returning the unit, adjust the Ground Isolation switch. Switching between GND, ISO, or 200-ohm settings usually eliminates this noise by isolating the signal from the vehicle's chassis.
Distortion often happens if the Gain is too high or the Sweep/Wide settings are over-boosted. Lower the Gain until the Clip LED stops flashing red. Use the NVX XBBR2's Wide knob to narrow the frequency range for a tighter, punchier hit.
Yes. Tap into the factory subwoofer signal for the best results. The NVX XBBR2 will grab that rolled-off signal and restore the low-end frequencies that the factory amp filtered out.

Works as a budget Epicenter.

The following review is for a previous version (XBBR).

I bought this to add some extra bass to my system. Firstly, if you already have good bass, then using a remote bass knob that came with your amp will probably be sufficient. I'm a bass-head and can never get enough bass. This does a great job of adding bass to music that isn't very bassy to begin with. When listening to bass heavy music, such as rap, I found that this actually lessened the amount of bass? Kinda funny because I thought I would have at least the same as before I installed it. . But, 70's and 80's music is benifitted greatly by this. The bass that is put out is a rumbly muddy unclear bass, but still sounds oddly good. My setup is a Rockford Power BD10001 amp for subs and powering 4 12" Rockford subs as well as a Rockford 600.4 powering a set of Rockford mids and tweets up front and a pair of Rockford 5 1/4" coaxials in the rear. I already had immense amounts of bass and gave this a try for a little more. And in conclusion, it really depends on what you listen to in order to get the most out of it. Rock and country really come to life, dance and rap lose out on bass. The thing I liked most was the high voltage outputs to the sub amp and being able to turn the gain way down.

The following review is for a previous version (XBBR).

I just purchased another one of these units for my truck, it is a must have. I was able to get this and the second one I just purchased for 70 bucks each, I can tell a big difference when this isn't plugged in!

ok product

The following review is for a previous version (XBBR).

This unit is for someone who has weak bass. If u already have good setup u can bypass this unit and just get a good crossover and a processor other than this one. Im running a custom subwoofer and hifonica amp this unit has an artificial sound but produces a drastic increase of bass. With the remote is how to get performance out of the unit. If u are looking for real low bass u will be disappointed. My sub is tuned to 30hz so the 35hz subsonic filter will kill u

Gives an added kick.

The following review is for a previous version (XBBR).

Works just like the epicenter and some others. i like it and it gives me additional low frequency for added thump. I have it with a fosgate punch 1000watts monoblock.

XBBR

The following review is for a previous version (XBBR).

This was a very nice unit like all other NVX products. If you listen to music with no bass or very little bass it is a must have but i listen to rap and a lot of bass-heavy music and it ended up REDUCING bass!! it is intended for music with little or no bass, not for music with a lot of bass, and in turn will reduce your overall thump! If your music is not bass heavy you must get it. It is great for the price!

good combo

The following review is for a previous version (XBBR).

I got it with my fosgate amp and it helps for songs without a ton of bass. my system is pretty simple setup with 2 12 and a sealed box and i like the extra lows i get with it.
