What’s the difference between increasing a stereo’s bass signal and just amplifying it?

I have a bass amp I’d like to hook up to my stereo, but I’m told it might not help much if the stereo itself can’t take advantage of it because of its integrated amp limitations (or something like that).

The problem you have is getting just a bass signal, not the whole frequency range. You need a cross-over to seperate the lows from the mids and highs so you can get the low end boost you need. If you just hook the amp up, then you will just be making everything louder. It would help the low end a little being that it’s a bass amp, but the effect you’re looking for won’t happen like you probably want. As far as any integrated amp limitations, sounds like someone’s trying to sound like they know a little more than they really do… you can use the sterio’s signal and do whatever you want to it’s output if you buy the right equiptment.
