Do I have to buy a kicker bass knob for my kicker amp or can I use the bass remote from an infinity amp ? They both plug in using a phone cord lol....so shouldnt it work ?

NO. you will probably fry your amp. you need to get the exact bass knob that came with your amp or you risk total destruction.

yea, you might get lucky and it just doesnt work but you might get unlucky and short something out inside the amp. imo its not worth the risk . true it is the same plug but the wires are in different spots.

These guys are correct on the plug in style. You can however use a standard rca level knob on any amp that uses rca's for the source..obviously. Pac-audio makes a good one
