Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

I have a DMM and the test tones and have done some of this already. I would be more interested in the steps they take to tune it, to understand if there is more to be done that I haven't already.

 

Dennis, any chance you wanna mail some donuts/kolaches to Temple?

 

Usually you start from the Hu and measure when it Hu starts to clip. Then work your way back. He said smaller systems he would just tune by ear.


How did you find out what volts your amp had to be at with the dmm?

 

Oh? This fit being the seat nicely. Hell you should be able to put 3 behind the seat lol

 

Google.... search amp tuning and you should find a table.

 

MrMarv recommends these subs to, so some cred.

 

Table doesn't make sense. .... it doesn't tell you if you have this many watts and this many ohms of resistance this is what you set it to. It's just volts to amps table. How does it know when y I ur amp clips?

 

Box is pretty easy to make. If you decide to take the plastic bins out. The first picture you have. There is a metal bracket holding the seats in place. Building the box around that sucks.... lol

I would put 3 of those behind the seat!

I had a Mazda SUV I traded in that had an occasional miss in it. I had taken it to Mazda and some local shops but nobody could pinpoint it. Loaded up a trailer with my bike and a few other things, hooked it on the SUV and went to the dealer, I had OD locked out (it seemed to miss less when not in OD??) They test drove it with the trailer attached. Unhooked the trailer and hooked it to the new truck and drove away lol

 

Correct, DMM does not see clipping, that is your ears. Would need an oscilloscope to "see" clipping. With just a DMM you use the table to set the volts based on the amp output, then listen for any clipping at that level.

 

Lol just drive down here and get it!!!!

 

It's be cheaper and fresher that way

 

MrMarv for the best quality enclosures, unless you know someone local. Soundoffaudio for cheaper, adequate boxes.

 

This is very tempting....

Well Temple is 3 hours away.. I might come out for lunch or something Saturday just to say hi if I can.

 

This is the one I was going to buy. But the guy that the audio shop said he has the same one. Watch "Proven Accuracy - SMD Crossover Calibrator CC-1 plus Gain Matching" on YouTube

Message him about your wants for the sub box, he also makes all the trim rings for putting in new speakers. He is very helpful and makes top notch stuff.
