i no this has ben covered many times, but can someone please explain just one more time how to do this for a sub amp.
or even just a good link would be great.
and what is the best tone to do this with for a sub amp. 50hz, 60hz? i've read pink noise is good to use for sub and component amp's. ware can i find that?
tyvm, i know these same questions get old but i just wana do it right, even though it's not full proof it's still better then setting it buy ear, right?
ok, great. if i did it right than it looks like i'm looking for 54.7v thanks again daniel.
so do i just leave the sub hooked up, or do i disconnect it from the amp and only have the leads from the dmm going into the speaker input's. iv'e heard leave it hooked up, and NEVER leave it hooked up when you'r doing this. how do you do it?
The above strategy works great. Play at 75% volume with everything on the deck at zero. Some suggest setting at 85-90% to allow extra room for bass and such.
well i guess my previous question is stupid because the sub has to be hooked up to present the ohm load your setting it up for. right?
and everything set at zero, not in the negatives. got it.. what about bass boost? just don't use it anymore to try and keep a cleaner signal? or set it ware i'll have it b4 i set the gain so it's already accounted for..?
ive been wanting a few different subs. i just cant pull the trigger as most of my audio stuff is back in michigan still. all of the important stuff atleast.....alty, amp, batts
if i did buy - the sub would just sit here until who knows when. no sense in that.
im thinking i might do a tc sounds axis or an audiopulse axis next. not really sure yet. im going to start with a single 12 in a sealed box, firing into the cabin, on 2-3K RMS.
actually you should have the sub hooked up....the load will change the voltage...setting your gain without the sub hooked up (or some resistor of the same load) the voltage will measure fine but actually be higher than you want when you hook up the sub later
i was already a member, so that worked out. thanks for the link tho, that seems like great info.
i checked it before i started and by ear i had it at 59, but now i put it at 54.77 give or take (i couldn't get it exact) with a 50hz tone from fine custom works.
