great video twisted - that was like the down-to-earth version of what a pro would have done. Not saying your not a pro lol - just saying, you just proved the regular Joe can set his gains properly in a matter of minutes. How many years do you think everyone on the BLVD (not experts) have been GUESSING when setting gains? All of them. Period. Name me one person on the street that even busted out an O-scope back in the day. Its very rare. I wanna say its even rare that a stereo shop busts an Oscope out...sorry to say that but its true. The higher end ones might but your average neighborhood "beat shop", probably not.

anyway, cheers on the video bro :drinks:

Only difference is using the speaker side that's IN the amp, your relying on that amp to pass through whatever the HU is inputting to the RCA side.

Thought about it after I watched the video again and it makes sense. Just didn't understand because I saw pca do it a different way. That's good though because there's different ways that accomplish the same thing. Cool cool cool.

James have you used it yet?

These videos keep convincing me more and more to buy one, looks like it's time to start saving some tips

c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old.

i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer.
