14dbass Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Turn the knobs lol... Or You can use an o-scope or take it to a shop that tunes with a scope. Actually I have a dd-1 you can use if you want to drive here I am in northern utah like just over an hour and a half north from you. I could meet you half way and we can tune your system and bump some bass if you want.

HatersGonnaHate Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 ^^^ O-scope and test tones would be your best bet.

Any idea how to do it by ear?

HatersGonnaHate Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 If you've got a dmm, there are write ups on how to do it based off of the speaker output voltage on the amp. Just google it, chances are that it'll bring you right back to this website :-) if I wasn't mobile, I'd provide a link.

14dbass Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) So you put in a system but you can't even drive it? That sucks... Ya hit me up sometime. There is not really another good way to do it. The best way other then a o-scope or DD-1 would be with a Digital Multimeter but that is not going to be as accurate and you could still have clipping. It is basically imposable by ear. You will not be able to hear clipping or distortion tell it is really bad. Ninja'd and I did not even put up the link ether Edited January 15, 2012 by 14dbass Quote Suburban Build Log "So much money and time spent making copper winding move up and down a magnetic pole" DC Audio Eclipse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 i heard the clipping on subs when i use the tones that come with the CD, when i was tuning mine i would actually hear the clipping on my subs when the light would turn on on my dd-1 Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to know what you are listening for. Just go to a shop, they are going to know what they are doing. Everyone talks crap about shops but if they are in business they might be at least doing something right. lol Normally shops have the equipment to tune amps. Also the shop near me is really cool. They are a DC dealer and have a DD-1 along with a couple of O-Scopes. They are down with SMD too. haha WINNING Edited January 15, 2012 by FroznBeavrBALLs Quote 2 DC 12" lvl 4s 1 DC 1.2k XS Power S3400 big 3 Alll KNU wire Pioneer HU cheapo Legacy coaxes (just for now) http://www.stevemead...n-sentra-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twostrokeking Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Think imma try the DMM! Question what you do the voltage squared whatever it is lol, do you do it by the watts per channel or total?

HatersGonnaHate Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Per channel I believe... If any doubts, tune it to a few volts below what the recommended rms is, just to be safe. That's what I did till I got my dd-1 Quote My name is AdamThis is my Civic Build.7" Samsung Tab 2Kenwood KDC-X896Clarion EQS746Sundown X-15DC 3.5k @2ohmHatersGonnaHate's 02 Civic UBLELD Bypass for Honda Civic/Accord/FitDon's Jeep Grand Cherokee Rebuild N8ball2013 - i think you'd stick your dick in a blender if it told you it was 40 wtih two kids your age. lol srp365 - If posting were picking up bitches, I'd be going home single tonight looks like tony montana sneezed in your car.
