A couple local guys say they can tune there amps my ear 100% distortion free. They think a dd-1 or o scope is a waste of money. I want to know if it is posible for the ear to pick up every bit of distortion. Here is link to the convo. The convo is the comments on the black sub box with 50+ comments.

Setting by ear never works. I remember not being satisfied with my system for a while because I set it by ear. I was constantly stopping, pulling over and trying to re tune it. It just never worked by ear. After I learned how to calculate how much voltage I should be using and started using my multimeter I felt a lot better, my system sounded better and my system was definitely louder. I just got my dd-1 and cc-1 in the mail today and can't wait to give them a try and see what improvements I notice. Too bad I don't have a legit meter so I can have a before and after measurements.

Yeah, I know that feeling of having to re-tune the amp over and over again, it gets really annoying. I'm gonna see if my teacher will let me borrow his digital multimeter, and see if that'll make a difference for me.

I'm pretty sure it will. It's the best affordable option until you get a dd-1. Multimeters aren't that expensive though. I think you could buy one for about 5 bucks.

    Chris Shaffer He's not loud just plays low bass and shakes stuff. If it was really loud he wouldn't be running a flip out in the dash it would be on a cord standing outside the drivers door. I've built loud where the cd player in the dash flew apart and landed on the passenger floor. That's loud! An Isuzu Amigo with 4 pb 2xl 15s on a pb xa4000.
