CJ18 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Steve if you can help me understand the eq, I am in love! I came back out and wired it back up and set the crossovers like you said and DAMN! awesome! the EQ is going to be on you though. I can't predict how your car is going to act. Do you have access to an RTA? Thats not the ONLY thing you need to do but its a good start. play pink noise while running the RTA. Mute everything but the channels you want to test. Don't play it too loud because pink noise isn't the best thing for speakers at high volumes. Play it just loud enough to get a good reading. Then, while it is playing, you look at the RTA and spot your peaks and valleys. Try to cut as much as you can and avoid adding. Sometimes you have to add a little but do it just enough to make it better, don't go out of your way to flatten it completely out or it won't sound very good. Once you have the peaks and valleys smoothed out, it will already be MUCH better. Depending on your goals for the system, you might want to leave it like that as it will sound good already but if you are thinking you want more SQ, its time to move to time alignment. I can't tell you where to put it because i am not there. You can use the Iasca disc for reference as well as songs you know (how they are supposed to sound) and start adjusting the sliders a little bit where needed. Now there are things a true SQ vet looks for, that i am not qualified to tell you to look for yet. I am not a pro at this......but what ive told you is a good start. I will probably just leave it as is. It sounds amazing. It really cleaned up the sound. Now I ust have to swap out my cheap RCAs for some much nicer, shielded ones to hopefully eliminate as much of the static as I can. THANKS! if you can, at least try to score an RTA. If you like it now, wait till you smooth it out some. Would the RTA available for my Termlab work? http://www.termpro.com/store/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=12&cat=Optional+Accessories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
