Jessica Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 What the hell is going on in here? There is no way to set gains with a multimeter. Voltage don't mean shit without knowing the resistance. Hell i could get 26v off a 50X4 amp with a multimeter. look at the chart i am going to post and tell me how fraking accurate is that? You might as well set by ear if you are going to use a multimeter alone. I'm not telling you to buy a dd-1 or a o-scope, people set gains by ears all the time, not everyone blows shit up. But if you want to do it right you have two options. dd-1 or o-scope Like i said, just hooking a MM to an amp with no speakers won't tell you much, even with the speakers hooked up you don't know what ohm load your amp is seeing because of rise, and even with a clamp meter you can't account for phase angle, so that doesnt help much either. You can get close, but try tuning a boss 1400 watt amp to rated power with a MM and see where that gets you. SMH Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Raptorman Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Eric I have always set by multimeter ever since I got into car audio and it has alway done me great. Up until I had my amps dd-1'd they were set by multimeter and I was only .9v under where the dd-1 detected distortion. I don't know how the shit works but it does, and yes I know it isn't the most accurate thing. 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

Jessica Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well, i could be wrong, but I just don't see it working on crappy overrated amps. Does that make any sense?
