Anzu Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 When setting the gain on the amp do I turn the low pass filter/subsonic/ high pass filter/ etc all the way down before I start to set it? Or do I have the lpf/hpf/subsonic etc already set to where i want it and THEN set the gain? I'm confused because some tutorials say both. I know i have to have everything to 0 on the HU but I'm talking about the amp in case I was not clear.
soundstream15 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 the real question is, how are you setting your gain?

soundstream15 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 your sub sonic should be set 5hz below tuning of box and low pass filter should be 80hz. with a DMM you cant find out where your head unit clips at so oscope or dd1 is your best option

Just making sure, sorry if it annoys you and thnx for the help.
soundstream15 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 you can do after or before, doesnt matter. just as long as gain is set correctly
ham4864 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 i don't have a o scope or a dd-1 and can get it 90% right. tuning buy ear has been done since the beginning. But if i felt like spending money on the dd-1(but i don't) plus my amps rms is rated more then my speaker. I love steves stuff but that thing is just a tad bit pricey for me. 2009 bmw 5 series Head Unit Stock Amplifier-JL Audio JX 360/4 Processor- Audiocontrol LC6

And tuning by ear is never ok, no matter how much you do it, you CANT hear clipping until it is extremely bad.
