Brandonbkd Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Is there a cheaper way than going out and buying a dd-1 or oscope?

finkster Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 DDM or set it up ear. No it won't be perfect. No it won't be accurate. That's the risk, but just be smart and you shouldn't hurt anything.

IBleedMusick Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Find someone near you with a DD1 and go visit them to have it done or go to a shop with an OScope and have them tune it for you. 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at that map a while back that shows people near me with that stuff and I think the closest was a few hours away FI BL18 Build Log: CLICK HERE!! 2003 Explorer Sport: FI BL18 SoundQubed 2200 at 0.7ohm Pioneer DEH-2500UI Pioneer 6 x 8s Rockford Fosgate 6 x 9s 5 ft^3 box at 35hz Lots of Mega Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighossf150 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 A nano scope is like $70 on amazon.

I looked at that map a while back that shows people near me with that stuff and I think the closest was a few hours away Then I would look up every reputable shop in your area and find out who has the OScope then go and have it tuned properly. The by ear method does work (for some) but I would not recommend it to anyone who doesn't know what they are doing because it could cost you a lot of money in blown equipment. 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's out of your budget car audio might not be the hobby for you I saw some of those but I didn't know if they'd work well or if they were just a china piece of junk.

TheMonolith2001 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Look up your amp to see if it actually does rated. See if someone bench tested it and posted results or look at your or someone elses birth sheet if they are availible for that amp. Once you have an idea what kind of wattage your amp should be putting out use the DMM method but subtract like 5-10% wattage just to be safe. This is probably as accurate/safe as you can be while being a cheapass. You will probably be able to get a bit more out of the amp with dd1/oscope this way, but not much and its a neccesary sacrifice so you don't blow anything up. You can set gains with a VERY basic oscope. Even a super old one from the 80s or something. Audio stuff is a very basic thing for an oscope. The really expensive ones you see are probably ike 350mhz+ models. You don't even need 1mhz for audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel989 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Make a new thread asking if theirs someone near you that could help you set your gains Cause a lot of people aren't in that map Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
