How about a tool that can tell what -db a track is???


Recommended Posts

Wire it to the RCA outputs on your head unit. Would only work at "full tilt" though

Ya, that sounds like a pain. I was hoping for a cool digital read out with -db on the screen would be badass. Like it could be detected no matter what the volume is.

Sounds like the OM-1.

Digital display won't work as music is too dynamic but the analog display on the OM-1 should work for this.

Sounds like you need an o-scope in your dash........

:peepwall:

Hey, tony keeps coming out with cool stuff all the time. I have no idea it it's something that would be hard to detect or display. And for all I know it would be something the deck would have to detect.

I hear what you're saying, same reason why I put an o-scope in my dash to look for the same thing. ;)

Make it affordable and show me how, I'd do it.

Check my build log.

My o-scope was only about ~$50 or so, plus it needs a resistor divider network to reduce the voltage from the amp.

Tapping into the RCA's might be easier.

It won't be affordable. Fly him out, buy the proper equipment and tools, pay labor (that part is cheap), fly him back. Lookin at about 2 grand sir.

EEEEK!!!! that's not cheap. Is he flying southwest?? Are you talking about flying out Wicks or Tony? Cause I'm about 4miles from Tony's shop

Tapping RCA's was what I was thinking might be possible

People on this forum keep making me wanna try stuff cause they put the knowledge out there. I will look at your build log and look for this. I just looked at your build, I have no idea how I didn't go through the whole build. I will check it all out tomorrow when the sun is up. to much vodka to read right now :)

I was talking about Wicks lol.

Would put him on southwest. $125 each way :)

HAHA, I'm a few vodkas deep myself. Gotta get that tolerance up for tomorrow night :drinks:

My o-scope is connected to my DC5K so I can see directly what the subs see.

Monitoring the RCAs would be easier but there's always that possibility that the amp(s) are also clipping the signal (for whatever reason) so you might miss something.
