damato300x7 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 So I got a DSO 201 Nano. I have a question about what test tones to use to set gain. I am running a 3 way active front stage. Here are my crossover points. Sub - 80hz and under Mid bass - 80hz - 500hz Mid range - 500hz - 5000hz Tweets - 5000hz and up I was going to use the following 40hz for sub 300hz for Mid bass 3000hz for Mid range 7000hz for Tweets This sound correct?

ChevyBoy95 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Sub - 40 Mid bass - 250 Mid range - 1000 Tweets - 5000 that is where i would set the gain at. At the same headunit volume, the lower the frequency the higher the ACV on the output (RCA's), so set it towards the bottom of the range of frequencies. If you set your bass amp with say 50hz @ 0dB and then play a 30hz @ 0dB tone, you will be clipping heavily.

meade916 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 40hz on the lows amps. 1000hz on the high amps. your gain overlaps are up to you but for me -10db on bass, -5db on mids/highs (give or take a db). Use a 0db track on all incoming signals (deck/eq/x-over/linedriver) done. All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

damato300x7 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks guys for the responses. One more question. I am using factory HU going into a 3Sixty.3 should I check the RCA out of the 3Sixty first then go to speaker terminals out of amp? Steve, would 1000hz tone work on the tweet amp being that is playing 5000 and up or adjust the crossover to somewhere under 1000 then set the gain then re-adjust my crossover points?

mrd6 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 You want to defeat your crossovers when tuning the amps. Or you need to make sure you pick a test tone frequency that is not attenuated by your crossover network.
