kandiman71874 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 The joys of running active. I personally have spent over 40+ hours tuning by car with various front stages over time. Its time consuming but worth it in the end generally.

arcaudioman Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I'm still running passive, maybe someday I'll make the switch and give it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3vil Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Same here. I'm saving up for my 3-way speakers and amplification, then comes glassing the doors and pillars. Next is selecting a DSP and dealing with a new leveling of tuning hassles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiKaZz74 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I forget who it is bit they just made a mic you can hook to your phone for doing quick rta work. It'll give you a good idea. I can't remember the company tho. It's a good one tho.

It's a good one tho.This http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-imm-6-calibrated-measurement-microphone-for-tablets-iphone-ipad-and-android--390-810And a useful app for phones is the AudioTools app (by Andrew Smith) for ~$10? Has lots of different features for that price including RTA, sig gen, FFT, it has an SPL meter (but I don't think it's good for anything over 120dB) plus a few more good add-ons that can be purchased. I think T-fade did a write up on that app and microphone combo. I'll see if I can find it.
