lowcel Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I've spent most of my time over the past couple of days tuning but I also did a couple of small jobs. The panels on the back were making a little noise and falling off from time to time. I added some Tesa felt tape, some denim insulation, and some deadener to the panels. I also added some insulation and some foam tape to the 2.5's in the dash. The only downside so far is that my led controller decided to burn up. Last but not least I finished up the cover panels behind the rear seat. I do plan on redoing the power distribution in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice way more control and better settings... do you know how to tune tho? have access to an RTA? I know the basics of tuning, that is about it. I'm watching as many videos as I can find and reading as much as I can find as well. I have been using AudioTools with the iMM-6 Dayton microphone with my iPhone. Today I ordered the Dayton UMM-6 microphone and plan on using it with REW. I'll see how I can get it to sound then if necessary try to find someone within a couple hundred miles of me to help me out.

scooter99 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've been seeing the REW word pop up a lot. What is that, can you explain please? I've seen Dough from Soundman do a lot of tuning with the RTA and I kind of get a little bit of what he's doing, but I could never afford an RTA. So I guess it doesn't matter.
