Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I usually adjust my controls with a screwdriver, I must have been doing it wrong. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Miguels Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Its impossible. You can't do it the old school way without the other kids teasing you. just because its old school it dont mean its the right way.. new age new technology with more advances.. this isnt the old days when whatever tool was better than nothing if you have a surgery do you want the doctors to use 1800's technology or the high tech they have now? hey, its old school so it should be okay my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3vil Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I think this argument is more about precision. Yes you can dial an amp in with DMM, or even your ears if you wanna be truly old school. However, with newer technology and measurement devices you can be more precise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Sh0t Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 IMO he can set them by ear so he can learn what to listen for now, mistakes are made with precision tools all the time. Dont make any sense to buy a $150 tool to tune a $70 amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x infektid x Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 honestly look it up . im sure u have and then either didnt get what they were saying or the procedure.. using a dmm is a god way BUt you also have to make sure your electrical is up to it. what amp. i see the sub what type of car or truck what type of box premade or made. some of these would be good to know. or use a dd1 if you have aces to one.. i have one. used it for about 10 min now sitting in my useless closet til i change something.. its costly. but also showed me that i was off also using the 'old school way ' of adjusting.. it did its job . as a tip. do NOT go by the numbers on the radio.. 9 my issues) also do NOT go by " my amp is half way up and i think i need more " some amps are half up some are way down some are wide the fuck open .. it depends on your head unit AND the source thast its using.. dont dload music from say you tube and expect it to be of high quality . some are but most arent db wise.. actually use a store bought cd or a ripped from a store bought to do the adjusting.. even if its a song that you don't like or normally listen to . look for dynamic range . use that as a base and go from there.. using a dmm to set your amp to max rms may be a setup for failer as ,like before if electrical cant keep up. voltage is going to sag and so then does wattage .. theres a lot of other stuff but this will get you started if my ears dont buzz. you need more ..
