reedal Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Why would you need an oscillator? The 75% rule is pointless, as well as setting with a DMM, because you don’t know where the HU’s or amp’s distortion/clipping points are at. Like I said in my previous post, find someone using the SMD tool map linked in my signature close by to you and see if you can meet with them for their DD-1 or oscope and get it done the proper way instead of the guessing way SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I seen one for like 400 or 500 somewhere. . I'll do some research..maybe I can snag one. Gonna have to spend 80 to 100 bucks to get some goof to tune it at a car audio store. Might as well drop another 100 so I always have a tool on me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy 8s Drums Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 IMO, they cost too much for what they do, but if you are wanting to get the most out of your system and are going to be changing stuff out frequently (which often seems to be the case) they may be a good value. You can also offer tuning services to your friends and neighbors and maybe get some of your money back. The DD-1 and an OM-1 might make good sense for you. https://www.audiofanaticz.com/smd-tools/smd-distortion-detector-dd-1 and the OM-1 https://www.audiofanaticz.com/smd-meters/smd-output-meter-smd-om-1 Neither will help you much in adjusting crossovers but I would say that using your ears and patiently trying different settings may be the best way for you.

reedal Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Good investment choice then you can have your username added to the tool map if you’re willing and maybe someone local to you can slide a few bucks your way when they need their gains set properly SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
