Juice0723 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hey guys, I am going to get my system metered on Saturday. Just wanted some tips on what I should do. First time getting it metered. I was thinking of playing a sweep or test tones and music. Not to sure, just want to get the highest number possible. And I'm probably going to put my subs facing forward before I go. And seal it off from the trunk.

Boon Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 If they let you have plenty of time, put the headunit to a fairly high volume and run a sweep or 2, make sure you cover the frequencies from 30-80hz. Then using the peak hold and numeric data options in Termlab find your peak frequency, bump the volume up a bit and play a tone at that frequency. Keep turning up the volume, when you stop gaining you've hit major clipping. Eeeh that's a very simple way of putting it ;/ Don't do too many burps in a row, even with the engine running you'll start draining the battery, give it a few burps/sweeps/whatever then give it a couple of minutes for the components to cool down and the voltage to recover a bit.

Thanks for the info. I don't think its a termlab though. Might be a AC meter. Does that one show the hz? Or does the old termlab show it? I have no clue what type of meter it is. I think it is a AC, but I never seen it yet.

Juice0723 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 And what side should the port be on? I'm thinking drivers side. Front will be facing into the cabin.
