hdrox88 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thinking about getting an o-scope so I can set my gains the right way. I have never messed with one, so I have no idea what to look for. I already have a nice DMM, so I just want a scope for...well, you know. I found this on ebay but like I said I have no idea what to look for. Any suggestions? Don't want to spend more than about $200 right now. Should I save for a little while?

Boon Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The little Velleman's are fine for setting gains and the like. Decent value for money right there. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdrox88 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I just noticed the scope I linked only has one probe. That means that one wont work for setting gains? No pos. AND neg. terminals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to read up on scopes a bit You put the probe on positive then the o-scope's ground clip on negative. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanz Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) but i read that these only get to like 2 ohms? is ther one that does 1 ohms and up? Edited August 15, 2009 by Beanz Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

I didn't think that mattered cause it is used to match the gain(input sensitivity) to the signal coming from the HU. Once the gain is set correctly then the impedance shouldn't make the amp clip or not right? Or am I way off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when did we measure ohms with an o-scope... Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
