i think im gona try and put 2 or 4 behind my grill with matching 10K HIDs in them just for shits and giggles i guess

kx519, I had a brushguard awhile ago with 2 KC daylighters. I sold the lights with the plow. I still have the brushguard and I might be buying 5 more KC's from a friend.

and i dont know how to set the gains with an o-scope. I can do it with a multimeter/dmm,

I will try to find that vid

some fusage..?

some fusage..?

with the oscope you turn your gain up until the tops of the "hills" square off then back off the gain alittle

Meade has a video on setting gains with an o-scope on his channel on youtube. Check it out he explains is really well.

I was figuring out how to use the o scope today. i just had it hooked up to the computer headphone jack from a external speaker to the computer. Would you call this clipping? near the end when i turned on the bass boost. It goes from a good sin wave to a pointy edge,.

Looks to me like you didn't calibrate the scope properly. Do you have a manual for it? I would suggest reading over it until you fully understand how to operate it.

With the o-scope i use,

i plug it into the wall and turn it on.

i connect the scope probe to the cal. hook

the line should be directly in the center, if its not adjust it with the position knobs

if the line is slanted you must adjust the trace level. usually you have to use a small phillips screw driver.

all of the calibration knobs should be turned all the way to the right( this is for the scope i use, may apply for you too)

i always start by setting all the knobs to the center and then working from there

once the scope is calibrated you can go on to checking your headunits max volume before clipping

followed by setting your gains

hope this helps you out a little

that was not clip

Thanks! this helps alot.

But where should i connect the ground when i am calibrating it? And how do you know when it is calibrated? -just when you have a straight flat line on the X axis?
