ccrider540 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 alright so i am planning on setting my gains with a multi meter once i install everything and then take it to a shop to have them fine tune everything... now the only problem is the two local shops that are like 5 mins from me do all of the tuning by ear and there is a shop about 40 mins from me that uses an o-scope. what should i do?

moh.vze.com Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I paid about $200 for an oscope to use it only a couple of times. The thing is now in my room collecting dust There is no such thing as tuning shit by ear! But I agree with just using a DMM to calculate the power and tune it to that and just lower the gain a tiny bit =] Or use magic ears to turn the gain up to get the most out of it Quote DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrezgonz Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 well its tough because sometimes i find that tunning by ear if they have been doing it for years may sometimes be better that with the oscope but the oscope does get you right on the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of your amps much like a tattoo you might get. If the artist you go to uses top of the line tattoo machines is this person going to produce top of the line artwork...Maybe. Are you going to take your chances on maybes? I would find an installer that is WELL known for there professional skills, make sure they are who they say there are and do a little research. Then just take your shit in for tuning. Let them do what they do and if they ear tune it, who care as long as everything sound clean. If you want check out Ray from Audio Innovation on here this guy knows his shit... find a person like that to tune your amps! Quote HU: Kenwood KDC-MP745U.
