What do i need for termlab testing? and tuning


Recommended Posts

Ok I'm going to a shop for 35$ for a half hour on the termlab

Anything I should bring? I got a 20-60 hz sine sweep and 20-120hz sine sweep. and various test tones and music.

Anything else?

How do I tune my amp with it? help! im goin at like 4 pm and its 11 am right now

Do I just play my test tone that I tuned my amp with, and just turn it up until it starts to clip then back down a little?

play a sweep at 3/4 max volume. Then make not of the peak frequency.

Then let subs cool and batts charge for a good minute.

Then pay just that peak tone at full volume.

Try different settings after the initial test to see if you have a change.

Do shops have a cd to play or do you need to make/bring one? Been curious about getting mine on a TL as well just to see.

When I went and got metered, the shop brought out their own CD and I told them it wasn't necessary since I had my own sweeps on my iPod. All shops are different, I say just bring a sweep, and a few tones just in case they do not have a CD. They will more than likely have a test CD though if they offer TL test.
