I have owned 2 Boston Acoustic Subs. I spoke with their techs both times I built my box and they told me samething both times. For SQ build a sealed box, as close to their recommended specs. as possible. Not to vary by more than + or - .3 cu. ft from what they recommend, and to use 1 lb. of...

I have a Alpine CDA-7840 HU, connected to alpine an Alpine ERA-G320 Sound Field Processor through Alpines Ai-net. I want to set my gains using an oscilloscope. My 1st question is, does the Ai-net provide an unclipped waveform at full volume on HU? 2nd question if the Ai-net does not provide...

Yeah, I saw the Vellemans on ebay to, I'd be interested in if those would serve the purpose too. From the shot of the Velleman display screens I've seen it looks like it might be hard to determine just when clipping is starting. I don't know as this is true because it is hard to tell without...

I want to buy an RTA, I was wondering anyone is familiar with the Phonic paa2 and paa3. Are they accurate? I know Audio Control RTA's are real good. How do the Phonic RTA's compare to Audio Control's for accuracy.

I was looking on ebay, and saw Madell 5020 20mhz scope 400v input voltage peak. For $250 new. and also Madell 8016 10mhz for $150( don't know peak input). I know I don't need anything real fancy for setting gains, will either of these work. If not why, and what is minimum specs I should...

If it's not to late, when you take off the door panels, be careful there are clips that pull out and then there are a couple plastic fingers that hook into openings to hold the panel also. You have to lift the panel to get these loose. If just pull the panel you will break these fingers off and...

Fluke meters are good, the more you pay the more accurate the meter will be. Even if you only use it a couple times a year I wouldn't spend less than $100.00 retail for one new. the cheapies aren't worth it they are not accurate. on the other hand i also wouldn't spend more than $150.00 on...

ok, thanks I had heard it was rough on the speakers also.

Can you tell me why?

Should the speakers be connected when setting amp gain using a scope? I would assume it would be better if they were because you would be measuring the amp under actual load. To hook up ths scope with the speakers connected I assume you just go postive lead of scope to psitive speaker terminal...

I want to set the gain on my amp using an oscilloscope, and I was wondering which is better to use a pink noise cd, or a test tone cd? Some people say use pink noise, some say use a test tone. From what I understand with pink noise you get the full audio spectrum recorded at the same level for...
