tuning

This one is frustrating. To start off, my setup is a pioneer 1200w amp with two comp c 12" subs in a ported box. my gain is set at 9.10v and my lpf at 80hz. I bought an o-scope because tuning gain by ear is next to impossible. Did everything you should, disconnected my subs, played a 40hz tone...

Me and a buddy just installed a Skar 12 into my 2017 Terrain. Tuned it while parked using an extremely bass heavy song, got it absolutely slamming at 30 volume and I planned to keep that as my max. Then hopped on the road drove around listening to music and that same song made my Lc2i line...

Over the past two weeks I have both installed and uninstalled the Zapco ST-6X DSP six channel amplifier. My access to the amplifier is due to my having installed it (and a companion Zapco ST-2000xmII) in a friend’s car, only to remove it six days later. I’ll try to keep this review objective...

Hey guys- so I have a skar monoblock amp being fed by an LC2i loc, I just upgraded it  recently from a passive loc and I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on tuning this set up. My main issue is that I want to use the bass knob that feeds into the bass boost on my amp since I already have...

I am confused on how you tune an amp and line out converter at the same time. I have an LP7-2 LOC, and R1100M Amp and they both have gain knobs on it. I understand that for each, if tuning by ear, you need to put your radio at 3/4ths volume, play a 40hz test tone, and then turn the gain knobs up...

So I'm going to probably give a lot of unnecessary information but it's because I don't have model numbers at the moment. If they are absolutely needed I can get them. Back story*** I have a system with a kenwood basic head unit, and 2 pioneer 350w subs, and an autotek 1000w amp. The head unit...

Hello, sorry if this is a common problem, I did my best to search for a solution and couldn't find much... but I was also looking for some tuning help on top of it all. So here we go. My setup has been running fine, until I was driving a little further and longer one day and after about a half...

I've always been picky about my sound, and I'm just now starting to really get into car audio. I'd like to learn as much as I can so I can start doing this stuff myself! For now I have a few questions on tuning my current system. I have a Rockford Fosgate powered sub, 300 Watt RMS. I have a...

I just built a box for my alpine swx 1242d. The boxes dimensions are 13.5H x 25W x 15L using 3/4 in. MDF. And I'm putting a slot port in on the left side of the front peice. So my port would be the height of the box. I want to tune it to 24Hz. This is my first time tuning a box and I'm a little...

Okay im simply playing around here and i want to find the tuned frequency of an already built box. I simply have no idea how to rearrange the equation though so if someone better in math than I am could help me, id be happy Can you show me how to solve for Fb? Lv=[23562.5 x Dv^2 x Np/(Fb^2 x...

In my car right now I have two 12" MTX Terminators (from the package deal!). I love these things, and I know they are complete ****, but they were my level one and I loved them. I tried my best to "tune" them but I know for a fact I never really did it like the people on this site did. Here's...

Okay so one of these days i am going to get two 15 in kickers, either the new compS or the 2010 model comp, either way there is no difference except power handling. Now im goig to have it in a sedan trunk in a vented box about 7 cubic foot. I play a variety of music, but most importantly i want...

Looking into using an aero port for the first time and I'm clueless on what size to use for the tuning I want.It's gonna be an 8 cube box (48"W*23"H*18"D)and I'm looking to tune it around 33 hz and was wondering if anyone had any experience with these and could tell me what I needed.Sorry if I'm...

Is this possible with three 10" inch pioneers with the proper port tuning and box? Some songs just don't sound like they should with my current sealed enclosure.

Is there a way to lower the tuning of my sub box port without tearing the box apart. Here are the stats: 29W x 17.5H x 17.5D. It has a 4.5" slot vent thats tuned around 45ish. It has a bend but im not sure how long it is. The box is in my car with the sub still in it. But that doesnt matter...

My first question is What is the proper way to tune my new subs with an oscope. For reference I am soon to be installing 2 sundown 8s and have a sundown saz1500d to power them. I would like to give each sub 500 rms (if that is healthy) and the amp is rated at 1500 rms at 1 ohm. The subs...

so ive had my setup in my 08 civic si with premium sound for about a year and a half now. i have an loc installed where the factory sub used to be. ive went through 3 subs so ive started to do reasearch. ive recently figured out how tune my amp with a dmm. now im wondering if i can check the...

Ok, Well if someone has covered this before, which most likely has happened please inform me. I have recently spent about $1,300 on a car audio system. I purchased an Alpine cda-117, 2 kicker dc12's with an alpine mono block 500w rms amp. I already have 2 infinity 6X9's in the back. It is a...
