[/COLOR]Aaaaalright, pretty big update. Finally got all my tools to test and tune, including this guy:
So I scoped my HU first. Did all three pre-outs. Got some weird things on the high (tweeter) channel. It wasn't clipping, but above 52/62, I got distortion at the peaks of the waves. I can't figure out how to get pictures on the scope off of it yet, but it looked like this:
@keep_hope_alive or
@maylar can you help me interpret that?
But the mid channel never clipped or got distorted. The sub channel had no clipping at 60/62, but hard clipping at 61/62. I set all gains at 51/62 because of the distortion I was seeing on the tweeter channels.
So then I set my gains. EQ was flat, so I sent 110W to each mid, and 70W to each tweeter. I'm sending about 4500W at 0dB (which is about 2300W at -3dB) to the subs. Then I ran the auto T/A and EQ on the 80PRS. It does a couple things that you have to go back and look for, like sub LPF and mid HPF and slopes.
When you're looking at these RTA graphs, pay attention to the blue top lines. those are the peaks, and the results from the sweep. I took these pictures after the sweep was done, at volume 0, which is why the red bars are so low.
So, first I RTA'd the low end, ran a 20-250Hz sweep. Got this:
Kinda don't know why I did that. I then ran a 2 minute 20-20kHz sweep. This is the result:
Determined that the sweep was way too fast for the mic/software to pick up on the lower end. So then I cleared the RTA, broke it down, and ran a 90 second 20-1500Hz sweep. Then I kept the results, and ran a 90 second 1000-20000Hz sweep. This gave me accurate results across the whole range, that look like this:
I just need to cut at 1kHz and 2kHz, and I should be sounding pretty good. It already sounds great, and the cool thing is I can hear the peaks at 1k and 2k.
Here's a quick video:
