[QUOTE="johnnyyukon, post: 8660516, member: 675688"] So I just installed a 12" Kicker CompVR 43CVR122 in a 1.8 cu. ft. ported box with a 500 RMS amp. It's not winning any trophies, but I love it, oh god how I've missed that bass......anyway.... So I'd like to analyze the speakers (focus on sub). I have a Macbook Pro (no PC :( but do have Parallels) and a lot of microphones but probably not a specific car audio measurement mic, nor am I going to get one. I've got just about every audio plugin, metering, izotope, spectrograms/graphs, sound fields, Waves, Levels, Loudness, etc. I used a omnidirectional mic (samson gomic) to record a variety of test tones and songs (I like rap, deep bass electric). Seems, just by ear, there's some clipping at 30HZ, And I'm confused at what to adjust: Level (most obvious), Bass Boost, Subsonic (15HZ-55Hz), LP (50HZ-250Hz). Maybe this is a lot to ask in one thread, but basically trying to tune the sub for max power and these are the tools I have. I also have other mics (Samson Meteor Mic, one came with car receiver, etc.) Now, maybe these mics all **** for this purpose and maybe recording and analyzing audio isnt' even necessary but I guess that's why I'm posting. I will say I'm definitely interested in the analyzing part if for nothing but curiosity. Ok, out, thanks. [/QUOTE]
