[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 425359, member: 544843"] okay! i tried the 50hz sine wave through an ipod with exciting results, however, i need to get opinions here if this is a good idea before i burn the sines to a CD. [URL="http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/Input_Sensitivity/Input_Sensitivity.html"]http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/Input_Sensitivity/Input_Sensitivity.html[/URL] this is a very easy to understand flash tutorial on JL audio's site, but i wanna know if this procedure applies to all amp brands, as long as i follow that math. i have JL subs, but a phoenix gold amp. my amp documentation says "@ 14.4 Vdc" for pretty much all settings (i have them bridged of course). so i double that and get 28.8. this is what i should try to match, right? problem is the only ac meter i have is analog, so i'm gonna borrow or pick up a digital soon. i tested today at 45 volume (46.5 is 3/4 of max on my HU, close enough). i had all EQ and stuff off, 80hz crossover (110 on the amp to cover for what the HU misses), and aux SLA at +4 (for some reason aux input is pretty weak-- this issue will be moot when i config with the burned CD, since i have my CD SLA at 0). i also had amp output at +6. this is what im wondering about. if i set the gain with the HU sub output at 0, and then decide i want more bass for some song, arent i going to end up knocking the speaker output to over the 28.8 safe mark? wouldnt it be better to set gain with sub output at max (+6) and then knock it down for the thunderous songs? interested to hear ideas. =) thanks. EDIT: i have a sound studio program that can create sine waves at 0dB, which i can then save and burn. making a 5 minute sine wave track is preferable to looping one of those mp3s over and over. is this a good way to set gain? i've never heard of it on these forums but yet isnt this more or less what you do in pro audio installation? if you don't have a wave meter thing? let me know if it's a huge waste of time. ;D [/QUOTE]
