I wanted to get some input on this. The installer said he tuned my amp by ear. Another person at the shop said he watched him set the amp on the bench without any audio going through it. I was told he didn't tune anything and he just sets amps where he thinks they should be. They wanted to charge me another $75.00 to set it with a scope. Before I dabble in trying to have it set just right check this out and let me know if the installers settings sound right or in the ballpark...
I have a 4 channel amp (Rockford Fosgate Power T600-4) with 2 channels powering a front set of components and the other two channels are bridged to power a sub. On the amp my sub is set to LP. My sub frequency adjustment is turned all the way counterclockwise. If I remember correctly as I turned the frequency clockwise the bass got stronger. The gain is turned up to a little past the half way mark. My front is set to HP. The frequency on this is also turned all the way counter clockwise. If I turn it clockwise the fronts produce less and less bass. The gain is set slightly under the half way mark. In the "Audio" settings of my Pioneer AVH-P3200BT DVD receiver the settings are as follows....
Loudness: OFF
Sub: ON
Sub level: 0
Frequency: 80Hz
Bass Booster: 0
High Pass Filter: 80Hz
Source Level: 0
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
