[QUOTE="Tek18, post: 7576064, member: 637500"] " Setting the subsonic filter (if available): 1) Determine the tuning frequency of your enclosure (if using a sealed enclosure, turn SSF off or to minimum frequency) 2) Calculate the desired SSF frequency by using the formula: SSF = Tuning*3/4 3) If number is not whole, round to the nearest integer 4) Write the SSF frequency down 5) Calculate the desired SSF voltage by using the formula: SSF_Voltage = 0.707*Sub_Voltage 6) Write the SSF voltage down 7) Turn the SSF to the maximum frequency 8) Set track to the SSF frequency and set to repeat track 9) Set to volume written down in speaker setting stage 10) Turn down the frequency on the SSF control until you reach the SSF Voltage from step 6 11) Turn the volume down to 0 Setting the low-pass filter: 1) Turn off the head unit 2) Unhook the multimeter from the sub amp 3) Hook up the speakers and sub(s) 4) Turn the low-pass filter on. If your HU and amp both have LPFs, use the one with the most flexibility (continuously variable > selectable > fixed) 5) Turn the LPF frequency to the minimum frequency 6) Insert music you’re familiar with 7) Turn the volume up to a comfortable level 8) Turn up the LPF frequency until one of the following is true: the sub stage and speaker stage blend perfectly, you can tell the bass is coming from the rear, or the bass starts sounding weird. If the latter two, use the highest setting before audible anomaly. 9) Turn volume down to 0 and turn off head unit " all seem to be by ear, is there a way to set it exact with the DDM? [/QUOTE]
