[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8399805, member: 576029"] It's important to keep background noise at a minimum during measurements. you also need a good source for correlated and uncorrelated pink noise. Autosound2000 disc 102 is my main resource. It's also important to note that mic placement has a large impact on which room modes you measure. when you leaving the microphone in a fixed position you will observe peaks and valleys that are the results of phase interference and / or cabin modes. you cannot fix those with an eq. when possible, I will move the microphone in a figure 8 pattern in front of my face while sitting in the driver's seat. the challenge here is that you need to control the laptop. And we don't like having the laptop in the car because it makes noise and you will measure the laptop fan. I always take background noise measurements first. then I adjust the level of the sound system so that I am at least 10 decibels above background noise at any point in the spectrum. [/QUOTE]
