[QUOTE="Luve2Fish88, post: 8685252, member: 678119"] Hey guys. For years I've done the tune with a dmm thing with a 50hz 0db test tone. I ran hifonics hfx12d subs and an audiopipe amp. Now that i've got a mmats setup, a good HU and "decent" sounding speakers, i really want to get the most out of my system. Car audio isn't a big thing around me so there aren't many shops who can help and i like learning on my own anyways, so i figured i'd come here. I have two MMATS Procast 12" subs in a sealed box (of proper size) and a MMATS DHC 1400.1 amp. Subs are wired down to 1 ohm. Proper sized wiring, good grounds, etc. The headunit is much more capable than i am. I use wireless android auto mostly. My headunit clips my speakers around 30/40 so i "tuned" my amp at 25/40 volume at 37.42v with the test tone from kicker downloaded to my phone. I feel like i'm not pulling out the full potential from these subs. I just sent them in to MMATS to be rebuilt after the surround on one tore (they're 20 years old) and the voice coil leads on the other blew out on one voice coil. So what do i need to know and what settings in the head unit/ test tone should i use? I mostly listen to hip hop. Any info you guys can give me would be awesome! I can follow directions too lol.
