So I just installed a 12" Kicker CompVR 43CVR122 in a 1.8 cu. ft. ported box with a 500 RMS amp.
It's not winning any trophies, but I love it, oh god how I've missed that bass......anyway....
So I'd like to analyze the speakers (focus on sub). I have a Macbook Pro (no PC
but do have Parallels) and a lot of microphones but probably not a specific car audio measurement mic, nor am I going to get one.
I've got just about every audio plugin, metering, izotope, spectrograms/graphs, sound fields, Waves, Levels, Loudness, etc.
I used a omnidirectional mic (samson gomic) to record a variety of test tones and songs (I like rap, deep bass electric). Seems, just by ear, there's some clipping at 30HZ, And I'm confused at what to adjust: Level (most obvious), Bass Boost, Subsonic (15HZ-55Hz), LP (50HZ-250Hz).
Maybe this is a lot to ask in one thread, but basically trying to tune the sub for max power and these are the tools I have. I also have other mics (Samson Meteor Mic, one came with car receiver, etc.)
Now, maybe these mics all **** for this purpose and maybe recording and analyzing audio isnt' even necessary but I guess that's why I'm posting. I will say I'm definitely interested in the analyzing part if for nothing but curiosity.
Ok, out, thanks.
