    Out of all the videos I watched so far, yours is the only one that shows an example of distortion. I’m new to car audio and I thank you for this.

    This video was very helpful to me as I'm not trying to buy a $200 tool that I will use one time. Thank you.

    This amp works good with gains maxed out on a 3rd gen Tacoma. Installed it behind factory head. Hertz 6x9 front, factory rear and 12” powered Rockford sub. If you need more volume out of the front stage, bridge it and run it two channels or buy a bigger amp.

      Yep, still trying to keep up with my weekly schedule but life's a little crazy at the moment. Sadly my E39 is long gone, but there will be another BMW in the future and I still have my E23 too. Thank you for the support!

    Why would you use a 40 hz test tone for mid drivers ? Usuaally use a 500-1K hz test tone

    Thanks for the help. just a heads up, u didnt mention anything about tuning full range speakers, ive a couple of 6x8’s i did the excact same as u only to discover that i basically had no bass or mid range, so i set the filter to off and it fixed it, my sound is superclean now, idk if thats what i was supposed to do or if thats only me but it helped alot.

    Great video! Any tips for doing this process on a subwoofer amp? I would guess it might be harder to detect the distortion in a bass signal by ear. I have a self-contained powered subwoofer so I cannot access the output side of the amp to use any kind of meter on which means I need to resort to setting the gain by ear.

    this amp allows you to connect power/ground to the radio harness is this what you did or did you go directly to the battery?

    Really nice video. I have a question if you could answer. I have a kenwood excelon dmx 706s with 4 infinity kappa 62IX power by Kenwood XR401-4 channel amp and doesn’t sound as clear i was expected like too much bass over clarity. How should i tune up my amp? Should I use the x’over before tuning the amp or after? I’m all confused 🫤

    so for mid range speakers that start from 70 hz (alpine s65c) I need to do the test with a for example a 90 hz test tone?

      40 Hz is what is typically recommended and what my friends in car audio use.

    But why tune it at 75% vol. Shouldn’t it be at max volume so that you can play at max volume with no distortion?

    • @sikkidesmet
      @sikkidesmet ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Its possible that you are clipping the head unit at max volume. 75% is just a safe zone before distortion

    Where are you have your amp, isn’t that a bad spot especially if you have a knee airbag and if you get into an accident.

      Nope. There is no knee airbag on this truck and there is plenty of air flow, away from any heater ducts.
