I wouldn't recommend setting your high pass filtering on the bass amplifier at 31hz. You should set it at 40hz. It will still play frequencies under 40hz but just not quite as loud which will make the bass sound more accurate around 20-45hz. As well, keep the bass boost off.
What would you do if you are setting the crossovers for a set of 3 way component speakers using the passive crossovers that come with the speakers. Eventually im going to go full active but for now im just using the passive crossover
Man this is a great video. I’ve watched a lot of Steve’s videos and I don’t remember him ever showing how to sit the sub sonic, but I guess it was simple enough, but thanks for showing us we really appreciate the knowledge.
Your vids is clear explanation steve need to use his own smd to make his explanation clear about how to use his equipment Thumbs up to you, steve should sponsor you for giving such clear explanation of how to use his equipment
Ok I just ordered a combo package of the DD-1 and CC-1 to tune my new deafbonce AAK 6k and JP 34AB I've never tuned an amp before let alone multiple amps and done crossover I didn't think about it when I ordered it but how do you tune it with the provided CD if you are using a stock head unit with NO CD player can I just play the required test tone through my phone or how do I do this
@@SleepyBoiii ok I downloaded them please excuse my ignorance I'm still learning but I wanted to ask you when you were setting your crossover you said something about the tweeters playing up to 2K Hz but you set it at 2.5K is that how I need to set it up with the track based on the speaker parameters
@sleepyboiii whats that ds18 full range amp doing in your system? you have the 4 channel and the mono block for mids / highs and sub, whats the ds18 doing?
So when I was doing my bass amp I couldn't get it to read the crossover till 40hrz , tried 31 and turned lpf all the way down and nothing so then I tried 35 and same nothing but on 40hrz it worked is this normal? I did exactly how you did it but only 3 overlap not 5 lol like you .
I just ordered the CC1. had no idea the dials on an amp can't be trusted. my buddy just did this and where the dial said it was set at 200hz the cc1 said it was 80hz. his sounds so much better. if we lived in the same state I could've used his cc1. lol
@@HG-NLINE honestly, if you have the ability to filter the signal coming into the amplifier that is best, then the amplifier only has to concentrate on power and amplifying the selected frequencies. Never use both. Either use one or the other.
Make sure you you a little higher frequency that your speaker can handle, use a slope at the headunit once you set the crossovers at your amp. Check the specs of your speakers. It shows you the frequency range it can produce
what tools can we get to help with setting rms or wattage. i have a more powerful amp for a weaker speaker. i dont want it that high. is there a tool to help with rms or wattage power and for adjustments?
This depends on a lot of factors is the enclosure the smaller then recommended size is it larger if it’s a smaller enclosure you can safely overpower the sub if it’s larger you want to under power for longevity however if the gains are set right you shouldn’t blow anything I have a t1500.1bdcp (dyno shows 1800w at 14.4v) on a t1d212 (800w sub) wired at 1ohm gains set with dd1 and oscilloscope no clipping and you should be good, how much more wattage is your amp then your sub? Also is it RMS wattage or max wattage that your looking at? What sub what amp you running? If you would like to hit me up on Facebook or IG R & E builds I can help you further
@@robertfarley9437 I have the same problem with dialing in the correct amount of gain on a set of low powered subwoofers. I want to install two, Tang Band - W5-1138SMF 5 1/4" 4-Ohm SVC Subwoofers (45 watts RMS each) wired @ 2-Ohm on a Skar Audio - RP-1200.1D amplifier that produces 800 watts @ 2-Ohm. How do I dial down my amplifier to ruffly 100 watts so I do not blow my small 5 1/4" subwoofers?

Do you have use the cc1 after you use the dd1 or can you use only one in case you don’t have the other one?

No problem! I tried my best. Hope it helps many more.

You can use the test tones that he provides on his website

Do a video of syncing it with the head unit bro that’ll be a hit !

if i have speakers that do 42 - 20,000 Hz what should i set my HPF too ?
I would set the hpf to 50hz or even 60hz to be on the safe side. But also depends on your slope as well.
80hz with the slope it can come all the way down to 50hz
What about components. Could you help me with that. They say they play at 12,400 frequency.

Yes you could be way off without the cc1! Helpful tool
🔥 straight awesome 👏 video
Orale homeboy gud job very easy to understand I'm both videos 😎
Apprecite It 💯 Hope It Helped !
What volume does head unit need to be please and thanks
To your maximum undistorted volume..
Noce
Bro you explain y better than meade916
Hopefully i did haha i was confused by his vids too.. Tried my best to explain it well

If I have my sub amp set to low pass 100hz and gain to half. Do I still use the low pass filter on the head unit at 100hz with -18db slope
I cant tell you about the gain because every amp/system is different.. But i would also set my lpf on headunit as well
Sleepy Boiii so if I set the LP on amp to 100hz do the same on head unit at 100hz slope at -18db is this right?
Yes at -18 db slope or any slope you would like, depends how you want to roll off your crossover
Do you think setting the crossovers on the headunit and amp is overkill?
No not at all, because on your headunit you can also set your slopes after you set them at your amp.
@@SleepyBoiii Thank you i was thinking the same thing i appreciate it.

Make sure you you a little higher frequency that your speaker can handle, use a slope at the headunit once you set the crossovers at your amp. Check the specs of your speakers. It shows you the frequency range it can produce
@@SleepyBoiii I have a skar sk 100.4 ab. Do I set it to hi pass ,full or low pass. I have spx-65c on crossovers. And components
@@KIDROCKABILLY1 since you are using speakers always use HPF For speakers.
@@SleepyBoiii Sorry I was saying I have components in the front and coaxial speakers in the back. Thanks for the replies and videos. I Subscribed
@@SleepyBoiii when using the cc1 with hpf I am not able to get signal to calibrate. Only lpf
