@meade916 man i wantted your opion on something.i really like subs and the shit they do but would it be fine if i did this. ok ihave 2 15inch kicker CVX subs. im thinking about getting 2 more and put them in another box like i have would it be ok would it hit like hell??
Man I've been following you vids and you are the truth when it comes to car audio. That damn tahoe is bad ass hell man. Your the reason my amps are tuned and sound so good from this vid. Will upload vid soon.
steve, the settings on my 10 inch kicker setup has a bunch knobs to turn using a flat head screw driver and i've been playing with them but the sub doesn't have a crisp sound for the volume level i want. Any ideas how much boost power or gain I should set or high or low input It should have??
what's the name of this o scope? link would be great thanks!!! btw when adjusting gain i know to leave the headunit at flat, but where do i set the lpf before doing this? thanks
iNeed Help, :\ iGot 2 Memphis 6.5 ithink they're 50rms/100 and 2 6x9 Memphis 60rms/120? ithink .. idk but what kind of amp could power these speakers Help Please :( Thanxx
im new to car audio and i was wondering if i hook up a amp to my 6x9 will they just play mids and highs or will it just be really loud i have a subwoofer already and i wanted to have clear mids and highs
Do you have to unplug your speaker from your amp as you're doing this? I'm assuming yes, because I'm using the same oscope and everything and mine is going all over the place when I hook it up to my amp and the speakers are still connected. I haven't tried it without having my speakers hooked up at the same time, I just didn't think it would make a difference.
@gcutler15 yeah there is a reason...i think you stated it in your first question. the advantage is that you can tune your gain on your amp properly so just unhook your speakers lol.
@tokenchoke311 I did that, everything is set up perfectly now. I just found it weird that having the subs attached while the oscope was attached would throw the oscope off.
Ok you just set the amp gain correctly according to your headunit but what about your speakers? what if the amp power is higher than the speakers power?
If the equilizers on the radio were all turned up could it cause the soud to disort or maybe even blow the sub cuz i have a friend that had them all the way up and after a while the sub stoped playing or could it be that the amp wasnt adjusted correctly.
Hey Steve had a quick question about this. I am running a really basic system. Interior off of the deck and a crunch amp putting out maybe 400 watts..when it's struck by lightning. But I have an ossilo and I set it up. Question is this, when it's set to max on the occilo everything is set flat and bass and such at 0. Should I be setting my max volume down a bit to be able to play with the EQ on my pioneer or is it best to just go max clean and leave it flat?
I know you never respond to my questions but I gotta try. What if I don't have a slope scope can I do it with a multimeter and if so what numbers should I look for?
Hey steve I'm kinda new to subs so i understand the highs but what the lows and how do you set gain i have a 300 watt rockford with a 12 inch boston G3
Hey Steve, Steve here. lol. Hey I'm working with a budget system in my daily driver, got pioneer 2 way 5 1/4's and 3 way pioneer 6x8's for highs running off my deck with a pair of Hifonics HF12D4's on a Crunch Pzi 2250. I have an older analog oscillo and was wondering for setting the deck clip I would want to hook to the speaker wire from the deck right then do the sub's the way you showed on here?
Hey Steve, my deck has 2 volt pre-outs; the subwoofer has two separate pre-outs but the manual says its "MONO" NOT Stereo. When I set my input gain should it be at 2 volt or will the two 2 volt RCA's combine to form a 4 volt or 1 volt signal? When I use it on 2 volt setting I have to eliminate Bass Boost completely or I will eventually clip the amp and it shuts off for about 10 seconds and is hot. At 4 volt setting I use the Bass Boost and the amp stays cool never clips. What's best?

Just wanted to say thanks for this how to video, i bought the same scope as you and imported it to norway, works wonders! wish you could make more how to's in the future but i guess the bass fans are more demanding hehe.
@meade916 Steve i got a 72 dodge dart. it only has two 6x9 inch speakers in the back. What 6x9's and amp would you recomend? (I have a 15 in the back and may add 2 more 6x9's in boxes)
dude everyone always wants to be like soemone else when they grow up im 18 and i am a huge fan of car audio especialy SPL well i want to be jsut like u have all the equipment and those rolls of wire lol and the knoledge thanks for all your videos they have thought me alot just one bad thing i go 100% Memphis Audio lol keep posting videos : ) i hope by this year i can have my garage like ur workshop full of wire racks terminals and all the electrical tools
Steve, wouldn't setting with a 5-10dB overlap be beneficial when listening to music? Music isn't a constant -0dB, so to get the most out of the system, 5-10dB overlap would help.
hey anyone who knows a good answer can answer this but this is directed towards Steve. When my friend installed my system in my truck he didnt hook up the capacitor. I only had one alpine type r 12 hooked to a cheap amp. Since then i have found your videos and have become a huge beat enthusiast. Im gettin my second type r in a few weeks. Should i buy a new capacitor since i threw the old one out?
everyone is different about capacitors but i think batterys are better. the only time you really need to add a battery is when your listening to music and your voltage drops below 12v becouse if you dont power your amp right it puts stress on it and it will fry. and if you really think about it all these compotition cars and people like steve dont use capacitors.
Hi.. i know im not steve but he's probably a little bit more busy than i am so here is my 2 cents :)... Any reason you didnt hook up the cap??? how was your voltage without it... 2 type R 12's with a "cheap amp" you may not need any help in that area although it wont hurt, i would say try it out see how your voltage is... if you see obvious dimming upgrade the electrical... either cap, battery or simply the big 3 might work for you... caps are a nice, cheap space saving way to help your bass
Well at the time when we first put it in i knew nothing about systems. I just loved the way it felt and sounded in all my friends rides ya know. And i sold it. I got a kenwood 1500 watt amp for christmas so that replaced my shitty other amp. and idk how to check voltage but if by dimming you mean just when the sub hits turned way up then yes there is dimming but none other than that.
good to hear about the new amp... yes if your lights are dimming when the bass hits you should upgrade in some way... depends what you're looking for...a cap would be a good way to help, small will save you space and might be a nice touch visually to your setup... i personally use batteries but they can get expensive and use up quite a bit of space... the big 3 upgrade will help quite a bit also and relieve some of the stress on the alt but requires a little time, a few tools and some cable..
@darthnater22 useless? why do you think its useless? maybe to you because your dumbass doesnt know what its for.....but to everyone else its a goldmine of USEFULL wire.
@meade916 Goldmine indeed! But more like a copper mine. At least Id hope thats all copper. Alluminum would be pretty useless wire :). Or perhaps do you have silver wire? I hear silver wire is the best you can buy next to platinum (which I dont think they make) but is very expensive.
what about people that make more then you in an entire year in one month by using this wire? you realize what you just said makes you look like a fucking idiot right? Thats like telling a mechanic he dont need all those fucking tools unless he is getting rich fixing cars....LOL DUMBSHIT.
i think its useless because thats enough wire to wire up 200 cars with subs and w/e else you need, and it may be a goldmine to people who spend their whole life hooking up random shit in their car
@meade916 thats true what i would do for just like half of it :) good stuff keep up the hard work i always wonder why people comment crap just wastes i think? good shyte Meade

Btw steve, whats the biggest wire you have on those rolls? I want to use 4/0 to run from my alternator to my battery since they are roughly 15 feet apart :p. Thats like $2k worth of wire easy. I wish I had all that in my garage.
You basically have your own little audio shop there, got everything you need in one place man. Thats hella awsome.
WOW STEVE...oscilloscopes are frickin expensive....that one he has is like 360 bucks and thats a cheap one!! is there any other way to set your gain properly???
@bentboybbz Some companies will have voltage numbers on the gain that display like .5v, 1v, 2v, and so on. You could do it that way if your amp displays them, otherwise you could do it by ear. But this is the best way to do it if you got the money for that little toy. I need to get me one.
my amp is dead :( got power ground remote and rca hooked up and cut a knarled up end off the speaker wire and it landed in a unknown spot between the power and speaker terminals....didnt blow either fuse...comes on but no sound....that will teach me not to have power to the amp before its done being hooked up ;( im going to check it one more time but i think shes done...good thing it was a cheap amp(planet audio vx6005)still sux though
Hey Steve, I had NO idea you could set gains in such an easy but presise way, I've learnt something new fo sure. Steve I need to ask you for advice brother, PLEASE HELP bro :o) P.S.- I will send you a Personal Message with my enquiry, hope you don't mind.
hey man i know you hear it all day everday but wow you have got some great sounding stuff i am have asked you a few time to explain this to me because i know you no after setting the gain setting on the amp what do I do about the bass and hertz level and what about all the setting on the head unit bass trebial hertz all of that i reall would love if you could help me on that
I sooooo want to come work for you dood! You probebly have so many people that do but, I have an undying passion for this stuff... Where you at man? What does a now, jobless data tech have to do? I need to get into this field somehow!!! Anyway, thanks for the vids, you got it goin on. If you ever need a set of good hands with brains to back them, hit this hungry MF up eh?
Steve you said that deck clips at around 59-60 how do you find out when it starts clipping? i know with the o-scope but you just hook it to the speaker outs or what? and i love all your videos.... anyways reply when you can thanks
so after you do that what about the bass setting on the amp and all the setting on the eq of the head unit like mid high low heztz lev and 1w or 1n and all of that
how do you set your gains if you dont have a rockford fosgate amp. i have a Maxxsonics Crunch 1500.1 mono amp. plus can you get the CD for the setting off the rockford site?
so after you do that what about the bass setting on the amp and all the setting on the eq of the head unit like mid high low heztz lev and 1w or 1n and all of that
guessing that amp is playin at just under 100 rms? becuase the voltage was just under 20 volts?
just wondering what rms those powers can handle becuase i have a set and how much excursion they can handle ? mine dont move quite as much as yours there but not too far off, mine are at jus under 100 rms :)
i posted the info on the video since alot of people are askin...TPI - Scope Plus 440 Available @ MobileSolutions-USA. Do ttt kom (have to spell it like that or youtube wont let it thru LOL)
hey steve do you have a shop or do you work out the garage. you make me want to open a shop. i love installing systems, ive dove so many. i actually install radios at work and im a manager at the largest rest. on the riverwalk in san antonio but my heart is in this type of work.
you dont need a 360 disc, you can use anything as long as you have those same tracks or very simalar. Its just RF is one of the few companies that provides it for you if you want it. Also, setting your gains without an o-scope is just guesswork. If you dont have one, you should take your car to someone who does.
well idk nebody who has one plus my amp rca output is fucked up so im screwed and it prly wont matter ne way, i mean it sounds ok now but on sum songs since i use my ipod when i turn the deck up sounds all fuked up and distorted i hate it

Btw steve, whats the biggest wire you have on those rolls? I want to use 4/0 to run from my alternator to my battery since they are roughly 15 feet apart :p. Thats like $2k worth of wire easy. I wish I had all that in my garage.
You basically have your own little audio shop there, got everything you need in one place man. Thats hella awsome.

WOW STEVE...oscilloscopes are frickin expensive....that one he has is like 360 bucks and thats a cheap one!! is there any other way to set your gain properly???
bentboybbz 2 years ago
@bentboybbz Some companies will have voltage numbers on the gain that display like .5v, 1v, 2v, and so on. You could do it that way if your amp displays them, otherwise you could do it by ear. But this is the best way to do it if you got the money for that little toy. I need to get me one.

my amp is dead :( got power ground remote and rca hooked up and cut a knarled up end off the speaker wire and it landed in a unknown spot between the power and speaker terminals....didnt blow either fuse...comes on but no sound....that will teach me not to have power to the amp before its done being hooked up ;( im going to check it one more time but i think shes done...good thing it was a cheap amp(planet audio vx6005)still sux though

timp12345 2 years ago
that was good explanation steve :)
guessing that amp is playin at just under 100 rms? becuase the voltage was just under 20 volts?
just wondering what rms those powers can handle becuase i have a set and how much excursion they can handle ? mine dont move quite as much as yours there but not too far off, mine are at jus under 100 rms :)
cheers steve :) Xx

yeh not everyody has an o scope u should rele show how to set it w/o one & w/o the 360.1 disc
Fl3xV1LL4n09 2 years ago
you dont need a 360 disc, you can use anything as long as you have those same tracks or very simalar. Its just RF is one of the few companies that provides it for you if you want it. Also, setting your gains without an o-scope is just guesswork. If you dont have one, you should take your car to someone who does.
meade916 2 years ago
well idk nebody who has one plus my amp rca output is fucked up so im screwed and it prly wont matter ne way, i mean it sounds ok now but on sum songs since i use my ipod when i turn the deck up sounds all fuked up and distorted i hate it
