Okay so how do we set the gains if we cant spare $450 for an osillo scope such as the one you are using ? Id rather buy another amp or sub with that money lol i dont make much money but i love car audio !

By the way you are fucking awesome your builds are an inspiration to 99% of us car audio fiends !

@SDUndisputed as a matter of fact, you can buy a new product we released in July called the SMD Distortion Detector DD-1. Google it or search youtube...its all over the place. $149

My question is.. when you are done tuning, and then turn the subwoofer control on the deck back up, it exceeds the target voltage you just reached... I use a DMM, and found the right gain, but am I supposed to leave the sub setting to '0' on the deck afterwards? because if I don't, I will be much higher than the target voltage and may lead to a square wave without audible distortion

nice vid i got my amp at thw proper voltage but i was wondering how would i do it wit a epicenter hooked up to it wat should i do

[mkvy]

Every day i would turn my stereo on and it would sound different, the bass one day was good, other days not.... I checked everything... Ground points, oscilloscoped all lines.... Nothing.... Well, it was my subs not bolted down properly, over the year the allen keys had shaken lose... And probably after contruction the mdf had compressed.... Critical and thats why my bass response was missing... The low frequencies were leaking out,....

@meade916 is there anything you cant do with stereos ? i just checked it out and that seems su much simpler than an o scope and easier on my tight ass wallet lolz , thanks for the reply bro your awesome !!!!!!!
