Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 7534 Registered: Jul-06 | Speakers can NOT be connected. You need to use a test tone not a song. All EQ and other features on the HU have to be off or zeroed. DMM on AC volts. And just use the calculator. |

Silver Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 927 Registered: Aug-06 | ok thanx.... the bass and treble and loudness off on cd player too right? and use the calculator for what |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 931 Registered: Aug-06 | and once u set it then can you turn your bass treble and loudness back on? and why does he say use a 50hz test tone? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 7540 Registered: Jul-06 | Increasing bass makes clipping possible so just don't do that with bass makanik or something like that playing. The tone doesn't have to be 50 hz but that is what I use. Loudness = terrible EQ curve, why would you want that. |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 933 Registered: Aug-06 | so put the 50hz test tone on without any sound playing and just set the gain like that ? and idk i just was asking just to know what all had to be turned off. but why does it matter that u use a test tone not a song? |

Bronze Member Username: Vivi2000Post Number: 29 Registered: Aug-07 | If you use a song the frequency changes, and also it is not a constant stream of music. With a test tone it is just that frequency(50 hz in this case) played constantly for however long it is. You need to turn off all the bass boost because that causes distortion, and set your EQ to 0 for everything too. And if you cant get to the target voltage it may just be that the amp is overrated, dont use bass boost or stuff like that to try to get it up to the target because you will just end up ruining the speaker or amp. |

Bronze Member Username: Fish5IN Post Number: 37 Registered: May-07 | so you unhook the speakers from the amp and then test it? |

Silver Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 934 Registered: Aug-06 | ok thanx i understand hwy u use a test tone now. ok and what about the bass boost on the amp? turn that all the way down?? and the low pass and high pass i have the low on the lowest all down and the high on like 2 notches up . why do they make it up to like 250hz on a amp for the low and high ? it never even sounds like it does anything when i test it. and i know this amp wil do 400 watts lol its rated at 1600 at 2 ohm but its a ma audio amp so its prolly a little bit overated but cant be too much. its a HK1398 ma audio amp. ok can anyone tell me if its a bad amp? and it sais it will do 800x2 @1 ohm. but i tried it at one ohm it isnt stable it goes into protect but i am just trying to get like 500 rms out of it not sure what sub i am using my moms b/f wil be giving me a sub tommororow for it cuz of a deal we made. but yes i know this amp does 400 atleast cuz it was my friends its brand new and he used it for 2 weeks and gave it to me yes gave! lol he payed 400 for it . but got ripped on that cuz i found it for cheaper. but how is this amp?? |
