tuning

I am attempting to model my full system (i.e sub/ mid bass/ mid range/ tweeter) to align the phase based on crossover points of each driver to get a baseline before tuning. That said, I have found no discussion on the difference between the System Overall Transfer Function Phase graph and the...

First post here and new to the forum, apologies if covered elsewhere. Question on gains and target curves for active 4-way SQ setups. Most curves I’ve looked at depict a 12-15 dB roll off from subs to highs. Does anyone use differing test tone levels to set gains and would this help build in a...

I'm looking for recommendations for a good Car Audio Tuner in Michigan or Northern Ohio/Indiana. Already have a full install with good equipment and sound deadening that uses a TWK-88 DSP for EQ. I've already spent too much time (over 2 years) upgrading equipment, messing around with REW and an...

I have an active system. Since my DSP allows for multiple presets/modes, I was thinking of making a preset for tailgating (playing music outside the vehicle for say, a pre-concert parking lot pre-game!) Anyone ever done anything like this? Any tips? My effort was I guess just going to be tuning...

Firstly, hello to everyone. I joined this forum to hopefully get some assistance regarding my issue. My current Audio setup in my car sounds absolutely horrendous and im not sure what is to blame so i will list all my equipment and hopefully someone can tell me if my issue is a tuning or...

Hello all great community learned a lot . I live in Eldred PA 16731 wondering if anyone close buy would be willing to come and tune my car for some $. I have a 2 way active system with a dayton 408 dsp. I have rew and a good laptop with dayton mic. I know the basics but just need someone to do...

Hey all, quick question that I couldn't seem to find the answer to anywhere else Referring to this image https://imgur.com/fJsO1hW How does the tuning work in a double baffle configuration where the port width effectively changes along its length? Do you use the wider or the narrower width...

Been working on an install on my '19 Civic for a few weeks now. I decided to run a JL Fix86 to clean the signal and fix the bass roll-off that is built into the Factory HU. After getting everything set up and multiple attempts/tweaks I consistently get a constant static noise coming from...

So I'm ready to tune my amps and head unit for my new system! I'll be tuning using an o-scope and test tones. I had been going off a popular post over at SMD, but I ran into two conflicting statements from the author. Just looking to clear up the right answer. First statement: Step 1: Tuning...

Hi everyone, I have installed my helix dsp mini and have been playing with the tuning of my car for about 2 weeks now. I am using a pioneer 80prs in standard mode with single rca from front outs to the helix. I had my system near perfect in network mode but I am upgrading my headunit to a...

I am currently planning to upgrade the base stereo system on my BMW E90. The plan is as follows: IDQ12 in a 30L corner loaded enclosure, powered by class D 650W RMS amp, Audison AP8 underseats cheap rear speakers that can handle power without blowing instantly. Focal IFBMW-C in the doors(already...

Today I installed a MTX Terminator TNE212D loaded sub enclosure with a Rockford Fosgate R500X1D amp. Everything seems to be working as it should and all that's left is to set the amp properly. I'm using the factory head unit and have tapped into the rear stock subs for the amp input. Many of the...

New to the forum, and copied some of this information from another member (DanMc85) since my setup is pretty similar. I'm looking for some help to properly setup my JBL MS-8 for integration into my 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium. I’ve thus far ran all new wiring, installed a new center speaker in...

Rookie Tuner here so please be gentle: Each time I tune my system to match the standard ATF curve on the Helix I am disappointed with the resulting midbass, specifically I lose all punch in the mid bass area. I'm running a Helix P6 120 watts to Hertz ML 6.5's in the doors LPF at 250 hz -24db...

Hi Guys, I am looking to properly setup my JBL MS-8 to the best of my ability. Sorry for my long first post, but wanted to provide as much info as I had available to me to get settings recommendations. I need to configure the crossover settings on my JBL MS-8 before doing the timing and...

I'm relatively new to car audio as this is my first personal system, but I'm completely out of ideas as to what may be going on even after months of searching. I bought a 600w subwoofer package back in March of this year which included a Boss CXXM1250 amp and an Audiopipe TXX BD1-12 sub. The...

Hello everyone. Now, before everyone rolls their eyes for another MS-8 thread, I'd like to mention that I have done tons and TONS of reading on this thing over the past 6+ months including almost everything Andy from JBL (at the time), and others said about it in the FAQ thread. Creating...

Currently got my system all set up, Alpine type R 10inch, Alpine MRX-M110, and Pioneer AVH-x5700bhs. I initially used the tuning page on crutchfeild to set up my gain, and LPF. However my deck has LPF built into it, and crossovers along with HPF, LPF and couple other settings for my mids and...
