Use two people. Have someone mess with settings while you sit in the car and tell him to stop when it sounds good

 

That's not as good as tuning it yourself. That's funny... :worried::blush:

 

Somebody should come-out with remote phase, gain, and frequency control from the amp.

 

Alpine MRD series has this. Was not too popular, and they abandoned this feature in newer amps.

 

You'll just have to work on your sprinting times! lol

 

It's not the same as being there. Lol! I can't be at two places at once.:laugh:

 

Nobody said it was easy.

do the rear seat fold down? If so, you can kind of dive back and force, contorting your body through the hole. Its amazing how I've managed to fold my 6 foot 210lb frame through so many different cars:laugh:.

 

I usually just dial & dash.

 

Is this seriously a thread topic? If you want make changes on the amp, and the amp is in the trunk, the only two options are to have a friend help you or make changes and get back in the car and listen (just as suggested above). That takes common sense, not a thread asking for help with common sense. If you want to make those adjustments from the front seat with the amp in the truck, buy a head unit that can do those functions (they are out there) or a processor that can do those function (also out there) and mount it under the seat, in the glove box, in the center console, etc.

I am not trying to sound like a dick, but words comes out that way when common sense is placed bluntly in front of you.

If you want to know which h/u or processors have phase, gain, and crossover funtions, please search before starting a new thread. The information is out there, that is how I know they exist, you just have to look for it.

 

Is this seriously a thread topic? .

That's what I was saying... If anyone knows me and my style here, i'm pretty tolerant of things like this...

This one takes the cake though... seriously, take your ass out of the seat and go adjust the thing...

I mean really, what sort of answer could one possibly look for in this situation.. I mean a noob question or something, ok... but this... :z:

 

I hate to say this, by I almost feel like I'm dumbing my own self down for answering this, but here it goes anyway.

You have THREE choices.

1. Buy a head unit with those controls like was mentioned above i.e. Pioneer 880/800, Alpine 9887, several different Eclipse decks, Clarion DRZ etc.

2. Set the amp on your lap while adjusting it from the front seat, then mount it in the trunk when you're done.

3. Get out of the car, go back to the trunk, adjust, get back in and listen. Repeat those steps until you get the desired results.

 

2. Set the amp on your lap while adjusting it from the front seat, then mount it in the trunk when you're done.

I can't believe I forgot to suggest option #2.

 

Well I personally wouldn't do option two, but it's an option.

 

No,

tspence tuning tactic no. 10

You have your friend get in the trunk with the VBA and adjust things for you. You pay him by buying him lunch for being your remote control. :laugh:

 

:rimshot:

 

watch with sound muted

 

Hey no fair ! I was going to post the Trunk Monkey link !

 

Thanks guys for making me feel like a complete idiot. It was kind-of a dumb question. You guys can be a tough crowed at times though. But, I can take it.

 

invest in a sound processor

 

If, the amp goes into the trunk, that's what I'm going to do. Thanks...

 

you can tune from the comfort of the drivers seat :-D

 

Buy a Zapco Amp and use a laptop to tune it from the front.

 

I rarely use amps that have on board 'tuning' ....when I do use amps with on board tuning ...I don't use it. Everything is done with external electronic x-overs. I just run extra long RCA's to the passenger compartment and 'tune' from the drivers seat ...then move the x-overs to their permanent position.
