Link To Same Oscilloscope Used In This Video:

The oscilloscope can be used to find the stereos clipping point first. You must use flat eq for highest clean output. If you’re playing door speakers directly from stereo then play 1khz tone and turn it up until the curve shows a square line back it off until it’s smooth. For Clipping point on RCA use the the clips to rcas ring and tip metal than turn it up until square line. If you’re amp and stereo are tuned by oscilloscope you should be able to turn it up until clipping point with no boosts on any eq.
True 💪🏾💪🏾
A video showing this would be golden!
It's an arch High hpf and high lpf to balance out
never made sense to find head units clipping point with flat EQ if you're going to use the EQ after you'll just introduce clipping after.
@@rock962000 the point is to find where the stereo clips if you want to distort it after that’s a personal problem. 95% of stereo systems out there are clipping at low volume because their amps are not tuned correctly everything is on boost. Never understood that logic.
I've had mine for about 2years and use it a lot for my audio tinkering. Faithful little scope. Fairly accurate as well when readings are compared to a good multimeter.
So helpful. We blew two subs because the system was clipping. Third time is a charm, got a comp level sub, the oscilloscope, and followed your advice. Thanks a bunch! Came in super clutch!
💪🏾💪🏾
Been using this same type of oscilloscope for years now with great success. I also use an RCA adapter to check clipping from the factory head unit. The adapter I got from eBay it's a RG58 BNC male to RCA cord. You can get them various lengths. Sometimes trying to test a head unit output RCA jack with those alligator clips can be a real headache.
Do you have a link to it
Help bro . I just got this oscilloscope its saying x1 at tge bottom . Second function on the screen . Im not getting AC
Cam you post a link? I don't want to get the wrong thing lol I see some stuff but don't know if it's right
Great Video …, I bought an Oscope as well. I got it on sale for $30,it’s a great investment, and I have set my gains in both my trucks and some friends. It makes me feel like I know what I’m doing ..😂
Good information. You seem like a good guy. Keep bassing! 🙂
I appreciate you explaining this very thoroughly and not just running through it all fast thanks again
Solid work, agree with setting eq how a person likes, otherwise it will change levels when moved from flat. Didn’t know of this meter thanks been doing it by ear, setting low but now i can push harder. Much appreciated
They even cheaper, 25$ and researched model before hand no negativity, now i gotta pay attention, as i dropped my blunt, priceless 😂
Good shit yo🤙💯I got the exact same one. Personally I turned my subwoofer level on the head unit at 0, if it's maxed out you're gonna send out a clipped signal at a lower volume rather than if it was at 0. So you would be able to turn your volume up louder still with no clip. You could find the head units clipping point by connecting the oscope to the end of one of your door speaker leads and turn the volume up til it clips. Then back it off 1 click😂
Yeah I know you can see where your headunit clip at by putting the leads on the speaker wire.
@@BassAddict91 well, all settings that you know you can max out when listening should be turned up to max, then set gain. You can also do this directly from the low level output from your headunit to see where it clips. This little oscilloscope is golden for doing these settings, i have my own :)
Nice and yes you can turn everything up and set amp then turn it down. Then of you wanna go full tilt you'll know that your not clipping at all idk why some people can't understand that
Nice watching a humble man be real! I take pride in buying used cheap stuff and tuning and adjusting until it slams
Right
I just use a tweeter to set my gains. Buy a cheap tweeter with a capacitor and hook it to your sub channel. Play 40hz tone and and turn gain up until the buzz. It's easier in my opinion
That’s a good way as well and a good idea 👍🏾
Does any tweeter with capacitor work?
Just got my hands on an oscilloscope
I’m going to use your video today to help adjust the my amp
Very informative video my friend
Thank you.
Good info bro, I also like to set my eq 1st then the sub level control on the headunit before I check it for clipping. Lowering the bass frequencies enables you to turn the sub level up, so you don't go over the maximum voltage the rca outputs can put out. Check for clipping using test tones, then I set up the amps.
For sure use try use the same oscilloscope for my door speakers & test out my new amp as well. For my soundown sub ill trust the bass knob with clip light & use that to catch myself clipping since not all song are made the same. Thanks for the video. It'll save me money taking it to the shop for tuning.
Good presentation. An extra bonus you are missing is the Vrms. Do the math to see how much power in watts the amp is pushing before the clip. Cool stuff for the PRO.
Thank you. For this video. I was gonna buy an oscilloscope and wait for months to save up enough money because if you were gonna spend close to that kind of money on that equipment , you gotta get a decent oscilloscope, but it would have taken me freaking months. Now with this video, I'm ordering this shit right after I post this comment. Thank you for the help bro
I'm 50 yrs old Mike Morton the football player got me in back in 1986 as long as I can remember still love all my bass friend s
Setting your gains like a boss and protecting your sound gear. 👍🏾
I know this video is old but I think this osiloscope is insane bang for your buck. I've repaired class D amplifiers with the thing you don't need fancy distortion detectors.😂
BassAddict 91 Good Shit! Your Silverado, build has inspired me to put something into my work 09 Silverado. Thank you for the info and keep the videos rolling!
Good stuff! I bought an o-scope around Christmas time, and just now getting around to using it. This helped out. Thanks!
💪🏾💪🏾
Omg i just stumbled on this video .iam bout to order 1 right now...my guy good looking thanks for the info u the man bro bro
Yes sir I have the same one and have compared the results to the more known Brands which comes with a hefty price tag and my little Cheapo showed same results... handy little tool to have😁
For sure
Damn bro thats a badass amp it throw that wave way on up with no clip
Facts 💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks Man, I brought one and it came as one that had to be assembled (so you know its still in the box in the lab) lol, I'll go get one of these RIGHT NOW! before they get brought up. Thanks again Bro' cuz aint' nobody tyrin' to pay for the SMD no time soon.
I'm glad this work bro yeah clipping signal is no good for woofers excellent vid man! 😊
💪🏾💪🏾
Bro this is a really good tutorial, you explained it so easy and showing everything as it should be.
But you should notice that clipping might get sooner (at lesser gain than the adjusted one) when the amp is loaded (with the subwoofer connected to it) as the gain is produced by the limit of voltage provided by the amp internal capacitor bank , which, when loaded, will get discharged faster that when unloaded (with the oscilloscope).
To avoid using the sub and getting a annoying test tone for u and your neighbors, you can use power resistors, they come into aluminium to dissipate heat better, depending on the power you want to measure you should choose a different arrange of them, or directly choose ones that handle a lot of power.
Finally, i would suggest that you take care when switching AC DC GND on that oscilloscope, as the circuit is not perfect and if you commutate with the probes connected you will get a broken path inside the internal circuit, to avoid this, you can put a 1k resistor in series with the Red probe.
You can also check that the amp is well balanced by using the DC mode, it should read 0V at idle, otherwise you will be dropping DC current into your sub's coil which is no good at all.
Ok great advice bro im still learning
Wow. Great advice 👍 thanks man. Im no rocket scientist or nothing like that but im no bag of rocks either... so doing my own stuff always came natural to me. You tube has put me up on ALL KINDS OF GAME! THANK YOU BOTH gentlemen for sharing with us your knowledge and helping another person be better! 2 of you -Be 🆒️ 👍 and with all due respect 🙏 Eddy OC Santa ana
TY my man. Best instruction video I have found.
Great ideas for a bass head and a very special tool for a good price. I’m gonna purchase me one like yours 👌🏾💪🏾 BIG BASS HEAD
Thanks for the information, I already ordered one and it will be here tomorrow. Thanks for making it so simple. You got my sub
💪🏽💪🏽
If I want to be able to max out bass boost on amp then lower it to my preference would this work?
Once I've found head unit clipping point(vol 61clips)
Set headunit to 60 right before clipping
Then hook up oscilloscope to amp + & -
Set crossover to 200hz(prefer it that way)
Gain Set to lowest setting
Set bass boost to max
Now raise gain until right before clipping
Turn every thing off and re connect speakers
Listen to see if I like bass boost maxed out(most likely will lower it to what I like)
Then turn everything off and disconnect speakers and hook up oscilloscope again
Because I would have lowered bass boost I should be able to raise gain just a tiny bit while watching oscilloscope
Shut off and reconnect speakers.
In theory this should now have bass boost Set to my preference without clipping right?
My eq is setup exactly like that on the radio with the highs and lows. Usually have the sub level at 0 but I see your point.
Great video Bro that's a great tool for the arsenal, I need one just in case I need it but I try to only buy amps with clip indicator lights on them for my sub amp but alot of 4 channel amps for the mids and highs don't have one because they would have to have a indicator for each channel or pair one for channels 1-2 then 3-4 so I really need it for the mids and highs and to check if my clip indicator is actually correct because there could be a soft clip and the light doesn't even turn on until there's a hard clip!
I did a review on these over a year ago. There NICE!
I'm running 2 Skar EVL 12s n 4000.1 BBD Planet Audio class d monoblock amplifier with a Pioneer touch screen head unit
Nice
I bought one myself and my system sounds good.
Glad I watched this video bro. Was kinda hesitant to go about it myself but now I know it's not rocket science as I thought. Lol. Appreciate the videos
Thanks. Very complete and explained very well. I read the comments as well to add to this. Keep up the good work.
okay im subscribed. i like your personality and passion in your voice. you show great excitment and enthusiasm and i like that alot. good inspiration right here. keep them videos coming!
For sure bro thanks for the support 💪🏾💪🏾
I agree with him that's why i subscribed to you
Thanks for the support
Hey bro you the truth Im lovin' the way you explain everything I appreciate you taking time and making these videos 💯💯💯
Thanks bro it takes a lot of effort to record & edit them
Brother this is a very good video!!!! All other videos show fancy tools that I can’t afford.
thanks for this an all your other vids you got a fan here bro keep going 🔥🔥🔥
💪🏾💪🏾
you should be able to change the wave form % down to zoom it to get it 1000% perfeect.
Also find where head unit clips at before doing amp
I'd also check my head unit for clipping , then never go higher volume then that again.
You can buy a plug for this unit to connect a 9 volt battery instead of running a cord, I’m going to buy one .
Pro tip turn off the EQ on your phone or if you set the gains with that phone DON’T USE ANY OTHER PHONES after setting the gains. Use the same music app never use RUclips and always have a volt meter so you know you’re not starving the amp for power. 🔊🔊
Great thanks bro will do
why is youtube bad? i used to use it as my streaming source before finaly caving into spotify. nothing ever happened to my gear and it always sounded fine. there were some low production underground songs i listened to that didnt sound good but my gear was all healthy no issues
@@richyoung4051 the quality is horrible and you could chance landing on one of those fake re-bass songs that are actually bass boosted and if you’re running no bass knob you don’t have enough time to turn the bass down and boom! You’re on offerup looking for more subs…
@@jOhnVd0e AHHHH yes i know about those infamous shitty clipped overbassed boosted songs. thats the equivilant of downloading limewire onto your pc. instadeath 🤣
What do you use to stream music
Best video I’ve using this exact Oscope!! I’m going to have my shit bangin proper!!!
Bro if u ever get the chance and around a taramps smart 3k or 5k hook that Oscope up and check out the clip in to a 2ohm and 1ohm load its weird
🤣 I sure will
Good video, quick question. How ro adjust the scope to see it. Mine is ao small that I can't tell anything. So i can make any adjustments to the amp
Dope video I have the same amp on a zvx 18…. What are all your knobs tuned to on your amp 🤔
Nice man. Also got some skar gear myself, real good stuff for low price.
Bought that same one works well for get max rms out of your amp. But for woofers that are less rms must use ohms law.
I just order it
I’ll let you know if it works
Thanks for the info big dowg
I’ve learn lots from youre videos
Keep it up 😎
👍🏾👍🏾
Great video man. Thanks for the upload
💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks Young Brother, just ordered one from eBay. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 About To Learn Some More 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Beautiful video bro!🫶🏾💪🏾
Thanks for the notes bro!!!
Do you build boxes bro? I seen where ya had four 8’s in a Silverado! I have two but something ain’t if he with the box I have! So I was wonder do you make boxes aswell! Keep up the good work aswell! I’m from mobile so I see ya reposing for the south💯
No I don't bro
i got oscillainting app on phone check with 40Hz. sounds great.
Just wanna point some things out to u bro, you got some of the steps correct.... when u install a new system u don't just use 40hz, you have to use 1kh as well. 40 is for ur lows and 1kh is ur top end. Your radio should be set flat on the EQ as well. CHECK THE HEADUNIT FIRST! This will tell u were ur radio clips. 36 my be right but using the OScope will confirm this. If u cut ur bass signal from the radio the signal will not be correct to the amp.
Your right bro thanks for the tip and 1kh is to set the headunit right.
@@BassAddict91 the headunit and the mid,full range, Hi amps as well.
Few questions what is 20v setting for on scope whats the 5ms on scope you used whats difference between 0 and -5 db at 40 hz
Good info homie, will order one asap 💪🏿
only down fall about setting the gains like this is you don't know where the deck is clipping what i do is i go 75 percent of the max vol the deck can do then set my gains works great for me
You can use the O scope to see where your headunit clips…
Just came in from Amazon
Yep I got one of these a year ago. But a ton of these new amp come with a clip meter that’s pretty close
Right my amp in ghost has 1 but I got it for the amps that doesn't have 1
Been waiting for a video like this!!! 👍👍👍😊😊
Question . When i turn o the oscilloscope... At the bottom screen function. I have 20v x1 5S AC RUN ... I see you have 20v AC Auto . Why I cant get your dame functions... And I dont get waitting at tge top flashing . Help
I’m having the same problem did you figure it out,they look the same but i got that extra stuff on it like yours
@@beemomusic I returned it and got my refund back . Its definitely not the version I need .
@@gardyfaustin8707 yea I’ve searched everywhere but no clear instructions how to use this current version,bout to return mine as well
Hey bruh, I thawt u was lackn, but my shit hard now. Thx bruh
I ordered one a few days ago
Appreciate that my boi , very helpful
Most excellent video bro thats what up
💪🏾💪🏾
You can figure out exactly where your head unit clips with that oscilloscope
Facts
Bro you’re a real one for this
💪🏾💪🏾
So we put the bass on full blast and the car radio at the correct volume and we adjust the gain with the osiloscope? that's it ?
does a phone Bluetooth signal come out without distortion even at full volume?
My question is how do i use the 10x leads
I need to get that for myself 💯💪✌
This tutorial is legit man ty!!
💪🏽💪🏽
thanks bro, much appreciated
Great explanation ❤
What is that 20 volts measuring? 20 volts of what ?
Kinfolks, you always want your radio settings at factory settings, meaning zero everything out (Eq, sub vol). Next find out where your head-unit distort at. Next turn your bass knob all the way up. All settings on amplifier must be set lowest setting except your crossover which should be all the way up. Now start adjusting your gains. Never use bass boost!
I don't use bass boost
@@BassAddict91 I've watched dudes who use bass boost and fried their subs. bass boost is to be used when your not running high powered amplifiers and speakers. It helps for low wattage systems.
The problem with starting with a flat EQ is it sounds like shit. If you adjust your EQ to flat, then adjust amp gains, as soon as you adjust the EQ so it sounds good or tune it with pink noise and an app like Spectroid, you're now going to be sending a clipped signal. You need all settings like EQ and loudness or SLA all set exactly where they sound the best to you and bass knob all the way up before setting gains.
@@jamesg8246 when you set all your gains to non distortion level on all your amps, then adjust your Eq.
Man! I put 1200 watt pioneer on these SDR 12's, I definitely need a alternator! They hit hard and deep. So I bought my brothers EVL 12 and going to buy another one.
They also have 9v hookups to.make it portable
what u think about the kicker snowman set that mount on a Pilar or where you can bolt 9/16th bolt got em for Xmas
Thanks for the video bro !
I was pretty unhappy with the skar rp2000 sounds kinda muddy compared to all the amps I've ran over the years
Hahahah man I wish I saw your comment like a day ago just got mine in the mail installing it now. Now you’ve got me disappointed before I’m even done
@@trentfarmer9062 its not terrible just notice the sound quality difference when I would drive my othere car same setup different amps
I sent mines back sound muddy
Ordering it right now fam. Thanks
2:33 does that also mean when you play 40hz 0db test tone it wont play from your door speakers?
Appreciate the knowledge 💯
This was awesome, thank you..
🔴 I've seen these on Amazon, but I didn't trust it. Preciate the review. ✌🏾
Would this work for 4 channel amp too? Could you do a video on that if it cam be done?
I’m still watching the video but I had to pause it to point out that using the oscilloscope would be a good way to see where your head unit clips. Also a lot to say about how you set your EQ. I’m sure you’re going to get many comments about that
Yeah I know I can use it to see where the headunit clips at but I really didn't have time to hook it up to the speaker wires. But thanks bro
You can get a 9v adapter for it.
Got mine a month ago
I just got the same one, I cannot get it to work, is there anything you have to do once you unbox it, mine won't show waiting for signal or anything like that
Great vid bro, do you use the same method for your highs amp?
Yes you have to find what volume your headunit clips at. You can use the same tool to find that out same method
This helped a lot great video
-10db 40hz test tone is best to use. Right?
My shit works great until I try my oscilloscope with my lc2i
Doesn't show clipping for since reason
