    Yeah back in the 90’s we made these RCA boxes and used a Phoenix Gold line driver to dial in the desired voltage. Using a Oscilloscope to find the square wave before it goes to the amp for a clean signal.

    The volume is important when gain matching. Ideally you want to do it with the subwoofers unhooked at full playing volume. Then you need to match the lpf and subsonic if those are being used, then the most important part last, phase matching. You need a scope with two probes. I can’t believe you aren’t phase matching them. You are loosing so much from not phase matching, once you see it on a scope you will understand. Hope you listen

    Excellent video, question does the same line driver setup work for a sq setup and for example what input hz would you use 40, 50, 60 or 80 etc for gain matching. I use 50hz but man like you said my input voltage was off on my 3 sub amps the lowest being 1.9 v and I think the hi was 2.4v

      Its a burp only setup, so he doesn't need to really worry about it, the SPL score will tell him if hes clipping to much or not, a little bit of clipping is not gonna hurt a burp setup.

  • @juggernautxtr
    @juggernautxtr 3 года назад +1

    absolutely hate the term gain matching.......technically it's signal matching, a radio may turn to lvl 40 with 4v output on volume but starts to distort at 20 and only puts out 1.5v at that volume, gain matching makes the gain on the amp sound like a volume knob.

      Definitely loosing voltage with every split. Y splitters are big band aide.
      Audiophiles chase for every volt possible. Buy the highest voltage head unit you can ( 4-5 volts + ) &
      line driver ( 4-9 volts + ) higher the
      voltage, cleaner & stronger the signal = less stress & better SQ / SPL
