@956Bassaddict- Great score, my friend. I know it's hard to keep track of the small details, but it's those small details that can make a difference. Like your SPL Meter's Lcd screen facing your roof= up, in your 1st test of 36Hz @ approx. 70% volume as you said= the 160.14Db @ vol. 30. Then for 37, 38, 39, 40, and 35Hz, you had the Lcd screen on your SPL Meter facing the floor= down. I was sure that the change in the meter's direction would impact your score, but i did not know by how much, until you did the test again @ 36Hz, but this time you had the SPL meters Lcd screen facing the floor= down, like you did for all of the other freq. tests @ vol. 30. This score was 2 tenths lower= a 159.94Db. So that showed 2 things, #1 that 37Hz was your peak, with the SPL meter in that position, and #2 that your SPL meter gives its best score with the Lcd screen facing the roof= up. So when you did your Real SPL run the next day, without you prob. Realizing you put your SPL meter in with the Lcd Screen facing the Roof= up= Loudest facing, and tested your best freq.= 37Hz, right off the rip= a 163.75Db= very nice! Do you think your amps were maxed out power wise? Did you try turning up your volume 1 notch @ a time, off camera? Like i said before, its much easier for me watching to catch these things. Im just trying to help, hope you don't take my comments in a negative way? Great job, and thank you for doing these videos🎉👏
Thanks, my friend. Thanks for your help. I think that I can go up on the volume 1 notch to max out the amps, but I was afraid to damage the amplifiers. 👍🔈🔉🔊
@@956Bassaddict - Since your Amm-1 can't read accurately above 15k @ 1 ohm, i think? If you were to use a clamp meter around 1 of your 4 power inputs, on 1 of your Bc 17ks, to show your amp draw. This would be a more safe, and accurate way to monitor how close you are to maxing your amplifier out. From what i have heard, as long as you keep the amp draw under 2000 amps, @15 volts, on your Bc 17k, and you have enough electrical, you should be okay. So that would be under 500 amps per 1 amp input. So to be extra safe, maybe creep up on the volume until you reach only 400 amps per input. To be even safer, @ mid volume, find out which Bc 17k pulls the highest amperage, and use that Bc 17k, to creep up to the 400 amps per amp input. Before any of this, i would see how much amperage, you pulled, doing your 163.75Db, @ 37Hz. What volume was that, when you did that 163.75Db?
I'm pretty sure that a sweep will get very close to the peak frequency. But in my personal opinion, I think when you increase the wattage to the subs, the peak will change 👍
A sweep track can be useful to people who don't have any idea of where the peak freq., might be. But most people use freq. sweeps the wrong way. By doing them @ to high of a volume, which can damage your equipment. Also freq. sweeps can show a false peak, and can also show a different peak every time= they can be very inconsistent. If you were to use a freq. sweep, i would do them approx. @ half volume, like if your max you ever turn your volume to is 40, for a freq. sweep, just turn the volume to 20. This should give you a general idea, unless your 1st test shows a peak @ 35Hz, the 2cnd test shows 40Hz, and 3rd test shows 45Hz. Then @ least you will know your systems sweet spot is 35 to 45Hz. Then you can use that information, to then use test tones from ( 30 to 50Hz ) 5Hz below, and 5Hz above those 3 different peaks. Now when testing the individual test tones, do what the guy in this video did= increase your volume to approx. 70%, and play all test tones for the same duration= Like if you play the 1st test tone for 3 seconds then pause it, do that for every freq., you test, then write the score down. Once you find the freq. with the highest score, go back to that freq., and crank it up, write the score down, then do the same thing 1Hz Lower, and 1Hz higher, to see if the peak changed @ max volume, cause it often can, but usually only by 1Hz either way. Remember to always have everything the same, when testing, if you want consistent results, only ever changing 1 thing @ a time, to see if it helps, or hurts, the score. Hope this help's?
@@sparco317 - Yes, longer sweep tracks. The sweeps that go from 10 or 20Hz and up, have blown up lots of equipment. I don't recomend those @ all. Using a Sweep that was from 40 to 50Hz, and took 30 to 40 seconds to play a 10Hz span, would be much better, and give more consistant results, vs a wide band sweep, that was only on each freq., for a few tenths of a second.
Awesome so loud. You did a great job
Thanks 👍 🔊🔉🔈

@evilinside5984 That is a great idea, my friend 👍🔈🔉🔊
U made me wanna redo my entire setup
I'm really glad you like it. I'm pretty sure you can do something similar or better. 🔊👍
@@956Bassaddict I don’t know about better.. my ideas normally never make it past paper
Nice and loud. I wonder if you could have found your frequency by playing a sweep track?

@@evilinside5984 or just a longer sweep track so the sensor has enough time to read each frequency at its max spl as it goes to the next.

Made me tired watching you walk back and forth 100 times. Lol. Nice build.
