thank you for explanation, will lower the gain on my amplifiers asap as I push 55w to my 20w (150w max) tweeter and 30w (160w max) mid (focal flax), nothing blowed yet but levels are over the top I guess. Actually my mids are smelling funny, smelling toasty, I'm not kidding. Still giving me the sound tho, so will protect them asap.
First/foremost: thanks for the video. Question: couldn't we simply use the multimeter oscilloscope for various frequencies, sans calculations and volt readings?
When you were setting the gain on the tweeter, did you have a load; a 4 ohm resistor? I'm assuming the tweeter was disconnected at the time that the output was 25V. Good stuff though .... thanks for the video.
In your part 2 video your using REW. REW has an Oscilloscope and RTA tool. Is it possible to use a sound card as the input selection in REW and connect your RCA's to the soundcard and take the readings in REW?
There's a statement he made that's actually incorrect, he stated he has too much wattage for the speakers! Which is incorrect, that is watts (power) will NOT destroy your drivers!! underpowering them with the amp in clipping or head unit in clipping will destroy them. by ramping High current levels....

I picked up a cheap scope and was having trouble getting a reading. Your discussion of the time setting helped.
This is awesome. Thank you.
nice video brother…some great tips that some folks might never consider, especially the voice coil thing at tue end

Great video thanks for the information keep up the good work

Good stuff!
You shouldnt have the eq flat on the deck ,if you're going to use it afterwards..the deck or/and amp will probably go into clipping .imo into
Wrong
@@jms7585 then as soon as you turn it on,the amp will end up clipping..that doesn't make any sense
@@jms7585yes YOU are wrong
@@smtyson1650exactly
@@smtyson1650You do all equalization before gain staging. If you’re boosting eq then you want it not to clip; hence why you have it on while tuning.

you forgot the gain from the dsp..
