      Good you explain to a dummy like myself. I understand how you are breaking it down and explaining each but my brain won’t allow me to understand. Could you just tell me around about where each setting should be. Such as the gain, should I turn it all the way to the right, halfway, or a quarter. Same as the lpf and subsonic. Should I have those turned a quarter, half, or full. I hope I’m asking the question where you can understand.

    I've been wiring car audio since the late 80s. I think it's about damn time that all amp manufacturers finally start using tactile potentiometers across all amps in increments of 5hz. It would be way easier rather than giving a silly random range and not being able to tell accurately what it's currently at.

    • @akuma4u

    @ajayahuja9 4 года назад +6

    Hi Jacob, if you are setting the LPF on the stereo , just try setting the amp to max (200hz). This way one doesnt need to worry if the amp dial (like you did at 12 o clock position) is indeed say a 90hz or something. I do it this way and it sounds good as well as loud, though am not a true SPL person. May be you can test it that way and let everyone know how it works. Thank you for your regular content bro.

  • @Kpaceguy
    @Kpaceguy 4 года назад +62

    You DO NOT set both amp and head unit... home theater, car audio, nothing. If the head unit cuts off at 80hz to the sub at -24db per octave, it then sends the cut off to the amp at -24db and then your amp cuts it off more at whatever -db it has built in.. meaning your doubling the cut off... so now your subwoofer crossover isn't ROLLING off, it's completely DROPPING out compared to the rest of frequencies. There will be no blend with the highs and mids and will cause a gap between them..especially if you're doing the same incorrect method on your highs and mid amp. Pick ONE place to set your crossover and open the crossover completely on the other device.

    • @akuma4u

      @@NightmareonAnyStreet_ from what i have noticed. There is no way to turn off the crossover on the amp. U can only either set it to its lowest point which is 35hz or 30hz or set it to max which is usually 250hz. You can turn off the crossover on the hu however. You can fool around and see if you can get the sound to be clear that way or keep the hu crossover on around 63 to 100hz on the subwoofer channel and on the amp, keep the dial around 10 to 11 oclock.

    I use my head units high pass cause my 4ch cut off is to low with no adjustments but I don’t use the low pass on my head unit for my sub amp cause I heard/read the less you use your decks options the less it interferes with a clean signal and doesn’t consume as much current and I don’t use an eq I keep everything on my deck at 0 my sub out as well unless I’m listening to regular music not bass tracks like I normally bump. I’m tuned super low there are days when I want to go for a higher tune or just go sealed for that strong flat response but then I play a 20hz note with authority and I just think to myself what a wonderful blurry world

    At 10:15, arent u setting your lpf on that amp on 110hz? 180/2=90 and then Add that to 20. Also, can u set your lpf and hpf using test tones? Lets say youre trying to set your lpf to 80 hz and u play a 81hz test tone to your sub. Then slowly turn your lpf knob until you cant hear the freqeuncy.

    • @JacobViral2

      Every octave the turn reduces the output not just at the tone so if you start at max and slowly turn down it will start turning down from there and not only at the note you want.

    I need a little guidance on slopes. My amp for subs has a 6 and 12db . My pioneer head unit has crossovers - running off head unit power- rear door 3 way 5.25 coaxials and xover is 6 to 24. Up front, again running off head unit to a 12 db passive crossover and set of components and again 6 to 24 db. The sub xover is 6 to 36bd slope. Sub range is 20hz to 300hz. Both sets of mids/highs are 67hz to 20k or something. Both the components up front and coaxials in back have a 0 or 3db boost feature.
    Oh, and the mids and highs are JBL and rated 5-270 w 3 ohm. So my pioneer head unit pushes quiet nicely. Just adding that before someone gives me grief about not having the highs on an amp lol.
    So recommendations? On. The front set of components, is 12 db in the passive and 12 on head unit the same as running 24 db slope on rear speakers..? Just clarifying that concept. What really get me is the phase issue and making a "hump" if my slopes are wrong.

      Hey Jack line drivers can be very beneficial I been using them since 2007. Line drivers are suppose to be used to drive a stronger preout voltage to your amps if the headunit has low preout voltage. Always buy a headunit with 4 volts or better on preout voltage and another thing make sure your amp can handle that high of voltage on the RCA inputs. Some amps are sensitive to high preout voltage.

      Also u don't have to buy a audio control line driver. They are quite expensive but now a days there are many brands and types. For instance they have 3 way crossovers now for trunk mounting with built in line drivers and they also have dash mounted line drivers 👍. I'd go with a Clarion or Cadence for the money but if u don't like audio control makes great equipment if u wanna spend that much.

    Hey there ! Hoping to get some feedback from some people here. Just got myself a skar audio SDR 12 (RMS is 600W) inch sub paired with a a skar RP 800.1D which I believe is 800w RMS. Looking to prevent any sort of damage to the sub/amp but also gain the most benefits from a proper tune. What would be some recommendations for tuning the amp ? Would be more than happy to reply back with my email if anyone wants to helped a brother out! Thanks everyone!

      It all depends on the type of enclosure you have and the size of your enclosure as well as your tuning frequency of that enclosure. A good place to start for your low pass filter is 80hz. You will most likely end up lowering it a little bit but again it all depends on your enclosure

      @BigGus87 4 года назад +1

      Hpf is not for subs. So if ur amp on ur sub has one as well you pretty much switch it off. Hpf is for mid and high door speakers. The higher you set the hpf the easier it’ll be on ur speakers but you’ll get sharper and sharper. The lower you go the warmer it’ll get but depending on your speakers they won’t be able to handle the lower notes and it’ll become distorted. Distortion is a lot easier to hear on highs and mids.

    Constantly reminding us about the poor presentation is unnecessary. You just need to mention it once, half your videos are you apologizing for how “non-professional” everything looks. Honestly I wouldn’t have even looked at it twice and had any negative judgement, but you are constantly reminding us that it looks rough and cluttered. It’s the only thing that stands out in my mind of your videos. “Oh it’s that channel where all the guy does is apologize for the unprofessional look of everything.” It’s extremely obnoxious.
    The information is actually very good
    and informative. Your speech pattern is
    also very good, and voice pacing is
    pleasant to follow. Lots of potential
    here. My suggestion would be to just comment on how “this is a work in progress and what your seeing is not the final product”. Mine looks very similar but people don’t notice then rough look they just comment on the material because I don’t call attention to
    it. Don’t apologize to the audience. Make them apologize to you.

    Have you noticed that all the videos on something simple like AMP Low Pass Filter become too complex for the person posting the video to explain. They're so immersed in their tech nomenclature that they can no longer communicate the simplest idea. Just how do you use the LPF? They can't do it, they end up drowning in their own word play. "Okay on the LPF setting you want to get out your volt meter and it depends on if you have a 1 to 1 or a 3 to 5 or 5 to 8 band pass box ratio and then you measure your frequency so get out your oscilloscope." shut up shut up shut up I should've known not to ask a guy whose stereo is so complex the seats and motor had to be removed to make room for one of the amps.

    All LPF is is setting a crossover at that specific frequency. Amplifiers usually contain a 12DB/octave slope, don’t overthink it. If you want your sub to stop playing music around 60hz, cool. Set it to 60. Just because a crossover is set to 60 doesn’t mean the speaker rolls off at 60, the slope usually starts before the desired frequency. Most set it at 80 because that’s where midbass is supposed to pick up. There is never a “correct” way to set it, mine is set to 55 in mine because my midbass picks up at 55hz and is confirmed through an RTA.
    All in all, there’s never a correct way. Just need to find where the subwoofer either stops playing at in a ported/band pass box or where you want it to stop.

      Setting LPF to where midbass/mids kick in or are crossed over is one way to do it
      the other way is to set mono amp gain first, turn volume to max listening volume then turn LPF up until you start hearing mids come thru the sub or when it starts sounding muddy.
      I opt for the 2nd way to set my LPF so i can get the most clean frequencies as possible out of my sub.

      What RTA hardware / software do you use please?

      @A. Melbs mono gain: your subwoofer amp gain. Yes it helps to unplug your mid amd high speakers when doing this and leave only subwoofer plugged in so you can hear just whats coming out of the subwoofer.

    I had my new system sounding great when I first hooked it up. Then I went into the deck settings and messed it all up! I’m sure this will help me get it back to sounding great. Thanks

    You can tune lpf and hpf with a multimeter. I just watched a video here on RUclips. The guy played the Hz freq through the head unit then watched AC voltage from the + & - speaker terminals on the amp and stopped adjusting when the voltage dropped off
