Car Audio Amplifier Tunning : RMS Test and Gain setting for Sub Woofer with DMM

car electronics audio

DOWNLOAD CHART : copy “assets.pakwheels.com and paste on address bar By this method you can determine RMS as well as can set gain of amplifier of your driver easily for subwoofer you will need to play 50hz test tone and for speakers/components you will need to play 1khz test tone , All tones are avaliable in www.realmofexcursion.com , by this method , you can predict unclipped signals by looking up Fuse rating and voltage input so that you can get max power and take voltage from DMM then look up in chart tip if voltage goes above the (calculated power of Voltage and Ampere) then it clearly clipped , the max power u are getting (in volts then u look up in chart) should be less then calculated power = Voltage X Current formula http

  1. Omair,
    I had my Sony CDX 640UI with all the extras off. LPF only goes to 80Hz, HPF was off. All deck EQ is flat.

    i have a 50hz tone playing via cd.

    My alpine MRV1005 has the gain all the way down and i have an EQ on it. does that need to be off as well? I am guessing so.

    but i have the volume upto 75% and the multimeter doesnt even register anything till I almost have the gain full blast.

    What did I miss?

    Thanks

  2. hey bro

    i have a pioneer GM-7200M mono block. it has 360 watts at 2 ohms of continuous power and 250 at 4 ohms. I have a Pioneer sub aswell at 400w rms.

    Would you be able to help me calculate the DMM?
    would be greatly appreciated

  3. @allstarbayb

    do same i have done ,

    for 250wrms @ 4 ohms

    31.5volts is the numbers because

    31.5^2 volts / 4ohms = 248wats

    VOLTAGE X Voltage / 4 ohms impedence

  4. thanks brooo

    helped heappss.. the man

  5. @allstarbayb
    good to hear this , i onyly doubt about my english during record , which i dont think so people may understand my crappy english

    , but now confidence buildup more , hope if i record new video , i will speak much better

  6. How am I suppose to turn it up at 75% of the volume without blowing my speakers? Do I just turn the bass level all the way, which would be like -6?

  7. hey man i need you help i have a device that boosts my preamp output to 8 volts and my kicker 750.1 input is on 5 volts max would you happen to know how i balance the to out?

  8. also when you had tune you gain did you take out the wire from your door speaker?

  9. yes i disconnected speakers wire on 1khz tone

  10. set to 5v sensivity ,
    set same voltage that makes same rms @ 4 ohms

    like if 400Wrms then
    40v x 40v / 4 ohms = 400wrms

  11. sorry i for got to tell you take i have my sub wired to 2 ohms and my amp is way under watts i have a 15″ L7 kicker

  12. what do you mean you disconnected the speaker wires on 1khz tone?

  13. during gain test/tunning , its necessary to hook out all drivers

  14. how much your amplfier gives at 4 ohms load

  15. 375 at 4 ohms and 750 at 2 ohms

  16. @turbo1234a

    set the voltage at 39v , donot cross above it , you will automatically get 750Wrms @ 2 ohms

    we always set gains @ 4 ohms
    its universal way

    Thank you, your the best explained one.

  18. hey man i was wondering if i have a line drive that is connected to my head unit to boost the signal to my kicker amp to 8 volt input…how would you tune the gain and bass knob on my amp and what reading on the volt meter should i look for

  19. also how come on this video you only adjust the gain knob…..how come you don’t adjust the bass knob also?

  20. @turbo1234a
    my gain current amplfier gain`s sensivity lies between from
    5v to 0.2v and i have 4v prevolts headunit
    so i turn up to 3.5v in order to get all power below 75% of volume
    volume = 75%
    gain sensivity = 4v , HU volts = 4v
    volume = 50% > above clipping will occur
    gain sensivity = 2v, HU volts = 4v
    volume = 25% > above this volume clipping will occur
    gain sensivity = 1v, HU = 4v
    volume = 10% > above this volume clipping will occur
    gain sensivity = 0.2~0.1v , HU=4v

  21. @turbo1234a
    turn down the gain to least
    then check volts be multimeter on woofer`s output level

    you can even reduce bass from the help of headunit , in order to reduce Pre volts at specific volume

  22. so the bass knob on your amp your not using it your only just ing the gain?

  23. @turbo1234a

    i wasnt using bass bass from amplifier
    just only gain , bass boost give a little performance at specific frequency like 40hz , 45hz etc depends upon amplifier specs

    but it produce clipping in a signal , this is why i stay away from bass boost from amplifeir
    just from headunit , not more then level 3

  24. @omairgeforce Your accent is very strong. If you try to speak slower it will be easier to understand. Had to watch it a couple time but I can hear you. Good info and thanks

  25. @bl4h1 correct man , i am now good at english , i have hesitation peoblem
    thats ruin this video , !!
    hope when i will make similar , improved version of this video ,you will find me with some good and clear voice
