Take as much time as you need. For now Holmis gave me step by step instructions to get it ball park close where it should be. Anything is going to drastically improve the sound quality from where it's at now. After adjusting it the way I did when I first got it, THEN becoming a member here and seein...

ttocs- Yea man that would be a huge help! As long as the instructional disks are designed for a person with no prior knowledge of the tool to be able to understand how to use it then that would be awesome.

I have the Memphis 16-VBF1RB. It has 5 indicator bulbs in this order: RED- Overload YELLOW- 5 volts GREEN- 3 volts GREEN- 1 volt GREEN- Power So I'm assuming the red bulb is supposed to light up when I have the gain set too high. It's a lot easier when the equipment actually tells you when your effi...

Thats exactly what I needed. Some step by step instructions. Thanks again for the help. Ill give it a shot and let u guys know how it turned out. Holmis you mentioned when adjusting the gain on the line driver to turn it up until it starts clipping, now the only way to identify clipping is the disto...

Awesome, now I get it. Zero out my HU and turn down the bass boost, adjust the gain on the line driver and the input sensitivity on the amp, turn it up about 3/4, wait until it clips and then back off the gains a little until the clipping is eliminated. Then tweak the lowpass crossover to bring out ...

It definitely draws a lot of current. Well I will zero out my HU and the bass boost and tweak the gains until it's where it should be. So really all I need to do is tweak the input sensitivity on the amp and the gain on my line driver right? Also do you know which adjustment out of the four is in co...

Oh okay the input sensitivity is the gain, cool thanks. I think I'm going to end up buying the LPL. Makes life real simple when it comes to adjusting the bass, especially when you have three separate components that contribute to the levels of bass. When I was tweaking the HU EQ, I found that increa...

Thanks holmis. I'll give that a shot and see if I can get the system sounding the way it should. Which adjustments would be considered the gains on the amp? Also when setting the bass, I read to use the twin-t bass EQ sparingly because for every 3db of boost requires double the power at 45hz. This i...

And sorry for the late response, been having connection issues with Comcast (no surprise there), I'm definitely making the switch to Fios when it's in my area :hurr: If I can't get my hands on an oscilloscope, is there another way I can properly tune this, or is it a must that I use an oscilloscope?...

ttocs and eulogious, clipping definitely sounds like the best word to describe the issue. As far as the adjustments, you guys are mentioning the gains on the amp and the line driver. The line driver itself only has one adjustment and that is labeled as the gain, but as far as the amp goes, it has fo...

Thank you AVICJR and jbob. I looked at the two links you posted and they were a huge help. I followed the steps and I think I am close to having the amp where it should be. The only question now is, it's kind of hard to describe, but when I turn the volume up it sounds like the cone on the sub is po...
