How to Tune a Car Amplifier | Car Audio


Hi my name is Movin On, and I've been working
in the field of car audio and mobile electronics
for 8 over years. I've installed everything
from navigation systems to full car stereo
systems, remote starters, alarms, and beyond.

Car amplifiers have a lot of switches and
dials on the side. And a lot of the time when
we see do-it-yourself installations, we see
all these dials and knobs turned all the way
up. This is not the proper way to tune a car
amplifier. The proper way, is to first turn
the gain down, turn all of the filters to
off. Then, turn up the car stereo 'til it
starts distorting, then back it down a little
bit. Then, turn on your high pass filter,
adjust it, and then go back and repeat the
process. This seems to work for me, gives
clear sound, makes sure the gain's at the
proper level. If you turn the gain to the
wrong level, you can introduce all sorts of
noise to your car stereo system. We have people
who come in and they step on the gas pedal
and there's a whirring sound out of their
engine from the speaker. That usually happens
when either the amplifier is not grounded
properly or when the gain is just turned up
way too high. Now the way you adjust the amplifier
is gonna vary depending on what type of amplifier
you're using, what type of speakers you're
using and what type of stereo you're connecting
it to. But generally, if you use that same
method, you're gonna achieve good sound in
the end. Depending on your combination of
amplifiers and head units, tuning the amplifier
is gonna be slightly different. Some stereos
you're gonna have to turn the gain up a lot.
Some stereos you're not gonna have to turn
the gain up more. Remember that more gain
doesn't necessarily mean more volume.
