Test CD's for setting up a stereo... — AVIC411 Forum Archive

Quick question,

I was trying to find a test audio cd to further tune my stereo... whether it be a purchase or a download. Any input? What do you guys use and prefer? Any idea of a where I could cop one?

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Well I got some test tone stuff from there... thanks a lot for that!

But, any idea on how I use it?

some posts tell you to buy some audio tools for the setup, but you can go by ear. set everything you have to zero. ie no eq boost, put the gains on your amp(s) to the lowest setting, no bass boost on the amps. play the sound then turn the gains up until the sound starts to distort. turn the gains back slightly so there is no distortion. I have my sub amp set to 80htz and my type r's set to 100. then the gains i dialed accordingly using the method above.
