The Best App for Car Audio testing on an iPhone

[@atomiczombie22]

Y'all should do a follow up for this for 2020

[@Thumper68]

I agree so many better apps

[@machninety7334]

Would be nice to see how or what you hooked the red and black leads to coming from the fluke meter and the other meter. Like did you have them connected to the iphone? If so how?

[@MrSpanky473]

Do you set your mid/high amps at -5 db like instructed by the DD1 manual? If so, can Audio tool be set at different db settings..I haven't found it on my app yet if you can. I use the files downloaded off of Rockford Fosgates site for the 360.3. Just curious...

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yeah, we really only use this for setting the SLA on the radios and not the amp gains. For that we do the same, use the disc or the Rockford files on a drive.

Like video even though I don't have an iPhone, so I'll wait for the android version. Now can these app help to test a tuned subwoofer ported box or is there an app for that?

[@philindeblanc]

Also no iPhone, waiting for Android tests.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

No for that we use the SMD IM-SG

[@nameless8261]

same android ftw

[@stanleysgill]

Five Star Car Stereo so, did you ever do one for Android? I looked through you videos and couldn't find it

[@kkkeeevvv999888]

You should compare the output of the app to ex spotify and KZbin😊

[@philindeblanc]

how is it connected to both devices?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

The have on device on the left and one on right channel.

[@philindeblanc]

are you using a Y splitter out the cell?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Lucky for me my phone still has a headphone jack, so I am using a headphone jack to RCA cable.

[@philindeblanc]

Headphone to RCA.... So reading it mono?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

There is a left and right channel coming out and each device is on one channel.

[@randomname2163]

smd has a .rar download of lossless mp3 tones for free

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+justin s thank you, I forgot about that

[@steinarnie]

Thanks!!!

[@indopleaser]

cant you do a volt meter at the speaker terminal to give you an idea of wattage.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes with some math. Ohms law

[@gteam2]

the ring light in your glasses is the most distracting thing in the world

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

John Snow sorry, we know we are working on better lights.

[@repairdrive]

better get those lightning connectors ready. I wouldn't use Bluetooth for serious audio testing.

[@MrSpanky473]

Why not, if that's what your using as your main source?

[@repairdrive]

I use it as my main source for listening to most music but it still doesn't send full frequencies correctly enough for testing.

[@philindeblanc]

He isn't sending full F, just the 40 and 1000Hz. Maybe enough to set gains. I have a JL HD600.4 amp and JL recommends 24.5 volts to the speakers. Not sure how that differs?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

When the Nex radios came out we tried to come up with a test to test the quality of the new Bluetooth. We set the volume to fixed point and played test frequencies though it. We measured the output voltage from the USB, aux and Bluetooth. Surprisingly they were all very similar in outputs. I don't know if this is the best way to do this type of test, but in the end this test showed very little difference between the three. If you guys want us to redo the test and make a video let us know.

[@philindeblanc]

I guess using pink noise. Maybe ther eis a SNR test that can be done? But perhaps there is a "benchmark" in output to use as a base?
