No hard feelings, I'm just very limited on free time. It seemed like you were frustrated by the methods I suggested which didn't seem to work for you. That's it, no drama here, lol.

It sucks that you are frustrated but I'm not sure how to help from here. I offered advice and it was ignored. I'll offer a few more points in case it helps you or others in the future but I'm not going to waste much more time. I wish you the best of luck with your methods. I said before to use...

I missed your question about where I mounted my sub, it's inside the center console

Awesome! Glad it helped. I'm with you on using the oscilloscope to measure, I like the extra info and precision you can get with it. I'm kind of spoiled there, I work for Fluke and can grab a ScopeMeter when I need to borrow one. You can use a DMM to set your amp gains but not check the HU's...

All of your Square One steps look correct to me. It looks like your HU has crossover settings available beyond the Speaker Size settings. The menu item should be named X'OVER and you can explicitly set FRONT HPF (F-HPF FREQ) to 100 Hz, F-HPF SLOPE to -12DB, rear to the same, and SUBWOOFER LPF...

You can download the sine wave files from RF: http://rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/46/~/how-to-properly-set-your-gains-%28gain-tutorial%29

Cool, glad that the 5" setting got you in the ballpark. Which model HU and 4ch amp do you have? I'll look them up and see what other settings might be available. Oscilloscope phone app may not produce accurate voltage measurements but might be able to display the signal and allow you to see...

Use the xover settings in your HU, it will likely have more options than the amp. For 5.25 I usually use a HPF at 100 Hz, 12 dB/octave slope. Sub LPF at 80, 18 dB/octave slope. Yes there is a slight gap in frequency but you won't notice it. On your 4ch amp, turn off the HPF if you can or just...

Would love to also but wife and I are attending a fundraiser.

Sorry that I couldn't make it on Saturday, wife wanted to hit some forest trails instead. I did go to WV solo on Tuesday though! I hit Upper Mainline, Humps & Bumps, Ridge Ram, EZ Valley Connector, lower Tiber Tamer (the Upper rock freaked me out, lol), and went down Expressway and out. The Jeep...

Thanks guys, I thought I could make it but something came up. Will look for the next one!

Do you guys feel like having a beginner tag along? First Jeep, no wheeling experience, never been to Walker Valley; a true beginner. I've just been hitting little forest trails off of Mtn Loop Highway to get used to it, reading, watching videos, etc. I think my Jeep is up for it, even if I'm not...

I get the ZJ steering upgrades installed and toe-in is set to 1/16". It's driving pretty nice now! I also swapped out the head unit for an Alpine ILX-W650, Morel 5 components in the front, and Morel 6 coaxes in the soundbar. I still need to mount the front and rear cameras though. One thing I...

Hey guys, I bought and installed the Rancho RS5000X shocks. Huge improvement! Thanks for the advice, it's driving so much better! The spring perches were contacting the shock body and I didn't want to invert the shocks so I trimmed some off of the spring perches. I also replaced the trackbar...

Thanks for this thread! I just bought my first Jeep, a 2001 with quite a few mods. Guess what I'm fixing first? Worn out bushings and rod ends, but rapidly followed by the crappy ride from a Rough Country lift. Lol, I have a thread going on it already.
