all db dragracing discs have the correct test tones. you also can download them.

ive never been able to find any IASCA or USACI cd's anywhere on p2p.... only Bass Mekaniks stuff... on that note, anyone have Quad Maximus i have alot of bass stuff myself...

It's a demo, but you'll only need it for a couple of tones (and you can save the tones to your hard drive). It works well and you can use any frequency you want at a 0db reference.
As far as the meter, set it to AC voltage (True RMS is nice, but not necessary).

so which frequency would be best to set my eq input gain with,i have a crossfie cfq 5.2,it has a variable input gain control...thanx for the help guys

if you only have AIM, we can work somethin out then

set the volt meter to DC 20v. it should have a section labeled DC in the corner, and a spot to turn the nob to 20. that means it will read a maximum of 20 volts in that setting. take the red lead, and hold it to the pre amp wire, take the black lead and touch it to the body frame. tada, your voltage.

this is a pre-out. it's an AC voltage.

ugh i'm a retard...i was thinking the remote lead.
