Mp3/WMA files to test my speakers.
I have just put in another ICE install (as some ****** nicked the car and cleared all my old stuff out) but I get the feeling that I am missing some frequencies in the 100-300Hz bracket. Does anyone know of an mp3 or wma file that will play a series of tones at different frequencies that will highlight a problem?
I have a 12" sub, 8" sub 61/2" components up front (all Pioneer) and a Sony head for the record.

You are aware i presume that MP3/WMA are the worst type of files to test speakers with and the compression of the files takes away a very large proportion of the sound quality.What you need is a genuine CD with a lot of bass lines for a better test Easy test is to play a song in mp3 format then play the exact same song on a genuine cd and hear the difference

To be honest it is just the volume I am trying to get right at the moment. The 12" does the bass just fine it's the notes around bottom C to the octave above that seem to be missing.
Thanks for offer of the files. I'll PM you my address, thanks.

Just a thought but have you tried adjusting your crossover levels on the headunit and amps. Maybe just set to high on the cross and that's why your missing them??
