Default 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.

Hi, I have a couple of MP3 files for testing your set up. Think they are mainly bass not sure but they may be of help. Is it best to email them to you?

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??
