won't the quality of the tones suffer?, will the mp3 files produce 20K Hz tones effectively?

I burned the different test tones in .wav files, computer CD will play so can test out the computer speakers, but the stereo system with my music CD player refuses to play the .wav files.

trials and trepedation of the modern world...

Greg,
what cd writing software are you using? If the cd-r doesn't play it is usually one of two things

1. the cd player is incompatible with cd-r's

2. The wav files weren't burned as an audio file.

Thanks dgoodier: My problem was I burned the wav files as data files. I am surprised my favorite speaker only goes up to 10K hz! (on just listening, nothing above that...)

better look into tweeter add on. (actually working on trying some cheap piezos)

I'm sure the higest frequency the mp3 player can reach, is way above my limit of hearing...

This is the file I need but when I download only available as a .bin file, when I try to convert to .iso file, I can't get CDR software to work.

is there a .iso file available that I can burn?

thanks,

It's a bogus file, I worked with it for 20 minutes with a couple different ISO programs.
Get NCH tone generator, create a 0dB 1000 HZ sine wave, set the time duration for a reasonable amount of time, save it as wav then burn it to a CD.
I assume you know the rest of the steps for setting up your amp(s)?

Better yet, here's a test tone CD I just made, MP3 file format.
6 zipped tracks in a self extractor.
10 minutes for each sine wave track. Each have an amplitude of 0 dB's.
Scroll down, type in your verification code and receive your test tone CD.

When you burn it, first track should be 1000 hz sine wave.
Then 25, 50, 80, 120 and 180 for your bass tuning. You're best listening through them and deciding which has the feel you're looking for and sounds best on your system then using that pitch to tune your sub.

Don't know how to use it?
Set your head unit at 75%-85% volume. Set your amps output to it's minimum level. Gradually turn up your amp until you hear the 1000 Hz sine wave start to clip(distort) then back it off a tiny bit.
You're all done.

After this is done, you can move onto the bass tuning if required.
First decide which frequency you want to set your crossover for after going through the test tones.
Adjust your frequency control to that desired frequency. Again, turn up the bass gain until your amp starts to clip(distort) then back it off a tiny bit.
You're done.

NCH Swift sound software works well, I like their stuff. However, the file can be burned with nero burning rom by using

file>open>testcd.cue

It also should work in other mainstream cd burner software.

I am not sure, but I don't believe it is possible to make an ISO of an Audio CD since ISO is for data cds and dvd's

[DrFrankenstein]

An ISO image can be made out of any file format, it's all digital code regardless of what it translates too.
