After reading a post containing this information on proper diaphragm installation;
3. On drivers, hook unit up to oscillator set to 3-4 volts at proper frequency (550Hz on 1-inch drivers, 350 Hz on 2-inch drivers). Listen for buzzing. Use a small mallet to tap lightly on side of diaphragm frame until centered in gap and buzzing ceases. Tighten down diaphragm mounting screws.
I wondered whether I could perform a similar operation to test my new diaphragm install without an oscillator, but using my laptop instead.
I've downloaded an application called ToneGen that can play a 550Hz tone from my computer, but I'm wondering about the 3~4 volts output.
If I run a lead directly from the speaker or headphone jack (i.e. not using an amp), would this be around the mark, or am I way off base?
PLEASE NOTE: Heading should read installation, not inatallation. Sorry, I couldn't edit it!
