bluetooth isn't going to make a noise, mate.
make sure the power option is not the one with quick resume, as that leaves the motors running but the lasers off.
go get an app like this one called audio tool and see what frequency the base station is emitting.
Audio Tool app for Android has an RTA function and simple dB meter. Simply play your x-over freq on the mains with the subs muted and vice versa to get a quick and dirty gain-staging setup.
Note that this app won't necessarily be absolutely accurate due to the inconsistencies of your phones internal microphone but it will be fine for relative differences between speakers measured by the same mic.
So, by no means is this little condenser mic a replacement for any type of professional audio recording gear. However, this little Dayton Audio IMM 6, with the right software and calibration file, certainly gets the job done.
If you’re looking to do a little fine tuning to your car audio system and don’t want to fork out much cash for equipment, I’d recommend giving this mic a try along with audio control’s audio tools app available for download on any iOS or android device. It definitely helps with identifying the peaks within your setups freq response.
Edit. Apparently this app isn’t for android but this one looks to be about the same. It costs 7.99$ through google but if you browse the torrent sites I’d bet you’d be able to find it for free.
Download a signal generator for your phone.

Play a constant 2 khz tone in a nice quiet room.
You should hear it change. It's kind of hard to hear with ambient noise because it's not a steady clear thing.
And if anyone is curious, this is the AudioTool app along with a Dayton iMM-6 Calibrated Mic. Well worth the ~$25 combined is you like to tinker with audio related projects.

> I'll try pushing the car and tapping the glass to see if it sets off a beep with some other person listening for it.
Something that might be useful to you (in a number of situations even?) is a phone app that visualizes audio..
As an example I use an app called Audiotool for Android that helps me quickly identify room characteristics without hauling out an industrial instrument for that task (sound is my job) - that app is a few dollars but there are free ones which would work the same for you - the microphone on your android or tablet or iphone or whatever would pick up the sounds your car makes, and communicate that visually to you. Here is a photo of my phone running that app while I play the sound of a car alarm on my computer
I don't know of course if you've always been hearing impaired and I'm sorry if I've accidentally come off patronizing. Just trying to be helpful.
Ok, I saved this for use later. Are you talking about this AudioTool app? And what is your opinion on this mic?
Edit: I see now on the parts-express page for that mic that the app you mentioned is recommended.
This is the direction I have been leaning towards. What part of the process has made the biggest difference in your mind? I supposed that will depend a little upon your end goal. I have also seen a few posts about people using Audiotool with an IMM-6 with decent results. I still need to do some more research on the pros and cons of that setup. I am in no means trying to setup an audio studio, just trying to calibrate a few of my speaker setups within my home but the vast majority seems to point towards REW.
I apologize. I thought it was the same app but I guess it isn’t. For Android I would use this . From the reviews I would say it’s worth a shot. It does cost 7.99$ through google play but you can probably find the .apk on one of the torrent sites.
Also, that one also has the mic calibration feature as well so I’m sure it’s just as accurate as the audiocontrol’s app.
If you have a USB Mic, that can work. And eliminate the cost of the mixer.
If you have a Phone rather than a computer, then there is software specifically made for Phones -

I know there are other Microphones similar to the iMM6, but I've stumbled across them randomly and can't give a direct link.
Do you mean this Audio tools?
I find this one quite nice, but there's many.
