I’m slowly putting together a DIY kit for testing car audio. Anything you think I should include?
I’m not sure if your multimeter has this, but a cheap oscilloscope could be a great addition. Here’s a link to one: oscilloscope

It does! It’s the LIUMY LM2020, and it gets high praise from DIY audio enthusiasts for its value.

I’ll be getting one of those; I just checked it out. That looks like a solid choice!
What about the DATS V3? Also, a 24-bit DAC could be useful.

Great suggestion! I might think about adding that later if I start building speaker cabinets. Right now, I’m focusing on gear for testing car audio during installation and calibration.
@Avery
Both can work well with installed devices.
True, but the DATS V3 isn’t really needed since most speakers come with the info nowadays, and you can find “pre-built” cabinet designs online for free.
The 24-bit DAC isn’t necessary either, as many aftermarket head units and brands like Audiocontrol already provide everything you need for car audio calibration.
But if I go for bigger DIY projects, having the DATS V3 would definitely be nice!
