I can't remember what exactly my bands are EQ'd at in my DSP, but let's say 400Hz is at -.7dB, 715Hz is at 0dB, 1000Hz is at -6dB, and 2000Hz is at +1dB. The DD-1 uses a 1000Hz signal to set the gain right? So if I didn't first flatten the EQ in my DSP, it would treat the -6dB band as it's baseline when setting the gain, then 715Hz would effectively be +6dB, and 2000Hz would effectively be +7dB right? And that would result in massive clipping, right?

In the DD-1 manual, it says set the headunit's EQ to flat before setting gains on an amp...do you also have to set a DSP's EQ to flat? Because my 1kHz band on my midwoofers is set to -6dB because of a huge bump they give me when I measured with my UMIK-1. If I left that band at -6dB and then proceeded to set my amp's gain using the 1kHz test tone, what would happen? Would the DD-1 disregard the DSP's EQ, or would it take into account the -6dB attenuation when setting the amp's gain in which case all other bands would most likely be clipped?
