The DD-1 is a great tool for the average consumer to set gains consistently and accurately. But, a DD-1 is not an end all solution to never clipping your woofers. Different songs are written at different levels, some include clipping from the start and some don't. It is the users responsibility to be "in tune" with their setup and recognize when they are pushing to hard and adjust. For example, I've watched the man Steve himself alter his levels constantly depending on song and frequency. I saw it as a constant monitoring of the health of the setup and controlling variables. I'm sorry you thought this woofer was indestructible and using the DD-1 was definitely a good move now you need to refine these skills by using the DD-1 with the right tones (I used 40hz -10db for my Scope) and constantly improving on how you are controlling the system. -Drew **Remember, woofers and amps are stupid. They only do what they are told and you are the bus driver on this road to DBs

I copied this from another thread, I think it is something everybody needs a reminder, especially now that so many people are using the DD-1 as well as using it as a defense when members on the forum are telling them they clipped their woofer.

He had excellant attention to detail, constant monitoring of the health of the setup, and he controlled the system variables.

some good things to remember there drew. the DD-1 also didnt make DMMs and scopes useless like some people seem to believe.

No n8 I'm not butt hurt I'm frustrated. I come here to get help and to get new stuff. But get flamed for someone elses stupidity. I'm sure a lot of people have been in my shoes before. Maybe you maybe not. I mean for real?

whoa there tiny tim. Id settle down if I were you. There are actually 20 level6s that were made. You still set your gains wrong with a dd-1. A tool is only as good as its user and as you can see youre the phillips head screwdriver to a flat head screw. The reason it blew is simple. Go look in a mirror. The woofer and amp only do what you tell it to. If you wanted more and wanted louder I guess you didnt work that hard because you would have had two level6s on 10k. Shall I keep going. Oh one more thing. Your pseudo sales ad is gone too.

he saved up his grocery store bagger money..dropped the whole year's worth on that shit!
