If you retune amps to a lower "max" HU volume, then you really arent changing anything as far as power being output by the amps, and will still experience the sound issue with your tweeters. Have you tried removing the extra tweeter pair? You may find that the extra set is just too much and the "breaking up" is just how harsh the high freqs are with two pair of tweets.

DD-1 and 03 vs 07 Monte Carlo SS
reedal replied to 32Blew's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
It takes no time at all to set gains with DD-1. Just do it anyways, just for peace of mind to know you are correctly set up in a new vehicle. -
Father's Day

I dont believe they have a sale going on. They typically announce sales a few days before the holiday. Next sale should be 4th of july I believe, unless they decide not to. -
Never would have thought of that mixture to remove crappy deadened. If I ever have to remove my SoundQubed Q-Mat, I'll keep that in mind. I only put that stuff on the doors luckily. Second skin everywhere else once i learned

Dd1
reedal replied to justcop's topic in D'Amore Engineering - High Quality Car Audio Installation Tools & Accessories
DD-1 doesnt care about the load you present the amp, it only measures distortion in the signal. A lower resistant load will not cause distortion. If you are concerned with overpowering, then either exercise volume control or dial the gain back some -
Steve Meade has videos documenting what each of his products does and how to use them properly. Look up his YouTube channel or look around this forum for them. It should be fine on the home amp as long as there is a way to connect to the DD-1.

The plus allows a more precise overlap setting than the regular DD-1. The regular, you're limited to what comes on the disc, or any other specific overlap tones you may get from another source (such as a thread on this forum). The plus shows you exactly what overlap you are setting to in .1 increments.

Almost maxed gain approx 96%
reedal replied to Zrafferty's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
The 40hz detect is fading because your signal is fading -
Almost maxed gain approx 96%
reedal replied to Zrafferty's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
Flickers are ok, but if it goes on and stays on then you are seeing a distorted signal. -
Almost maxed gain approx 96%
reedal replied to Zrafferty's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
What are the settings on the HU when you test it? It only has 2v preouts, and in my experience, you MIGHT get half of that on the -5dB track without the "sub level" being maxed out (which would in turn cause the amp to distort prior to max volume. Not that HU, but my 80PRS. Low input voltage =high amp gain to match -
DD1 Jeep factory head unit
reedal replied to Mike12086's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
If the DD-1 is connected to both the positive and negative, it may work as the DD-1 should provide some load on the HU. I am not sure though. Try it and let us know, that way no matter the outcome, someone who may come into the same situation as you might be able to search and find the answer -
Using DD-1 on a 2-Channel
reedal replied to Pelihagen's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
Different revisions showed better results using different points. Yes, that's how you do it. -
Are all of your filters on the HU and amp set to full pass as directed in the manual?

Dd 1 distortion detector help
reedal replied to Mr.Angel's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
Option 1) use an aftermarket head unit Option 2) buy an SMD OM-1 and mount it where you can see it and then use that to monitor when you turn the volume up to much. Option 3) turn volume up to max clean point, then set amp gain using that, but be conservative that way if/when you do go past that, it wont be as bad..... but i dont actually recommend this.
