Bought DD-1. Need guidance on setup

You should be cutting frequencies to tweak not boosting them. This keeps clipping from happening.
-
Yes, you'll use your max clean hu volume to set your dsp. Set the output from the dsp to your amps input sensitivity and make sure it is clean. Then you can set the amp gain. Hope that helps
-
You want to start at the beginning of the chain and use the dd-1 first to find max hu volume then use it at the dsp to set it's output clean and lastly at the amps to set your overlaps. Use 0db tracks for the hu and the dsp.
-
Leave those gains at zero unless you can max out the hu. Then you can try increasing them. If you can't reach max volume don't adjust them down. Just note what volume you can't play over. Adjusting them down will prevent you from getting full pre out voltage. That is not normal for the equalizer. I've never heard of that before. As far as setting eqs, don't boost weak frequencies, cut the stronger ones. This will help you to avoid clipping your signal. Keep it flat to tune though.
-
Crossovers on the hu probably have selectable slopes but a fixed number of frequencies. Depending on what you like and need for your particular build you may prefer either one. It's whichever you like best. Use your dd-1 to find the hu max volume. If you can max out the hu, try and adjust the hu gain. You may or may not be able to.

Full disclosure I am by no means a mechanic

My guess is that the belt is loose enough that it doesn't spin the pulley properly
-
Spray some belt dressing on the belt and see if that helps before you get a new one. If it helps then get one
-
Loose ground? Loose belt?

I've seen pics of the epicenter being used with Taramps so it's definitely doable. Can't you set the output voltage to 2v on the epicenter?

That's not how that works. -
That's how it is. Not all songs are recorded at the same level. So, for example, if you tuned your amp with the - 10db tone and the song is recorded at - 7db you won't be able to use max volume.
-
Remember that even with your gains set up perfectly you can still get into trouble. Not all songs are recorded at the same level. You can't just go full tilt on every track.

-db is for setting overlap. Use 0db to find max hu volume. - db will result in a louder system but you can go too far.
