You put them into speaker terminals. Red to positive, black to negative ON SPEAKER TERMINALS!

You grounded a probe of dd1 to amp 12v ground?

Dc audio m3 8inch sub
AaronT replied to El fantasma cr2's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
They are not a sub that likes overpowering that much. You had better give em 1500 watts no morem Got 4 2 d4s at 1 ohm on each t1500-1bdcp So yeah 3 k but between 4 -
Yes, once you find clean volume on head unit, with that volume set your pac to 5 volts.
-
You should find your distortion level of your deck but you do it through the amplifier. the reason why you can plug the deck directly into the dd1 is if you aren't using an amplified system and you want to find your clean volume on it but the correct way to do it with amplifiers is to see what that signal looks like coming out of the amplifier, and to accomplish that you hook the dd1 to the amplifier, turn your gain all the way down, then you crank your volume up until you see distortion. Then back off volume one notch down, then set gains. I recommend a 7.5-10db overlap

You hook the dd1 to the amp. Gain down. Then turn volume on head unit till distOrion is detected, number below that is clean.

Difference in tuning from 32hz and 35hz??
AaronT replied to tbake223's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
I'm for between 32 and 36. You'll fall somewhere in the middle. Very hard to get exact unless you hand tune. -
Those are two completely different setups, no way can one compare the two in a "versus " format Your talking a 5000 RMS 100lb sub on 5k versus 2 800 RMS 12" subs on 3k. Yes the DC you should easily get 150. But really you should be able to squeeze 150 out of the rf setup as well. The t1500 amps ain't no joke, at 1 ohm they are easily doing certified at around 2100 watts and can do around 3300 Watts each dynamic at 1 ohm I'd personally run the DC lvl 6 18 on both of those t1500s gain matched. I'd pick the d 0.7 ohm option for the DC and give each amp a coil. I got 2 t1500s getting .7 ohm each from 4 meso 8s. They love .7 ohm

Beating a dead horse with dd1 -7.5db
AaronT replied to MerkToBackDown's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
I don't see why not, but as you know those adjustments are very sensitive, just pressure from the small flathead used to set gain can increase voltage to distortion point when close. What I would do, to be precise and accurate is set at -5 with dd-1, tten stick a volt meter in there to measure voltage, then do the same with -10, measure voltage after setting -10 now take the difference of the 2 voltage readings and divide it. Put the - 10 track in and set the voltage that you come up with when you divided the difference between vtge 2 So here example -5 setting gave voltage of 50 -10 gave voltage of 70 Difference of the 2 is 20. Halve that, and you get 10 So your negative -7.5 db will be voltage of 60 using the -10bd track. You'll need a digital multimeter for this. I personally use amps that are guaranteed to do RMS and then some, such as RF t series amps and I use Amps that put out more than subs call for , So just dial in my voltage with a -5 track 40db at subs max RMS needed. I know I could extract much more power with a dd1, and not have to overshoot so grossly with amp size in regards to subs, but I like not running my amps to thier max anyway. Keeps them nice and cool, and could literally play the system for probably 24 hours str8 -
Wow. Opinion. Plain and simple. Heard them. Didn't think they where anything special. Could have been the install. But that was my opinion on then given what I heard No need for the "aw cute" bullshit. I wasn't being an asshole in my comments, but yet people like to jump at the chance to be one Calm down bud

Rattle noise
AaronT replied to Steve7384's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
If that bracing isn't fitting tight against that subwoofer definitely going to cause rattles try adding some weather stripping around the contact points where the woofer meets the bracing use the thick foam stuff and let it smash with the weight of the subwoofer -
Blowing fuses issue
AaronT replied to JSB1561's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
No way I'd use a 4g run from the battery to power an xtr 1500.1d. those amps do way over rated power. And you kind body hinted that you're feeding a second amp with this 4g. You better feed that distro block a run of 1/0 from battery and get that big 3 done as well. -
There has to be a main charging wire from alt to battery. If not, add one straight from the alt hot to battery positive. I leave the factory wiring and add the big 3 to it.

Both spellings, "Weiners" and "Wieners" are grammatically correct. Fuck yeah!

I personally run everything flat I really see no need for anything if you got a good set of speakers good quality amps I might play with the punch EQ not a little bit or maybe at 3 to 6 decibel boost on certain songs that just aren't doing it but I keep my shit flat and yes when I do EQ things I reduce instead of adding the most people that are new to this 0 will set gain then go to the EQ and start putting fucking 13 decibel boost on everything
-
Once it's all said and done and you tweak the settings, recheck max clean volume on dd1. And adjust gains again A lot of people disagree with this but think about this... You just set your games with your deck flat Max head unit volume. what do you think's going to happen to the maximum flat setting as far as gain is concerned when you add a bit of EQ in tweaking to it it's going to overdrive the signal of course

Wow, spoon fed so much info the op left more baffled (hehe pun intended) than he started

Old school Rockford Fosgate punch 200ix gains
AaronT replied to Raz's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
This is retarded ironic i just dug up my 200ix from basement as I was discussing using it with a fella .very odd coincidence. Yes you touch the gains.
