I didn’t read it either, I skimmed. But I remember Meade saying that middle tuning thing in a YouTube video I watched teaching about his meters. Who needs a dd1 manual when Meade can tell you via YouTube. A dd1 manual is nice to reference though. I use to like the books in school that had a movie to match so I wouldn’t have to read it lol! Sometimes I would middle tune in on that and just listen to one of them tapes who reads the book for me while I hold the book open and sort of follow along. Lol!

Fake it 'till you make it!

Set by rca pre outs. Play track 1 (40hz 0db tone) on your subwoofer preouts and then play track 2 (1khz 0db tone) on your front and rear pre outs. Then figure the clean volume point on each reading and if the reading are different, then tune your amps on the volume in the middle of said figures. It says that in the user manual. To be honest, I would buy a head unit that is clean even at full tilt. But if you have to settle, then tune on the middle volume. Meaning if your subwoofer preout is clean on a 0db 40hz tone up to volume 20 and your front and rear preouts are clean on a 0db 1khz tone up to volume 30, then tune each amp, subwoofer and speaker amp, at volume 25. That is your clipping point and you would be clean up to that volume.

I'll be honest with you....I haven't read the owner's manual yet🤣🤣 it's just sitting in my closet..... waiting

Different speakers and electrical equipment (head units, amplifiers) react differently to different tones. That's why some people when setting their gains will use a couple different tones. 

What I'm going to do when I figure out my max volume for my head unit and while setting the gain and max volume for my in dash processor is I'm going to send both the 1000 and the 40 hz tone through it and whichever distorts at a lower setting is going to be where I set my gains on my amplifiers. Say I get a max volume of 30 with the 1000 hz test tone but get a max of 28 with the 40 hz test tone, I'm not going past 28

[DD-1+ Help]

Track 1 is 1000 hz and track 2 is 40 hz right?

Yeah, that's going to look super clean with not being able to see the plastics or the carpet. Like an infinity pool... but a subwoofer box..... infinity enclosure!

F*ck*ng beautiful! Are you f*ck*ng kidding me! Damn! Just wow! Real talk, just...... wow

[DD1]

Also, if you didn't, I would try both test tones (40 hz and 1000 hz) through your head unit and see if you get different max volumes. Then just use the lower one. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes it does 

[DD1]

Yeah, not saying 100% that's the issue, but it has been so many times. If it's not, I'm sure you figured out your max volume at your head unit? 

[DD1]

This may sound stupid, but change the batteries to some new, good name brand batteries. I've seen this work so many times, it's always the first thing I suggest when there's a problem with a DD1 or CC1

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's going to sound pretty damn good!

Dude, that's way too clean. I can't do anything but look at it and shake my head.

That's bad ass! No particular reason behind it, and not that it matters at all, but I'm a 12" guy. This build is going to be sick! 

Just out of curiosity, what impedance load will you be sending the amps? (I don't know the proper term for what I'm trying to ask, sorry lol) Will you strap them? Or just run 3 subs with the 2 channels bridged? Just curious how you'll be running those bad ass amps.

I can't guide toy through it as I have never used an oscilloscope, but for highs, people usually use 1000 hz tone to set the gain

I was imagining one rca set per speaker but one plug left, one plug right... I feel stupid 🤣 thanks for your help

Yessir

[SK v2-100.4AB install, how to install with front/rear inputs on HU?]

The 4 channel RCA's are 4 for head unit, 4 for amp. So, you should be able to use the 4 channel RCA's. The 2 front head unit outputs to channel 1 & 2, and the 2 rear head unit outputs to channel 3 & 4. Hopefully this drawing makes sense

Nice! 

[SK v2-100.4AB install, how to install with front/rear inputs on HU?]

It looked like in the picture, the head unit has 3 sets of RCA's. 1 set for the subs, 1 set for the front mids and highs, and one set for the rear mids and highs? Or is that third one a video input? 

Anyway, if you only have 1 set of full range outputs on the head unit, you'll have to use a regular set of RCA's, then use 2 single female to dual Male RCA's ( https://skyhighcaraudio.com/sky-high-car-audio-premium-y-splitter/ ) to go into the amp. Or 2 single Male to dual female out of the head unit to 4 channel RCA's

[SK v2-100.4AB install, how to install with front/rear inputs on HU?]

I think I read that correctly, it has separate RCA outs for front and rear speakers? 

If so, you can either get 4 channel RCA's ( http://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/rca-cables/krystal-rca-kables/sp/krystal-kable-4-channel-6m-twisted-pair-rca-cable/ you don't have to get these ones, just figured I'd show you) just pay attention which color goes to the fronts and which goes to the backs. Or, you could just run 2 separate 2 channel RCA's to the amp, just make sure you remember which is front, which is rear.
