Do you have the xovers set properly on you 900/5? I have that same amp and picked up distortion on it no problems.

Unless I have missed it posted someplace else, were you going to post up a video of the AD-1 in meter mode using the IM-SG to create the spectrum analyzer? Very interested in seeing this function!!!
Need to see if I can move some funds around and pick one of these beasts up! I am not a shop, and have severly toned down the amount of installs I do, but a tool like this is first of all almost too cool/fun to pass up, and really creates such an opportunity to get the most out of the money we put into our cars in the first place. I like knowing my investments are being used to their full potential!
Sorry to bump, but hadn't seen anything yet. Was still looking to see if there is, or will be a video showing more about using the AD-1 in conjunction with the IM-SG to create a spectrum analyzer? Very interested in this.

Thanks! Really going to have some fun messing around with this tool now!

Hey steve what is the materal called for this cover. Possable link on a place to get?
I can't speak for where he gets it, but it's grille cloth.

And those turned out clean as hell! Love that it isn't taking away from the classic interior!

I keep my imsg1 in a gun case, with SMD and D'amore stickers strategically placed.
one person even asked if it came with the case.
Going to need pics!

Everytime I see someone post the cases they have done up for their SMD tools it makes me want to run out and do the same, but they look soo damn good in my toolbox already!
-
Lol, mine did the same thing. I kept re-burning it thinking I was messing something up!
-
Was just wondering if there was any word on timing for this yet? Looking forward to messing with it!
-
I think it's awesome that these things are made to look like every one of them was personally signed by Steve on the back. lol great way to make people that don't know any better either impressed or jealous
You do realize they are hand signed by him don't you?

Spoiling the younger generation letting them use all the new tools! Got to let them struggle through some of the headaches to understand how nice they have it with all the new tools and things like circle jigs to make life easier!! Lol
Nice choice in equipment though.
-
What I think happened is that when these individuals were asked hwo they tuned they said with a dd-1 and they probably havent even seen it. I know far too many people who use them, me included that have no issues whatsoever. It caught fire on this topic because people were doing what they had to do to get their amps warranty repaired and not have to come out of pocket.
This right here is the EXACT reason why I will let anyone use my DD-1, CC-1 or IM-SG to tune their equipment and walk them through it. Read the manual word-by-word to them as they do the tweaking, but I will not touch their equipment. They must do all the turning of knobs or whatever else they are working on themselves. Seems all to quickly once someone drives away and you have no idea what they do after they are gone that people will do whatever it takes to save their own "rear axles!" I am not going to have them knocking on my door blaming me for anything.
Sucks that things have to get like that, but that is the same reason why I stopped doing "side jobs" for friends. I had an ex-buddy try to make me pay to have his car repainted after I painted it and he rear-ended another car and the only thing that happened to his was some paint chipping and a small dent. Tried to say I didn't paint it right if the paint chipped.
The old saying really holds true....a few bad apples spoil it for everyone.
hence the reason i have a man cave with MY OWN shit in it and not a store-front shop. I don't want customers. Unless its me buiding a box and handing it to the person. For the most part, i avoid touching anyone's car. Its all lovely until a year later and the window stops rolling up or something totally unrelated...and its ALWAYS your fault. Fuck that. I don't know how shops deal with it.
It really is amazing what people will try to do to pass the buck onto someone else. I have had the pleasure of listening to some of the "complaints" our company gets on our products.....absolutely blows my mind what people try to do to get things for free, or make a buck!

well it finally came so figured i post up a pic of the new toy/tool, and now the set is complete till they come out with another or i finally need the dd-1 high voltage.
Let the fun begin! Congrats!

I don't have the money for one just yet. This can also find box tunings of sealed enclosures right.
Correct!
-
Man I learn more and more about how this tool is the most bad ass car audio tool there is every day
If you don't have it already.....2 words......GET IT! Because it most definitely is!

what do you have a patent on?
No, for sellers protection you file your patent prior to selling to put it into patent pending status, can take up to 3 or 4 yrs for the patent to actually be approved.i always thou you had to patent something before it came out for sale or some 1 can steal it
The US is terribly slow at approving them because tgey have such a massive backlog of applications!
Congrats! I know it was pumped when mine were granted!
For cut dough applications, equipment, and formulation. I do R&D for General Mills, I work with some people who have 30 or more patents and trade secrets.
My Australian patent was filed and granted in less then 6 months, and I have 4 other pending patents in the US that are going on 3 years pending! Lol
It's a cool ass feeling getting that first one for sure!!

That's exactly what I did! Was so easy to use and fun to find out actual tuning on enclosures I was pulling old ones out of storage and hitting up all my buddies asking to test theirs!

And you will LOVE it!

They say that planes are built to withstand lightening strikes and not as much as a light flicker in the cabin, but I hate flying and everytime I fly I white knuckle it.

I'm sure it will be posted up so forgive me, but was just wondering if there was any rough "ETA" on the software?
Loving messing around with this tool!!!!
