When yuu reset your gains with the dd1 did you turn the gain up more thOugh? Yeah I have been told the stock one with the car is off by far and as you stated doesn't state what the amp is getting I haven't moved the gain since setting it and literally just installed the new deck an hour ago. I'm at work and haven't played with it yet. I used the -5 to set the amp last time for the front stage, now I'm going to use the 0. In order to upgrade any electrical at all before tomorrow's show, the only thing I could think of doing is buy 2 yellow tops and throw my 3400 up front. Time to find some 1/0 and terminals.

Called Ric from PCA....gonna redo the DD1 and see what's up.

And I will say that I'm willing to spend what I need to to correct the issue, I just need to figure out what the issue is, lol.

Big 3 is done...1/0 welding cable. Newbie, I would guess what you are saying is possible and it does make sense. Like I said, with the current electrical as I have now, there were no issues until last week. I had always relied on my car DIC to give me my voltage and hadn't installed a volt meter at the amp. According to my car, I am never below 13.7, and usually over 14. Obviously I know this may not exactly be what the amp is seeing, but with no prior issues I figured I was good. Thanks for the ideas guys.

The solder connection is very clean. I had my IT dept do it with me at work and they are a great little personal "geek squad", lol. My Ground connections go from my amp to the negative terminal on my rear battery (xs d3400). I have runs of 1/0 pos and neg going from front battery to the rear xs 3400. All of the ground connections have been gone over and are tight. Also corrosion isn't an issue with the way its ran. Like you though, this was one of my first thoughts. I just installed my Pioneer AVH 4400bh, so I'm going to pull out the DD1 and CC1 and set everything up again....fingers crossed that I can figure it out.

So my setup is a DC 2k pushing 2 Level 4 12's with a DD C4A pushing my Massive Audio CK6's and I have an xs d3400 in my trunk that this is all connected to. I've had this setup since last August and have really had no issues......until now. A week ago this past Wednesday I received my DD1/CC1 combo pack and set my gains, cross over pts, and checked head unit level on my setup. This was all done with speakers attached and had to be done through the amp, meaning using the amp ground and output positive. When I went to pull my RCA cables off my C4a, the gold outer ring from the amp came off with it. I pulled the amp out of the car and had a friend re-solder the gold pc back on. After we put it back together, everything seemed to be fine. But a little while later the amp went into protect mode. I shut off the deck, waited and turned it back on and everything is fine. Going forward from this point though, if I turned up the volume and the bass hit too hard it would go into protect mode. So I called DD and ordered a new RCA input and installed it into the amp. I also noticed that one of my RCA's would "wiggle" a bad connection, so I ran a new set from the back of my deck to the amp (knu koncepts). I was hoping all this would fix the issue, but it still happened just not exactly like before. I have double checked my grounds from the amps and they are fine, back to the battery negative in the trunk. I don't believe it's voltage drop. This morning on the way to work, the front speakers started getting a little fuzzy/feedback ish and I turned it off for a few and when I turned it on it was fine again. I am lost for ideas now though and am hoping someone can help guide me to troubleshoot this.... Thanks SMD fam!!

Good luck. Seems like a great opportunity for you.

Sorry for your loss bro. I am currently battling B Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma/Leukemia and I completely understand how difficult cancer can be for a family. I am blessed though as I am beating it. I'm definitely here if you ever need to talk or vent.

175.4 and DC 5k to 19734.

I love this track...wish producers would put a little more time into trying to minimize the clipping.

Mine are installed. I'll try to get a vid up Monday on this thread with my subs turned off.

Congratulations!!

That shit's classic.

I have the CK6III and love them. I have them running off a DD C4A and they are great.

Just got my nice little package from the FedEx Santa.....

Just ordered the combo pack. My order # is: 100001936. Absolutely can't wait to get both of them and get everything tuned in correctly!! Hats off to you sir!!

My sister-in-laws friend slit her neck with a circular saw in her parents bathtub at the age of 17. This is the most disturbing suicide I have ever heard of.

Hope you picked up a nice aluminum cast d-cell kind...always makes for a great billy club too, lol.

I'd a had little poop nuggets fall out of my shorts if that was me, lol.

Coverup is coming along good. Hijack thread.... Are you able to hook up the DD-1 tonight?
