    No one is saying you are asking for something for free, I am just assuring you go through the steps to guarantee it is something with the meter and not that one specific install/gear because if you send it out to be repaired it may take a few weeks until you get it back.

    I know first hand the mass majority of hi/low converters will show distortion on the dd-1 as soon as you turn the volume up 1 notch, sometimes the volume can be all the way at 0 and the majority of those converters are showing distortion. 
    I actually made a video thats like 17 minutes long testing a few different converters and a prototype SMD converter that never made it to market so I removed the video from youtube.

    You can email Tony at: [email protected] 
    You can email Juan at: [email protected] 

    I would probably email both because one may respond faster than the other with warranty instructions.

    Thanks that's exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to make damn sure it was not user error. I'll email them and see what they say.

    I tried it on my brothers truck same thing distorts before picking up 1khz and 40hz settings are flat no bass boost no hpf. He has a pioneer avh-2400bt. i tied the probe on the rca i tried putting the rca into the DD-1 i also tried it on my old sequoia before i left back out of town and its doing the same thing.  im sure i have a broken DD-1 at this point. I'm not in any kind of way trying to say that these tools are not good i used it for many years with out a problem. So for right now i'll just have to wait till they come back in stock to pick up the combo. 

    thanks for all yalls help very much appreciated. this place is what makes me keep on coming back to car audio because i was out the game for about 4 years now.

    i might add that I've never used the DD-1 at 1khz. i have used it only for bass amps at the 40hz. i used it on my Lincoln, sequoia, my brother-in-laws tahoe, and most resent my brothers truck. they all have had aftermarket stereos this is the first time im using it for a stock head-unit and at 1khz. thanks for all yalls reply's and trying to figure this thing out. im going to get the DD-1 and CC-1 combo as soon as they come back in stock.

    I have one of the first 4 DD-1s made, it has nothing to do with its age.
    If you never replaced the battery you should do that. I change mine on all my smd tools every 6-8 months to be sure they are good.

    If you have it laying around in your truck, the actual harness for the dd-1 could have been damaged. 
    I would try it using rca cables running from an aftermarket radio and if its fine with that then its something with your stock radio or the processing its doing so I would try a different output on it.

    When I said I've had it in my truck I didn't mean like it was rolling around and putting stuff on top of it. I ment it was in one of the cubby holders with the leads wrapped around itself. I was thinking maybe the heat got to it beeing in there for a few years. I did try using the rca coming out of the lc2 and with no luck. Signal light comes on but the 1khz never does but at 40 does the same thing but at max volume the blue light turns on

    I have an original DD1 and have only replaced the battery once. Not saying the battery isn’t the issue. Make sure your ground is good, how are you connecting the speaker wire to the DD1? Have you tried switch polarity of the wire to the DD1?

    If you mean testing both wires coming from that one speaker I have done that with no luck I use the gator clip and probe that came with it. I have a ground that goes directly to the battery under the hood that's where I'm grounding the dd-1

    i put in an audio control lc2 to use my stock radio on my 2017 silverado. my issue is that the dd1 shows distortion before signal detect on 1khz and i can turn it all the way up and it never detects 1khz. Im tapping into my dash speakers for signal since thats where the chimes and bluetooth calls are heard from that way everything still works like stock. i dont have my cd that came with the dd1 im using what i could find on google and youtube either one does the same thing.

    N8 is right, HUD is legit.

    also, what town is that in the 2nd pic? Must be 100 towns in TX that look exactly like that, with one blinking light and angle-in parking on either side of the main thoroughfare.

    Boston Ave downtown Nederland texas. How do I know I live by there.
