Here is a couple of things to check:
1. Did you turn off sound check on itunes? (sound check will change the level of the tracks to a normalized level and the tracks will no longer be calibrated)
2. When you ripped the tracks off the disk did you use the highest bit rate available? (Low bit rates will cause distortion in some cases)
Please check every component down the signal path or test the DD-1 on another set-up to verify if defective.
You can send the DD-1 in for us to check and service if a problem exists.
thanks for the comments every one i really appreciate yalls time just hooked it up to a buddys system and it does what its supposed to do it doesnt show clipping then you turns it up and the clipping light comes on when turned to high as the dd-1 should so im guessing my clarion eqs746 has an internal issue but yes i made sure to rip the files using the loss-less like it says in the manual
-
i have a video of what its doing tryed it with my laptop with the volume at 90% the eq on the car is flat on itunes on flat sorry about the blurryness its kind of dark
-
use USB connection not the headphone jack iPod's internal amp sucks donkey balls
dont have one bro.. im going to put the test tone on my laptop and try that if all fails ill buy a head unit and try that i guess.. my buddy should be over today ill hook it up to his amp and see what happens
-
virtually every ipod clips when they're turned all the way up if you use the headphone jack. turn the volume down to like 90% and retest
ok ill try that..
-
ipods clip easily. and if that is the source of the audio file you are just sending clipped singals through everything.
while this is true and i agree with you why when i had first set my system up the ipod did not (clip) nor did my buddys ipad in a different car i might have him come down and check his system maybe its my eq.. or ipod as others have said
-
subsonic is all the way down? that should be up. same with the frequency. You want to let everything through. did you change any bass or treble settings or anyhting like that? have you checked to make sure loud isnt on or anything like that? if you have nothing turned up and getting distortion its not at the amp. Its in the signal to it.
yeah i dont have loud on the ipod its on off for eq. and the clarion is on flat..
also straight from the manual says
3. Turn the crossover frequency control to it’s
highest frequency setting
4. If you have an infrasonic filter (sometimes
erroneously called Subsonic filter) control or
switch, set it to it’s lowest frequency setting or
“off”
-
uh, just gonna state the obvious. did you check max volume on the head unit first?
i dont have a head unit i got screwed up so i use a aux jack to the clarion eq and yes i checked the rca out on the eq no distortion when i first got it..
-
id tend to believe you didnt have everything flat first and that something is dirty as hell in your signal.
the clarion eq is flat on the ipod as well.. the gains on the mids amp are off and the sub amp is the subsonic filter all the way down and the lpf all the way up ??
-
hey every one have a quick question well i was having issues with my bass amp the other day and when to reset the gains with my dd-1 on track 40hz -15 db and it said there was distortion so i backed the gains down on my eq and it still said distortion while it was picking up the signal so i hooked up my mids amp and turned the eq on the amp off and the gains all the way down and any time i play any of the tracks 0db 1khz or 40hz it still said i had distortion any time it showed the signal. i only have a ipod hooked up to the eq and then rcas from the eq to the amps mids and highs also bass..
also when i first got my dd-1 i set the gains correctly with the same settings same ipod and amp and it showed no distortion when i first set the gains..any ideas? id be willing to send it back to get it checked out ?? maybe its my ipod or eq?
-
I don't think it will matter cuz I seen some vidz of softop jeeps hitting 160+ with ported boxes.
The guy at the car audio store i go to says that having a soft top is like having all the windows down in a car its just not going to sound good. Maybe because he doesn't want to take the extra work and build a ported box for me?
if i were you i would do a ported box if your style of music.. just me.. and its not completely true on the whole opening all of your windows being the soft top does hold some pressure although not as well as a hard top (duh)
-
Hi, i was unsure about where to post my question and i am not looking for a sealed vs ported war, but considering i have a soft top Jeep Wrangler; will a ported box not preform as well as a sealed box would in this vehicle?
what subs box size placement music?
-
i always thought it would have to be a 2:1 ratio but ive seen band pass online tunned to 40 hz range i can probably switch that part of the design now should i make the sealed part bigger?
-
hey everyone im try to decided on if i should be a 4th order box for my sundown sa-12's here are some specs on the box that i have drawn any input is appreciated
Should I build it or not ??
its going to be a 1:2 chamber ratio
rear is going to be 1.28 after displacements
front is going to be 2.76 cf tuned to 36.09
box peaks at 33.79 at 6.69 db
