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

just kinda BTW plug kinda thing... the DD-1 rocks big time it was so quick and easy to use! lol hardest thing about using it was unhooking the speakers from the amp and then connecting them back up when I was done (not a hard thing to do by any standard other than using this product... well aside from the fact that the screws are a little stripped out, but still not a hard thing to do)

I honestly have no idea how it's hooked up like I said it was connected at a shop when I first got into car audio with my first system and since I haven't replaced the stock HU yet I haven't felt any need to rewire the RCA and remote until I do. IIRC I paid for a line out converter though so I hope that's how it's hooked up lol I'd be kinda mad if I paid for a line out converter and then they spliced into my rear speakers. not sure a pic of my amp settings will really help much unless there's some kinda marking on the settings I haven't seen yet, the only way I've been able to tell where the settings are so far is by turning the knob all the way either up or down and then all the way the other way to see how far it turns and then estimating where it is from that (or for most of them either leaving it all the way up [LPF], leaving it all the way down,[sSF and phase] or setting it with the DD-1 [gain])

no worries man thanks for the idea you did give I'll start worrying if I switch out my HU and try it again both ways and I still can't get it to work lol

so I tried using it with red on the positive speaker terminal and black on the negative speaker terminal and it still didn't ever get a signal. so I guess I just gotta wait till I get my HU in and hook everything back up and I'll try again

def will do. and I'ma give the CC-1 another try tomorrow and I'll update. hopefully hooking it to the ground works but if not I'll just turn the LPF on the amp to somewhere about in the middle or so or just guess where might be good till my buddy gives me the hu so I can put it in.

not right now I don't I've designed ported boxes before I might post about it at some point when it's closer to time and get some opinions or I might look into trying my hand at a 4th or a t-line since I got all that space and see how I can do and if I do one of those I will need design help cuz I know very little about them

gotcha. I've never heard these subs in a good ported box before I'm looking forward to hearing what they sound like in a good ported box in a big ass cargo van with all the seats pulled out lol and he practically gave me full reign of like 1/3 of the back of the van to use for the box lol

oh ok I just figured that if the sealed part of that was for the lows then the sealed box would be too lol it's all good I'm not keeping this one too much longer they're just to tide me over then when I have the money to I'm pulling them out when I upgrade and giving them to a friend that has a big ass E350 since it's got room for a nice big ported box to stick them in and building him a box for them

oooh ok. lol learn somethin new every day

ok good to know and will do. I just thought that cuz I thought I remembered someone saying that how a 4th order worked was that the sealed portion took care of getting the good lows so therefore you tune the ported section like 50/60+ for the highs... idk

lol yea before I got it I wasn't sure what it was I thought it would like plug into the system and take some readings and figure out where was the best frequency to run your speakers for best performance lol (ik dumb I'm sorry I had never used one or seen it used before I just knew it would be important for doing my system right and figured after that there would be instructions with it that told exactly what it did and how to use it lol)

no there's a knob for the ssf too. 80? I thought sealed boxes were usually better for lows ?

lol well it's a little cold out and getting kinda late so I'm not gna go mess with it right now but I'll throw it up there tomorrow probably on my lunch break and see how it goes... also I didn't realize it was something where you picked a frequency and that just told you when it was set to that frequency I thought it actually went in and told you the optimal frequency for the subs and stuff... how do you decide what frequency to set it to? right now the subs are just some Audiopipe 15s in a sealed box

lol ok

hmm... ok. well I was planning on doing everything again once I switched out my hu of course so I guess it won't hurt anything to wait till then to tune the x over right?

ok I'll try that

how am I doing what? I've had subs on my stock radio for years it just hooks up to it with a wire harness and RCAs idk how exactly it's hooked up I just used the RCAs from my first install... I just wanted to tune my amp as best as I could till I can get my aftermarket hu in there next week

I tried it on track 8 9 and 10 and no it said to put red on the positive speaker terminal and black on the battery ground same as with the DD-1 so that's where I put them

the amp has a LPF knob on it yep had LPF all the way up and subsonic all the way down to start out and was trying to set the LPF and didn't get any signal

and right now it's just a stock radio the only settings are volume bass and treble

it was on my bass amp the xover is built in but yes I had it turned all the way up and I started with the radio at 0 power with bass and treble at neutral like it said in the instructions

the battery was brand new I just got the thing yesterday I used the battery to use the DD-1 then when I was done with that I stuck it in the CC-1... it turned on... just it said to connect the wires to the amp and then turn the radio volume up till the signal light turned green and it never turned green

I couldn't get my CC-1 to pick up anything on my amp :-( i read and followed all the instructions for low pass crossover tried multiple frequencies and even with my volume all the way up the signal light never came on

Oh ok cool deal
