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 lolYeah band pass is different cuz it utilizes both to get the performance of the woofer.
Can't just get a sealed only for the lows
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 themYes that's correct. But that's for a 4th order band pass. That's putting the sub in a different enclosure all together. That's apples to oranges.
-
oooh ok. lol learn somethin new every dayThe im-sg1 is kinda what you are describing. Cc1 is just to set x-over points accurately. And gain matching amps
-
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... idkNo they aren't usually better for the lows. I'd go out to say that a proper designed lower tuned enclosure is better for lows.
Well to play it safe I'd set your ssf to 30 and lpf to 70
-
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)wtf??
you thought it told you where to run?
-
no there's a knob for the ssf too. 80? I thought sealed boxes were usually better for lows ?Well tough to say on a sealed box. I'd probably set it at 80.
You said your ssf is fixed correct?
-
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
-
But try my idea as well. If it doesn't work I'm outta options lol
lol okBut try my idea as well. If it doesn't work I'm outta options lol
-
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?Your stock HU may not put OUT the signal your looking for...
OR your tapped into a signal that is not FULL range.....
-
ok I'll try thatTry and Put it on the negative speaker terminal
-
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 weekstock radio??
how are you doing that can i ask?
and.. what track are you playing as trey asked?
-
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 itWait your x-over are built in? What does that mean? Non adjustable?
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 signalDo you have the lpf all the way up, and subsonic all the way down?
-
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
-
I haven't gotten a chance to use them yet i haven't been home and my amp won't be here till tomorrow but I'm looking forward to it :-)
-
Ok thanks. Lol i got it originally just cuz it was in a combo with the DD-1 and i eventually plan to upgrade the speakers too... Then i just realized maybe I could use it on my subs too lol

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])
