I said it would be against my better judgement. Just trying to learn something, but I really appreciate the life advice, not sure what I would have done without your .02

I have a DD-, I like it, and although I have only used it once to tune my system and have had it over a year I don't regret purchasing it. I am intrigued by the DD-1+ but am on the fence about making the purchase... $250. I asked about a trade in program when they first came out but I don't think there is one. Yeah I could sell my DD-1 but it's signed by Meade and I really don't want to try to sell it. I am not one of the lucky ones that can just drop hundreds of dollars on a new gadget whenever they want to. If I was in that position i would own all of the SMD tools and meters. I could buy it on credit but I am unemployed right now and that would be against my better judgement, although I could probably be convinced I watched Steve's YouTube video about the DD-1+, searched the forum for topics, and even downloaded the owners manual and am still left with questions about exactly how gain overlap compares to using the various DD-1 tracks. Say for example you have a DD-1+ and you set the gain overlap to 10db, how does that differ from just having the DD-1 and using the -10db track? Also, how do you know what type of overlap to use when you have fully variable adjustment from 0-15db? Thanks to any and all with input.

When I read the title I was thinking... What ride is Chicken putting zebra in That's a neat twist, I'm with you on saying that isn't something I'd put in my ride even IF I could afford it, but it's always fun to see something different

Email Tony and see what he has to say.

Do you mean like this? Are those logos just stickers? They look a little different than the other parts.

Nice!! I can see that the young man is well coached. Putting up those vids a' la SMD style with an AMD twist to them Was that shot with a phone or an actual camera? The quality looks really good.

Damn Steve got a whole bunch of hate thrown his way in the comments. People are fuckin stupid.

If he had some serious beat in there I'm sure he would have and probably more than 1 layer too. He said he just wanted less rattle on the trails, which I'm sure will be mission accomplished.

I had the same problems when using ie. I couldn't quote posts either. Switched to chrome, no problems after that.

He says why right in the video.

SO I called XSPower again based off of the recommendation I got. Talked to a different person this time. The difference was night and day. The original person I spoke to wasn't rude at all but didn't seem to want to find a way to help either. I would say it was your average level of customer service you could expect to get just about anywhere. Second time I called, the person I spoke to gave me his email address, asked me to send him some pictures and I did. He didn't end up offering to warranty the battery BUT he was very helpful and came up with a more than fair solution. The only problem is that as generous as his offer is, I can't afford it at the moment due to being laid off so I am still in the same boat. I appreciate the help and input I got from everyone though.

That looks just like the alternator in my 03 expedition. What a deal!!! I'd buy one if I could fit a bolt on dual kit under the hood

it's VERY nice. Rode around a little in the rain up and down the street and the field across from the shop. Felt great but I couldn't keep it in a straight line in 2wd mode. She just wants to be sideways I gotta stay in 4wd mode in order to not drift when i punch the gas LOL. I can't wait to take it somewhere fun, maybe tomorrow. I can't wait to see the video. Probably looks and sounds 10 times better in person, and that's saying something because it looks bad ass in pics and vids.

Who was acting like a stuck up bitch? Helping someone isn't necessarily telling them what they want to hear. There is no written perfect procedure or rule when it comes to what the OP is asking. It's learned by trial and error. The manufacturer specs are there for a reason, to protect the product and the customer. If you haven't actually travelled down this gradual learning curve, then no Q&A session in a forum thread is going to give you the know how necessary to throw triple the recommended power at a sub. Let's see you practice what you preach and instead of calling everyone bitches tell the OP how it's done. The floor is yours, I'm all ears bro. ****** drops mic, walks away from podium ******

Thank you Nathan. I'm assuming this is the Nathan that sold me the battery great customer service by the way. The battery is still in my possession as a return was not authorized. What test results do you speak of? Regardless of the outcome, awesome hearing from you bro!!

Coming from you that means alot thanks man. I've got a lighting question, I'll pm you

Thanks man. The two below the stereo are out of my line of sight, the one up top is mounted where the flip down mirror used to be so I can flip it up when driving. I know, it's just a couple of meters but that's all it takes to make me happy

Ha. This got more interest before I put the video up than it did after. Fail.

"proud pappa moment" .. hell yeah bro. Always know when something has your approval when you give it the "yeah" He should love those T2 components. I love mine, been waiting on a certain company to send mine back to me from warranty for 6 months now. These father/son project videos are definitely some of my favorite that you've made.

Yeah it's where I keep my spare actually. The toolbox used to be red. It's the first toolbox ive owned, got it when I was about 15 i think. Decal hes been there just about as long.

Here's the vid you pervs....... Keep in mind that I am no good at taking videos, but at least you can tell what it is. Enjoy... The VM-1 is mounted in the overhead console where the little flip down mirror used to be. The OM-1's aren't calibrated with my DD-1 as of yet, so they're just a light show for now. Low 12's full tilt? Ill take that. Low power so I better not drop too low anyways.
