  1. I have a red DD-1.  It has always worked perfect on all my personal builds.  Yesterday I was having trouble with it while trying to set gains on my newest build.  Head unit is an Alpine CDE 172BT and the amp is a CT Sounds 125.4  When setting the max head unit volume, it didn't get a signal until volume was at 24 of 35 and no distortion up to max volume 35...thought that was a little weird, but could be legit.  Next when trying to set the amp, I kept getting hardly any signal, then the 40hz and 1khz would light up but the signal light would not.  I tried several different tracks and could not get any consistent reading...if any readings at all.  No speakers were connected and I tried all 4 channels.  Occasionally all lights would light up for a couple seconds and then go off.  I checked the 9 volt battery inside it and it tested good.  Any idea what the problem could be?  I ended up just setting gains half way and hooking up the speakers...all speakers were working fine and amp was loud and clear. 
     
  2. So I bought this used XL 18, and when I got it one coil was reading 4 and the other was reading 2. It was supposed to be a dual 2 sub. I have since ordered and received a recone kit for it. I'm going to start reconing it today. I'm just wondering if it would mess anything up (other than what I'm already replacing with the recone) if I was to hook it up free air and send a bunch of power to it to blow it before reconing.
