  1. Does the distortion detect light on the DD-1 only work for the 40 & 1khz tracks? Or will it light up with distortion at any frequency and just leave the two test frequency detect lights unlit?

      I think it only works with 40 and 1 khz. They don't supply other frequency tones on the disc because of that. The AMM1 on the other hand detects distortion up to 20 khz I think.

      The amplifier in question should distort at relatively the same voltage across most bass frequencies.  Thats how the OM-1 works.

      You can test this.  Set your amp to just under clipping with the D'Amore track and DD1.  Measure the voltage with a DMM. 

      Next, get a set of test tones in the range you are interested in.  Play a 40Hz tone from that set and adjust the bass knob to match the previous voltage.  Now play all the tones you want and read the voltage.

      it will light up with any kind of distortion so I'd say yea, you just need a quality track that you know the loudness of. had a buddy who had amps that would continuously distort if the 2 amps he had were strapped even with out music playing

       

  2. how does a person switch from the mobile version of SMD to the web version on a phone?

      “Theme” at the bottom maybe? Im not sure u can change much, if ur on a mobile device i think it just knows and does it on its own. If ur already using the “mobile friendly” theme then maybe it’ll look different going to a normal theme. I think thats all u can do from mobile. I use the “SMD dark” theme and i like that one most.

      Boom! you nailed it! thank you!

      I was looking for a mobile/web option.

      Don’t think i would have ever looked at theme as an option 

  3. Quick DD-1 question, does tuning with the vehicle running have any affect on potential distortion while playing back with the vehicle off?

    The difference might be Negligible but i figured i ask for curiosity sake

      car off so your more less taking voltage drop into consideration

      Thank you both.

      I was doing it with a battery charger on ( don’t want to gas myself in the folks garage) but i’ll take it off and check the difference.

      Had both amps tuned with the -5 tracks respectively (40hz on the SCV-2000D and 1khz on the SAX-100.4) but i found the coax’s where a little loud for my taste.

      gonna use the -10 on the 2k and the -0 on the 100.4 and see how i like it
