I have one more question. On the instructions of the DD-1 it says to turn the gains all the way down and the crossovers all the way up in order to perform the gain settings. If I'm using the MS-8, do I just disable the crossovers on the amp since the MS-8 will be handling that job, or do I still enable the crossovers on the amp and proceed the way the instructions said to? Thanks for this help guys!

Ok, I think I get it. So once again I just do this? I set the HU with the DD-1. Then do a MS-8 system setup without the gains set on the amp yet. Then I would set the gains on the amp with the DD-1. Do another MS-8 system setup. Then use the DD-1 to set the gains on the HU and amp again one last time?

Ok, so I use the -0db tone for HU, but how do I use it on the MS-8? It has no gain knobs or anything. See, I told ya I was a noob.

I just got my new DD-1 and I have to admit, I'm a total noob with it. I'll give you my setup so you have all the info for my question. I have a Kenwood DNX890HD head unit that goes to a JBL MS-8 signal processor which goes to a JL Audio HD900/5 amp. Now, I "think" I understand how to set the HU and amp, with emphasis on the word, think. But how do I set the gain with the JBL MS-8? I know you have to gain set every component in line from the HU to the amp. I saw the video on setting gains on a line driver, but that is different from a MS-8. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
