OrionStang Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Before tuning with the DD-1, my H/U was at 32/35 and gain just under half, set with an oscope. My clip light would flicker a bit full tilt. After DD-1, my H/U is at 34/35 and gain barely over half. But now, my clip light is almost constant solid at full tilt. Sounds louder and deeper, but gets me nervous. Explain? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 gain is not a volume knob its to set the voltage to your H/U you turned up the H/U more Voltage and Turned up your gain you are clipping if i understand right the DD-1 is not for clipping it is for distortion Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 it detects both, it will detect distortion before clipping.. clip light on bass knobs are notoriously inaccurate... i really wish people wouldnt think thats a true clip light, the only way to make sure its not clipping is by the DD1 or a big oscope if the DD 1 says its not clipping/distorting, than its not..

crunkjuice1 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Could it be that the clip light is itself is off a bit? ninjas got me. Thats what I figured. Edited August 16, 2011 by crunkjuice1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Previous testing did show the DC light to be a little innacurate, so I agree with Derrick on that. Alpine, I'm aware the gain is not a volume knob, but setting up the system using the dd-1, step by step, by the book, allowed me to increase h/u unit volume and gain with no distortion light. I'll just black out the clip indicator lol. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
