Jville140db Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) I am hoping someone can tell me this. I have a good friend who wants his car tuned. But I can't for the life of me figure whats the best order to do it in. He has an Alpine touch screen in dash and the Imprint processor which is installed but not tuned. I am wondering what order to use to tune it with the DD-1. Should I run the software and Imprint the car first or should I use the DD-1 to set the amps then run Imprint. I don't know and I was it to sound its best. He spent a lot of money on great equipment and I want him to get the max potential out of the system. If you would like an equipment list I can get it. Thanks for any help in advance and if this has already been asked I'm sorry I searched and couldn't find anything. Edit- Not sure if this should have went here or in the DD-1 section. Sorry I forgot Steve put that section on here till after I posted it.

n8ball2013 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I would set the gains then imprint it.

kickass audio Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 It depends on what you set the imprint to do. If you go in the imprint and set all the eq settings to 0 so that its "flat" then you can set the unit with the dd-1 and the imprint system running. Now if you run the imprint system and have already actually tuned the system (ie you actually flatten out the eq freq's so that they all have the same db level) then i wouldnt tune it with the dd-1 as your frequency response will be different for each frequency and will skew your results a bit as you are tuning and setting the gains on the amps, headunit, and other stuff. I noticed this with my 3sixty.2 and i dont have a dd-1 but just a tpi-440 scope. If i go in the 3sixty and set the eq so its all flat and set my gains it will be more spot on for the distortion level as opposed to letting the 3sixty.2 tune my eq itself so that it has a flat output curve. Just make sure when you do it that all your crossover settings are off and your eq is flat and your bass boost and stuff like that is off. It will really mess up your results if those are not set to off or flat.

But Iv'e never run it with a processor. However what you said makes sense in my head cause that's what I thought. Anyone else have any insight and deeje I think the vid was just to show the difference between line level and RCA. I'm taking about tuning with a device that does eq mapping based on freq response that's taken based on the cars environment.
