Recommended Posts

You sure the leads are pushed ALL the way into to the port on top of the dd1? Also make sure youre connected to amp ground.

Try grabbing the (-) spkr terminal instead of ground.

well i finally got the hz lights to come on today by sticking the black clamp in the - speaker terminal on the sub amp, but the 300/4 i had to stick it in opposite terminals??? i dont understand why that would be and im not sure this is right, my gains are higher now than before when i used a dmm, spent hour trying to get this dd 1 to work lol

Ground differential.

Now take a step back.

Clear your head and come back to it.

Use -5db for your highs amp

Use -10db for your bass amp.

On many amplifiers that have 2 channels or more, one of the channels (usually the right channel) is out of phase compared to the left. The signal actually come out of the "-" terminal and the "+" terminal is ground. It is done that way so the amplifier can be bridged without pressing any buttons or switches. If you are unsure that your amp is like this, or just curious to see what I'm saying do this: Make sure the amplifier is turned off, disconnect your speaker wires. Get a voltmeter, set it to ohms and probe between the battery ground terminal and all of the speaker outputs. You will see that the Left channel "-" terminal is ground, and the right channel "+" terminal is ground! :drinks:
