meade916 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 what sub level issue?The instructions don't specify where the sub level should be set on the head unit. So what I did is set mine to 10/15, knowing I'd never take it up past 5/15. Not sure if thats the best way to do it though so im hoping for some clarification. thats easy....set everything on the deck to flat including the bass. I thought that was in the manual. Let me check it out. 1 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

Let me check it out. Nope, no mention of sub level adjustment in there. I know there's some decks where if you have the sub level all the way down the preout voltage will be very low.**Edit** Just checked the updated manual and it does make mention of the sub level issue If you have a bass boost knob or level control knob, set them to the middle of their range. This will allow a slight adustment up or down to preference after the gain is set. I'm assuming the sub level control on the deck falls under the "level control knob" classification. Good job guys!

Sorry for bumping an few month old thread... but why would you want to set your deck's Sub Volume Control to half way? On my Eclipse HU it had 8v pre outputs.. 1/2 would only be 4v. Because.... the more voltage to your RCAs the louder you get at a lower volume with less distortion. And less distortion keeps your equipment happy. Bass boost isn't Sub Volume Control. So what am I missing?

Nathan Daniel Galen Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 well I feel lucky, my dumbass for whatever reason was connecting the dd-1's ground clip to the output ground *facepalm*, I might go check the tuning now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
