Wolf4Life Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) I just recived my SMD DD-1 and I can say I'm totally stoked and can't wait to test it on my Clarion DPX11500 and my JBL 150.4. Will do an update on how it turns out I am curious to see what my two JL W7 8" can really do, they alredy out due two 12" type-rs I used to have SPL wise and the SQ kills the type-rs.

Wolf4Life Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Well love the DD-1 so far just sad now that I know I need to get a head unit. I hooked the DD-1 up to the head unit first at 40Hz and about lvl 3 on the volume the distortion light came and no signal light. So I tried a -db no go either so I tried 1kHz worked fine. So then I tried from the amp same results 40Hz bad 1kHz ok up to lvl 28 of 35 not the best but probably cause I have a factory head unit with a cheap Wal-Mart high to low converter. So it is either converter or the head unit probably the converter but I need a new head unit anyways. I tried on my other car on a JVC head unit and worked great both 40Hz-1kHz where 48 of 50. Looking forward to redoing my car as time/money permits and seeing what good sound really is since I thought my crap that I now know is bad sounded great. I know now why I never could set it with the TPI-440 and the shine-wave was always crazy. Thanks again Steve, Tony, and Juan for a great product, looking forward to the CC-1 and if not too pricey the AD-1 to play with.

Those line level converters are really starting to show their ugly heads with the DD-1. Some of them distort the low frequencies pretty bad. Someone needs to invent a proper one.

Wolf4Life Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 did you set the all the settings on the radio to 0...? bass sublevel, and all that good stuff? Yea I had everything to 0 on the HU when I tryed directly from the RCAs off the converter, and from the amp the infrasonic was 10 the lowest I could go, and the x-over what like 250 the higest I could go. The 1kHz was ok just the 40Hz the distort light came on on lvl 3 and the signal light never came on. Thats why I tryed it in my other car on my JVC HU to be sure and on both 1kHz-40Hz it came on at 48-50 so I know its the converter or the stock HU. But thanks for the input.
