6berry Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Last night I was setting someone's gains on their bass amp with the dd1 and their door speakers were powered by the headunit. When I played the 40hz tone it was being played by the components which I know isn't good for them. Is there any way around this besides unplugging the speakers?

HatersGonnaHate Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I think that is the only way to do it. Unless there is an option on the HU to fade them out, but I think it'll only fade front or rear. Not both. Unplug em, just to be safe IMO.

Decaf Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 set HPF as high as possible for that test while doing 40hz, making sure that the rca going to the sub amp is not affected by that filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattc3366 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Another way I was thinking is what if you faded all to the rear and unplugged the rear speakers because those are the easiest to access? Would this work too?

Decaf Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 the best option would be to test the unit without speakers connected at all before complete installation of the headunit but you can also test the headunits internal amp if you test that way, connecting the positive probe to one of the speaker leads off the headunit. then if you choose to have tweeters/stock speakers still connected you know how high you can go because it will almost always be lower than the distortion point of the rcas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Hz.wav Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) fade the speakers to the REAR LEFT, then just simply unhook the positive or negative speaker wire to it then you can set the amp with the speakers off.

c.director Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 If your HU has two harness (one for power and one for speakers) you can just unplug it there.
