I got to use my DD-1 for the first time today. And it worked like a charm when i found the max volume on my brother's radio until clipping. But when i went to set his gain i had some issues. I dont think it was the DD-1s fault at all. I think its the cheap amp my bro got.

Radio EQ was flat

gain all the way down on the amp

Set it on track 5 for a good median of good sounding bass and loud bass

Got the signal light

got the 40hz detect

then started turning the gain up to find distortion and at a certain point it looses the 40hz and signal

Then i turn it back down and it pics them up again

Turn it all the way up and never find any Distortion

THEN we got the buzzing sound everyone seems to be getting but that was only because it turned to track 6.

His amp is an Autotek ATX1600.2 2 Channel 1600 Watt Maxx Amplifier

So am i doing something wrong is is his amp just kinda crappy? which is what im thinking it is.

Thanks Guys
