daveman Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 How do you go about using the DD-1 on a JL Audio HD series amp? I could hook the DD-1 up to the speaker outputs and find the max undistorted voltage level, but putting that into different speakers with different impedances will cause massively different power levels. How do I use the DD-1 to find the max clean power I can give to eg a 3Ohm load? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 different impedances causes different power on every amp. Why do you think this one is different?

daveman Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Because the amp is rated at 150W/channel regardless of impedance. They have JLs "RIPS" circuit. They are not rated for 150W @ 4 Ohm, 300W @ 2 Ohm etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Oh that is one of those. You still do the same thing.

Skullz Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 It only detects distortion in the amp so any clean signal in will be clean signal out regardless of the ohm load the amp is at.

n8ball2013 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 its the same thing. The bcp amps from RF do the same thing.

belizeanlow Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 i did it for my JL AUDIO HD600/4 and JL AUDIO HD1200/1 and works fine clean power and fast to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
