matt14 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I received my DD-1 for christmas and set the gains on all 3 of my amps that day with no problem. I bought a new sub amp today and plugged it up with the settings like it was from the previous owner. It sounded awesome but I wanted to tune it with the DD-1 to make sure I was distortion free. I turned the freq all the way up, left the bass boost where it was with the previous owner which was half way, hooked up the DD-1, turned the volume up the my max volume and started turning up the gain. When the distortion light came on I bumped the gain down to turn off the light and noticed that the GAIN LEVEL WAS LOWER THEN BEFORE I started tuning it. In my mind I was thinking about tuning it with track 7 and for some odd reason I turned up the gain with the DD-1 still hooked up the distortion light kicked back on then made a popping sound from where the ground and positive lead connected. I hurried up and turned the gain down all the way. I turned my radio to track 7 to tune it. I started turning up my gain and when the distortion light kicked on I bumped the gain back down to turn the light off. The gain was even lower than what it was when I did it the first time on track 3. Did I mess up the DD-1 by that popping sound? You sure that the leads were not touching eachother when they made the pop sound? Why would you care if the gain was lower then were the guy had it set at, it wasnt set correctly then.

MrSkippyJ Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 he said he used track 7 first, then tried track 3. Then went BACK to track 7 and the gain was lower when the light came on. No I started at Track 3 then went to Track 7. The gain for Track 7 was lower than what the gain was for Track 3 and that was after the popping sound. I went back to Track 3 after and the gain was even lower than what it was the first time I set it with Track 3 Eh my bad i got the tracks backwards...but i got the point right haha damn im glad u didnt. lol.... but i get what your saying but who would do that? i guess i didnt think about it because its really dumb to to that. ha my bad bro. not as dumb as ai thought. Actually the man himself told me to do it with the car not running, so the DD-1 wouldn't pick up any noise introduced into the system with the car running (ie. engine noise).

I wouldnt think the engine would provide any extra noise that would be enough to throw off the DD-1 but it might i guess. edit: i'll have to remember this when i go to use mine on my amp when my recones come in.

Nine8SST Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Wow no shit?....I'm happy you said that!! My thought process was if the car was off you would not be getting maximum voltage, thus not getting the maximum potential of your amps.... And I agree with you.....anyone with beaver balls in thier name has to be wrong all the time.......by default!
