matt14 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Re test the 4 channel and see if it starts to do the same thing. If it doesnt, then there could be something wrong with your bass amp? Any friends with equipment to test the dd1 with? I will try that out tomorrow. What could be wrong with the amp? What type of equipment? Equipment as in do you know anyone that has amps and such in the car that you can test the dd1 with to make sure that something isnt wrong with your amp. Im not saying that there cant be something wrong with the DD1. I think that that t his would be easiest thing to do. Im not sure what could be wrong with the amp, just throwing out some suggestions.

Trill985 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I tested out my DD-1 on my high amps. It worked just as good as the first day I set them. Im not sure what is going on with the sub amp. Maybe it is setting correctly but when I did the old sub amp that I had the gain was set alot higher than what it is with this one. Not sure what could be going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEVY4X4BLAZER Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Soooooo.... Tune amps with engine off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt14 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 When I tuned mine, I checked both running and off and Diddnt make a differance. To be safe, tune car not running. So it looks like something is going in with your sub amp then.

Even if they are the same model the gain won't be in the exact spot on both Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
