Hunters21w Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Finally got to use my DD-1 that I bought for X-mas for myself. I had a plan that the first time I used it I would take a ton of pictures and let people know the pros and cons... I would've taken pictures had it taken longer. It took me all of like 5 minutes from start to finish! Checked my buddies Pioneer 4300 for distortion, of course it didn't at all. Changed the track to 5 I believe, turned the gain knob till it lit up which was roughly between half and 3/4 of the way on a Crescendo 3500. Done deal! I cannot believe how fast it was and how much different it sounds. We had tuned it with the DMM right before hand. 60v on a 50hz track on -10db I think it was.. roughly half on the gain. Much louder to the ear than before! After we were done I was like, shit I wanted to take some pics so hear it is. I would've taken more but we just wanted to hear it while the past gain setting were still fresh in our ears lol He has 3 15" Crossfire XS v2s and they really needed that extra power we gave it. We are going to throw in another 3500 to hear the difference on double the power. All in all, the directions were very simple and straight forward. I cannot believe I used to tune with a DMM, never again. Great product! On a side note, good idea on the unit shutting off when not in use haha I straight left it in the garage as soon as we were done to go driving!

Hunters21w Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nobody cares? Lol. Today I'll take some better pics and maybe a vid. I want to redo the gain setting so it's -5db @ 40hz since he plays alot of decaf music and it's recommended to not clip. Stay tuned Quote 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters21w Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Forsure. A couple buddies have been hitting me up to tune their amps too so I'll show some pics of that when I do it. They may not like it tho as I'm sure they crank their gains lol Quote 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
