Jville140db Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 So I finally got to use the SMD CC-1 on a vehicle just a few days ago. As most of you know I love the DD-1 and how easy it is to use. The setup I retuned was a JBL CS330.1 which has a crossover that goes from 32-320hz with no marking in between. On a Kicker 10CVR104 in a sealed box. Run off a stock head unit. After I set the line out and gains up. I set to work with the CC-1. The instructions are very well written and thought out. Although the instruction booklet is almost unnecessary. I'll get to that in a min. So with the CC-1 wired up and the 100hz track selected as the crossover point I wanted. I proceeded to set the crossover. Now if you think using the DD-1 is fast to use to setup gains. The CC-1 setup for your crossovers is even faster. Its like comparing a Lexus ISF to a Lexus LFA. (ahhhh you see what I did there lol) In regards of setup time. Before I knew it I was done and the crossover was set. The CC-1 is also so easy to use. After you use it once you really only need the manual for the track list. Hence the previous statement. Unless you memorize that too lol. The crossover had been set at right about half before I did the retune and the gain was about 3/4 up off the lowest settings. After the retune crossover was at 1/3 of a turn off the lowest setting and so was the gain. The customer said it sounded so much better and was louder than before. In closing I must say that both tools have earned there merits with me. Both tools are stupid easy to use, do exactly what they claim to do and cost a fraction of what expensive scopes and meters do. I can only shutter to think of how some people tune amps anymore. Given they don't have a ton of expensive test equipment. Which most of us don't. But I'll be sure to tell you one thing. If it rolls out of my bay or garage and it has an amp in it. You can be rest assured that the amps were setup up with the DD-1 and the CC-1. Thanks again to Tony, Steve and Juan. You guys are life savers. Not only did you make my job easier you also made my customers cars along with my personal cars sound so much better. Keep up the great work guys. I'll post more as time goes on and I'm able to use them more.
