donpablo Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 So got my dd1 yesterday set all my gains found out my head unit doesnt clip but my question is after all the gains are set is it ok to mess with the eqs on the deck and like the subwoffer lvl and such Quote 2015 F-150 Platnuim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Gain should be set with sub level at max. Xovers and such can be readjusted after setting gain. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nascarguy301 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 You should max out everything that your going to before you set it up Quote Bose = Buy other sound equipment. i love the rattle it's the best part! i need louder cheap amp any ideas?

donpablo Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I had the sub lvl maxed bass knob 3/4 eq flat loudness off For some reason i just expected my gain to be higher right now it distorts at 1/4 Quote 2015 F-150 Platnuim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nascarguy301 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 All amps are different. Your getting RMS power. Anything more doesnt matter Quote Bose = Buy other sound equipment. i love the rattle it's the best part! i need louder cheap amp any ideas?

Decaf Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 if you RAISE EQ levels after using DD-1 you can clip/distort if you are using the pioneer in your sig your sub level should be 0, not max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrd6 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 ^that is unless he wants to be able to adjust sub level through the headunit right? In that case he should set it to whatever max he will put it at and then he can know he is safe at that point but not above...

matt14 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 ^^ this. Ive been wondering the same thing. I've been having my eq set to were i like it prior to setting the gains. Another question is why not to use the "loudness" setting. I use it, prior to setting gains Quote 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
