fyerbyrd22 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) maybe its just me but when it comes to different headunits, im confused on where to keep the bass settings, subwoofer settings, etc...for example, i just swapped my gfs apsm-1300 (1k but i had the gain VERY low bc of a 40a fuse under the hood) for a apsm-1500 (1.5k, added a new fuse and wiring), i used the DD-1 to set her headunit and amp and i thought i did it correct...im pretty sure tho, that something is wrong bc the headunit started to clip, according to the DD-1 at 27 out of 35 on the headunit (kenwood kdc-448u) and im not sure if it louder...i have the subwoofer all the way up (+13) and the bass at 0 (-8 to +8 )....basically, i need to know if i set it right??...also, if we can update and add to this thread for all headunits so users know EXACTLY what setting to use for their specific headunit, that would be much easier for ppl Edited March 24, 2012 by fyerbyrd22 Quote personal build in progress http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188656-2013-kia-sorento-6-12-no-wall/ www.facebook.com/TurbulentDesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Set it where you are going to use it. If you will play it with the subwoofer up all the way, set it like that If you play it with the sub at zero, set it like that.

SnowDrifter Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) well which is the "correct" spot to set it at? The way you are using it. If you don't have a bass knob, set it with the subwoofer level all the way up so you can adjust the bass on the head unit. If you do have one, just set it at zero.

n8ball2013 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 No not the bass the sublevel.

01ExSport Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 No not the bass the sublevel. You are over thinking it. 27 is your clean max volume what'd so bad about that x2! I'm rocking a cde-123 and hoping i can get that high after i get a dd-1. I heard mine usually goes to about 24 or so, though. We'll see...

Decaf Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 check 1000hz... if it doesn't clip at 27 on 1000hz then keep turning sub level down until both sub rcas and mids/highs rcas clip on same volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
