Am i DD-1'ing the right way?

[Jessica]

I prefer my h/u sub out at 0, the range is -7 to +7. just a prefence.

Set it and forget it. You have a gain knob right? use it.

i set mine with my gain knob at half cause some songs have less bass, some have more. Steve did his the same way. Just have to be careful with it that's all.

It's important whether or not your bass knob is a gain or boost.

I think all hu are diff on the base lvl thing ive heard alpines you turn all the way up when setting as for pioneer you get at 0 thats what i set mine at if you turn the base lvl up to 6 it makes the bass all muddy

ok but do you keep it the same throughout the whole process?

thought the dd-1 would be easy to use...this will be my second time tuning my shit with it.. hopefully it goes smoother than last time.

Yes where ever you set it while using the dd1 if you change it after you will be getting distortion

Same here, muddy bass.

You have an PEQ, so its a gain knob, i assume it's a fosgate peq.

edit. No, um. lol, thats a bass boost knob, sorry i don't own a fosgate amp but i think someone else better chime in.

so when looking for HU clipping do i keep the PEQ at 0 or halfway?

and when setting the bass amp do i keep it at 0 or halfway?

yes its the rockford one

[donpablo]

Yes set every thing with peq halfway and base lvl at 0

My bad i.think thats a boost knob. Some one who knows more should chime in at this point cause i don't want to guess at that.

Here is the deal, when you have a gain knob, it just controls all the volume, with a bass boost knob it boosts output centred at one frequency. They work different, therefore requiring different approaches.

I don't know enough about RF amps to say which yours is so i will leave that to someone more knowledgeable.
