b0r Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Is there returns? I purchased this to ensure I got the most out of my 12....not to be sitting in a 115 degree car trying to figure out wtf to do. The instructions are really clear and the device appears to be functioning as intended, but that's not my problem. My problem is, I hooked the DD-1 up to my ground and the + on my subwoofer amplifier to get the headunit set. I put the CD in, put it on track 1 and off we go upping the volume, right? The lights come on as they are supposed to, but my 4 interior speakers go NUTS. N-U-T-S. They are almost louder than my subwoofer. No biggie, just disconnect them right? I took my dash apart to find that my headunits speaker inputs are combined with the power inputs, so I can't just "unplug" them, and they are very well installed by me with heatshrink tubing and all. So what do I do? By the time I get to 20 on my headunit, the 2 lights are lit up, no distortion light, and my speakers sound like they are about to blow out of the door. My sub has been fine for well over a year with heavy listening, I just wanted to maximize and ensure I wasn't clipping, but it's turning out to be more of a headache than it's worth. What can I do besides cut my wires and reinstall everything when it's done? That's really a last resort and I'll probably sell the thing for $100 instead of tearing my already-working system apart. I already screwed up the gains I had set by setting everything to 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallTruk Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 So disconnect the wire at the speakers themselves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiojunkie23 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Get better speakers is what I would suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodcody Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 has it applied to you to maybe unhook the speakers from the speaker wire? it takes about 10-15 minutes to take all the door panels off, just a suggestion. It's not the dd-1's fault that you installed everything the way you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineeDBass419 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 do you have everything set to 0 on the hu?i turned my bass all the way down to -8 because thats where i keep it.i could hear a little bass through my speakers when i first used the dd1.dont have that problem anymore running them through a amp.i suggest u dd1 the speaker outputs on the hu itself also since you are using them.they will distort beafore your rca outputs Quote xbox 360 gamertag-greenrocks420 Not insulting you or anything, but did you just call us "bloody winging fairies" ?

C-Fizzy Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 LOL. here we go again, another guy with less than 10 posts that wants to return his dd-1 because he can't figure out what he did wrong. "my speakers sound like shit now so it must be the dd-1's fault!" Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

b0r Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm not blaming the DD-1 for anything at all. I apologize if that was taken from my post. It's just too much of a headache to start tearing the car apart when I've seen videos and everything where nobody disconnects their speakers. Why is the test tone so bass'y? Maybe I should just reset the headunit to factory in case I missed some settings that are making it too loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 im more confused as to why your mids are playing 40hz instead of having a cutoff...

t-money Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 well the speaker outputs are going to distort b4 the preouts do. thats normal. get a 4 channel or find the unclipped volume of the speakers and set your subs from that volume Quote 2002 ford focus hatch pioneer DEH-P8400bh infinity kappa 6.5 components front and rear XS Power D1200 Shuriken BT-100 audioque 120.4 2 15 inch audioque HDC3 D2 2 audioque 2200d big 3 mechman 220a alt with external regulator 479-418-3056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 im more confused as to why your mids are playing 40hz instead of having a cutoff... I was wondering the same thing? I don't have an amp hooked up to my mids, but why is the HU playing 40hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
