JZeFF Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Just over the weekend i added an new-old JBL crossover to my system... Obviously was not that difficult of a task. However, prior to the crossover being installed i had my gains on my DC 175.4 tuned with my DD1. This crossover has gain knobs on it for the front/rear channel... Where do i want these to be set? Does it even matter if they are turned up all the way if the gains on the amp are properly set.

siucsaluki11 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 you need to set the gains on the crossover, then reset them on your amp Quote woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

JZeFF Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Are you positive on this? There was a video Meade posted on youtube showing how to use the DD1 with a crossover he purchased for testing purposes. In the video he found max volume on the HU, found max gain on the 4 channel, and then set the gain on the XO to max At least thats what i got out of it after watching it last night. I just realized i probably should have posted this in the DD1 section, if a mod can move it for me i would appreciate it.

OrionStang Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Using the dd-1, it shouldn't take too long. Unless your amps are hard to get to. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBleedMusick Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 May I ask why you added a crossover to the system? Isn't the 175.4 active capable so the addition of the crossover would do what for you? When I had my clarion crossover in my car I measured just to see by plugging the rca's into the DD1 from the crossover and at max volume I was undistorted because I had the same question as you with Meade's video.

Thanks guys. its all good, but its signal flow man. Check from the start and work your way down the line. In this case, start at HU, go to EQ/XO, then amp...
