viper1315 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I understand how to use it Fully the only question is if your using a bass knob you put it to half when your testing with the DD-1 and what about the deck gains and frequencies does that come into play ever when your testing? should you set them and then test or just turn them all the way down because you know that it will not clip when you turn them up again?

Mikey Bates Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) I understand how to use it Fully the only question is if your using a bass knob you put it to half when your testing with the DD-1 and what about the deck gains and frequencies does that come into play ever when your testing? should you set them and then test or just turn them all the way down because you know that it will not clip when you turn them up again? deck Freq flat. bass treble everything flat. and processors or anything flat/off. open filters on amp all the way. set bass boost where you want it on amp. and is it a gain knob or bass boost knob? if its gain then right in the middle. just know when you pass it, it is giving distortion to the sub. . . if you dont need the extra space for it then do it with it all the way up.

Socky Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 When using the knob, set the knob at full volume and adjust the gain from the amp until it starts to distort.
