KillaCam Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 There's always gonna be haters. I'll bet its all user error here. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

Gumby688 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yeah my thinking too but the guys there seem more interested in getting one of the burnt amps then finding out how they REALLY got trashed.

LZTYBRN Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Or maybe something to do with the 16 volts wouldn't you need the dd-1 hv for that? The hv is for high voltage output (high power output), input voltage doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuspeedescort Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 dd-1 hv is for amps or strapped combo's putting out more then 15k. that has nothing to do with voltage it runs on. dude is a knob. amps aren't broken by testing equipment. there is no load on the amp.

Katt Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Sounds like the same case, of i heard Techforce saying the same thing that it blew all his amps and subs. I call bullshit on that one too. Not sure if that was a rumor or if it was true. So don't hold that to me. But i don't see how the DD1 can physically blow anything. Its just a testing / setting device. Like Neu said. All user error over there.

audiofanaticz Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Probably another idiot not knowing how to use a simple tool.... Ive set over 30+ amps, more realistically closer to 50 if not more in the last year of various brands, inlcuding a good 15 sundown amps such as 1500s,2500s,3500s, 4500s, NS-1s (not including doing some a couple times when installs have changed),and not once have I had an issue with ANY Brand amp frying from the DD-1.... If amps blow from using the dd-1, than they will blow from using a Oscilloscope, or a Digital Multimeter, or any other time you set the subwoofer gain with the amp turned on and the woofers disconnected. I had some old SPL Dynamic's amps do go kinda cooky nuts when the amps are on and producing power with no load on the amplifier. However I never seen one that instantly went up in smoke, if a problem arises the protection circuit would catch the problem until the amp power is cycled on and off, and they never blew from that issue alone. Even my old American Bass 150.1s went up in smoke one time when I was at mcdonalds in the drive thru and the volume was turned down to place an order and play. By the time I left mcdonalds and turned my stereo up I had no bass.. Turned out there was a bad or weak gate resistor that blew and took out a mosfet.. Morel of the story is, amps come and go, some last for ever, while some parts get weaker over time... There is no "smart" or "dumb" amp, only smart and dumb users, that amp is only doing what you tell it to do, just like your woofer. When you do something stupid your gear is going to be paying for it and so is your wallet. Example If your running a 1ohm stable amp at .5 ohms daily your weakening the components inside the amplifier over time and could blow at any time... This is why I hate buying used amps, let alone used amps from people I do not personally know! You and I dont know this guys system, or the abuse he put it thru... He could of pounded the shit out of those amps for years at .25 ohms, and the amps finally said fuck you, so in this guys attempt to not look like a complete idiot he goes and blames it on someone or something else.. Im now locking this thread, because nothing good can come from it... Just another idiot in the audio field, and on those forums a idiot is a dime a dozen... wait take that back almost every person on that site is pretty much a tard nowadays it seemed. All their skilled helpful people have left that site for others, while all that are left are trolls, and noobs that claim to do 155db from a trunk of their car with a pair of 10 inch alpine type rs in a sealed box...
