CleanSierra Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I know I'm a little behind the curve, but I received my brand new DD1 a couple days ago. No need for pics, since everyone knows what they look like. I was happy to set the gains on HU and both amps. System is much cleaner PLUS the Kenwood KDC-HD552U is clip free all the way to 35 I would like someone to give me a cool story bro, that is all. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.

Noel989 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) I also have a kenwood and mine also is clip free all the way up to 35 but my speakers start distorting after 31-32 depends on the track so I just re tune it to 30 max and go from their to be safer Btw cool story bro Edited September 29, 2012 by Noelito Quote Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I ran mine at 30 before, I set the amps to just under clipping at 32 so I have headroom. They sound much louder and they never popped before, and still dont. I'm really pleased and I had gains set in like 10-15 minutes for both amps and HU. I can't wait to setup guys around here if they want. I don't know a lot of fellow SMDers here in Phoenix, but I'm sure they'll come out of the woodwork. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.

CleanSierra Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 This is EXACTLY the cool story bro I was expecting someone to post, hahaha. Thanks for such a great tool Steve, it's really simplified the process of setting gains and knowing what's going on with a system's settings. On a side note, I must've missed it, I didn't realize these things were being assembled here in Phoenix where I live. I remember talk of coming to visit by Ray and by yourself at one point I think. I guess Tony D stuck around AZ after his days with Fosgate huh? Anyway, like I said earlier, great tool, great price, and great performance. I'm looking forward to buying and trying your other products now that I know the ease of use I've been missing out on. P.S. My girlfriend is the one that got it for me off of Amazon for my birthday and said every review she could find BLEW her mind. She's very supportive of the hobby and brags about the system and my passion to a lot of people. Anyone ever mentions anything system related, she's there to cheerlead for me. Hell, she's even understanding the concept of my Push/pull isobaric after explaining it to her a couple times. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

rockFord_Expedition Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Good story. If I ever make the trip up the 10 I will definitely look you up. How did you set your gains prior to the dd-1? How far off we're you?

CleanSierra Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I had them set by the good ole ear-o-meter. I wasn't hardly off on the mono amp at all. The highs amp was able to be turned up quite a bit though. It's nice having a clip free HU seriously. I can set wherever the highs start to get a little out of hand and back off a little.
