not everyone likes the dd-1? some rude comments

[03 Xtreme Fosgate]

So after all that, he isn't blaming the DD-1 at all?

who knows,that guy can't seem to make up his mind.. I can't wait til Steve gets that 1500 to see what's going on.

I believe his final conclusions were that it was probably the improper use of the dd-1 that caused the amp to fail.

Also, he wasn't saying he would not warranty an amp if the dd-1 was used on it. He just said if the amp blew from user errors via the dd-1 or anything, it is not warrantable.

So if the amp blows for users errors while usin a scope, then it's ok?

^^ he's using the dd-1 as an example, people aren't going to warranty equipment due to user error that causes it to fail

From what I read he said if you used a DD-1 to set your amp period and it blew up then he would not warranty it after the first time,unless he's changed his tune

Sure, that is common sense, why even mention it. But he never mentioned scopes that mess up amps, only the DD-1. And he DID blame them on the DD-1, only to say it was user error later. He even went as far as to tell people to prove him wrong that it wasn't the DD-1 .

guys, just to let you know, i don't think even user error plus DD-1 equals amp failure. The DD-1 is COMPLETELY out of the equation. It is not physically doing any damage. If someone uses a scope, or DD-1, or DMM to set his gains, it is still up to him to have a proper setup to begin with and its always nice to have a reliable product too. I know a few brands that i have seen smoke over and over again over the years and it has NOTHING to do with whether the gain input was matched to the deck output properly. It has to do with reliability of the brand and the user. Its almost like blaming the screw driver for an amp blowing because you turned the gain up a little.

I can't think of any way, even if i did it on PURPOSE, how a DD-1 can blow an amp up. Is it possible to stick the probe in the speaker terminal and bend it in a 180, and still reach the case of the amp? I mean if someone did that, i still don't see how its the DD-1's fault.

i took a short glance at that thread again, against my better judgement, and wow, they got some nerve. Talking about how Tony's last job was at Boss and how he only made a shitty amp with lots of caps in it. What a bunch of moron's. Don't forget, Tony AND Juan were both engineers at RF for years. Thats ROCKFORD FOSGATE for those that don't know what RF means. Lets not talk about how the T15k is probably, if not THE cleanest, most powerful class AB car amp ever made. It is a product way ahead of its time and came at the peak of the economy taking a shit. Hence the reason so many at RF were let go. Tony needed a job and got paid very good at Boss. We worked our ASSES OFF to bring this product to market and with the success of it, they were able to quit and dedicate all their time to their own company. We are car audio NUTS and we make products we know others like us will love and we CARE about quality and customer service. After 1 1/2 years of sales, I have 100% ratings on ebay, amazon and also wcCarAudio.

If someone's amp blew because of our product we would be ALL OVER IT....

if amps were blowing from the DD-1, after selling WORLD WIDE, to every country on the planet, don't you think we would know about it? I think we would be slightly concerned.

this just in, no warranty if you used a screw driver to set your gain. DAMN! Time to grow my coke nail.

and people wonder why i don't go on the other forums anymore....
