Just cause you used a dd-1 doesn't mean it's the end of clipping

Using the -10db track increases the possibility of clipping cause all songs are at different volumes

So if a dd-1 doesnt stop clipping and distortion why is it highly sold and used? Is it a "kinda of sorta of distortion dectector?" Smh

I'm guessing you don't know how the dd1 works. It doesn't matter if you use the dd1, if you play the wrong type of music you can still be clipping

I have a dd-1 and use it and recommend it to my friends or anybody I can

After your done setting your gains you still have to keep an eye on your system this is were the ear comes in if your within your setting and you can hear/see distortion/bottoming out back it off a lil bit

Dd-1 and some common sense=FTW

there are a few things that screw with you after the tune from a dd-1 like moving anything up on the EQ after tuning or playing already clipped music or dropping voltage. sundown rates the E at 400 watts and they know it takes 700 clean to kill it so when they see a thermal failure they know its user error.

I dont know why everyone has been bashing the DD1. If you watch the videos that Steve and Tony have made you will realize that its is essentially an O-Scope with a dummy light. It shows when you have a clipped or distorted signal when used properly, 99 percent of the dd1 problems are user error. Even if you used a 0db track and used an o-scope, depending on what track you are listening to and how you set up the headunit/eq will still be able to clip at certain frequencies and burn up your drivers.
