Alvi45 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 how are dd1`s messing up amps? i have used mine in alot amps from cheap to expensive amps and i never had any issues. i went to a local car show and i pulled out my dd1 showing a friend and people at the comp had me set there amps with it everyone was happy. so whoever "claims" the dd1 screwed there amps are totally bogus user error.the only amp i couldnt tune was a warhorse and after researching the warhorse i found out y. its that people need something to blame , they just don't want to take the time to actually diagnose or say it was user error so they blame something that they don't know about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R James Trapp Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I tuned my 2 sundown amps yesterday with my dd-1 and what a difference! Out of a volume that goes to 50, my jvc is clean all the way to 48 at both frequency tests. My wife's pioneer 9400 out of 60, hers was clean to 57. That's pretty damn good I think. Jvc gets bashed but I got the kd- avx49 arsenal with 5 volt preout and it is clean. I put a saz1500v2 in my truck and a sax125.4 in my wife's truck and both sound so much cleaner and clear after the dd-1. I think where the dd-1 was most helpful for us was using different brand amps with different gain characteristics. I'm running a zx850.4 and the wife has the RF 5001bd, 2006 model that's still hangs with the new stuff and still doesn't even get warm when you beat the hell out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people have the same results because for the first time in the history of their life, they have also set the gain RIGHT. glad you love the product! thanks a lot for the feedback 1 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

R James Trapp Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've never used any tool to set my gains before. Always ear-o-meter. But still at that, I really wasn't clear on what the gains purpose was until I started reading on this forum and caco. I knew it wasn't a volume knob but up until I watched your and Tony's videos I wasn't sure where to set them. The dd-1 makes it simple for a newb like myself. Now my local shop that I've used for years wants to try it out so I'm gonna drop it off. They may invest in a cc-1 and dd-1. The are an arc dealer and built Howard Avery's sema truck and Steve (the owner of Sound Advice) was telling me its a bitch to gain match multiple amps and I told him about the cc-1 and the gain match mode and he was very interested. Thanks for the great products! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSoundz Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 This thread was helpful because I used my DD1 and CC1 to set my gains and crossovers on my SAZ 1200D. The only thing is that the red prong went on the speaker negative instead of the speaker positive. The DD1 and CC1 are good investments.
