Mobileaudio25 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 My friend is running a 16 v setup in his jeep. If we hook his amp up to a 12v battery and set the gain with a regular DD-1 and then switch it back to his 16v system the amp will still be properly gained right? Trying to not buy the DD-1 hv if we don't have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubNDodge Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Just leave the amp hooked up the the 16v setup. If the amp doesn't put out over 15kw when tuning with the dd.1 then you will be ok. You only need the dd.1 hv for when you are running more than 15kw. Edit: I should also add that when tuning, if the amp is capable of putting out a 15kw clipped signal than you will need a dd.1 hv. i.e. if the amp is capable of putting out a clean 10kw and when tuning it you go past the max undistorted point, it can very quickly reach 15kw. I believe Steve had a video with a dc 9k discussing this a bit.
