OrionStang Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 When using the CC-1 to gain match my two sub amps, does it matter which one I take the initial reading from? Or should I take the initial reading from the one with more(or less) gain? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Good question. IMO i would use a DMM and match off the lowest power. So whichever amp reads the lowest volume at maxed unclipped signal would be where i start. In for answer Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

n8ball2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Less gain. Less output voltage.

Or should I take the initial reading from the one with more(or less) gain?less. This way the smaller one doesn't get turned UP to match the bigger one, possibly putting it in the distortion range. I have found though that when using the DD-1, the gain didn't have to be moved very much at all for perfect calibration with the CC-1. But definitely use the smaller one as reference, you shouldn't have to turn the other one down but a hair at the most.
