Swordlordboy1234 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Did you read what I posted above? You are overthinking this way too much. The dd-1 detects a signal. That's it. It doesn't matter if it is in phase or 180 degrees reversed. All it sees is a sine wave. In some amps, the signal will come out of the negative terminal instead of the positive one. It's just a design. You don't need to do anything special like reversing your polarity because the manufacturers have already accounted for this. Just wire your speakers up like normal. If you like the way your setup sounds now after you tweaked with the polarity, that's something different. But to wire everything up in phase all you need to do is wire + to + and - to - lol. Don't over think it It says in the manual to check the negative if you get no signal from the positive. Well ill switch it back and take a listen. I did the 1 thing your not supposed to do when testing audio..... I changed more then 1 variable. Lol... I changed the volume point on my headunit to a known cleaner signal, I changed my gain settings to match my new deck level, and I changed the polarity of 2 of the channels according to the DD1.... So I guess I should switch between on polarity and off polarity and take a listen to pink Floyd the wall, and maybe some Michael Jackson (my go to SQ songs) lol Quote My old YouTube channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/SwordLords1234?feature=mhee My old build log : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161872-96-accord-b2-sundown-sky-high-dc-power-re-re-build-for-heatwave/page-37 My New Build - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/207041-2016-mazda-6-sql-build/ 2016 Mazda 6 Touring JL Fix 86 - OEM signal correction B2 prototype DSP 6to8 B2 Ref63 - 3 way active set 2 B2 Class H quattro's 1 B2 Zero.5R @.5 2 B2 HNv3 12 d2 B2 SLIP40 - Lithium in the trunk Northstar Group 35 under the hood 100ft 2/0 welding cable 30ft 4ga welding cable 20ft 8ga welding cable All stinger OFC speaker wire Soundrive custom RCA's Tons of attention to detail....

Don't over think it If it comes out of the negative how does that effect passive crossovers??

Swordlordboy1234 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 If its any consolation.... Lowering from 60 - 56 resulted in way better everything. My doors are louder, my upper mid bass doesn't distort anymore where I used to hear it slightly. And the bass.... Omg... The bass is stupid loud now. I think it has to do with the dd1 finding distortion due to my improper level on the headunit, so my gains were lower then they should have been.

I even double checked my RCA's and used my fader balance to make sure fading right went to the right side front and back and I also did the same for front to back to make sure nothing was mixed up Quote My old YouTube channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/SwordLords1234?feature=mhee My old build log : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161872-96-accord-b2-sundown-sky-high-dc-power-re-re-build-for-heatwave/page-37 My New Build - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/207041-2016-mazda-6-sql-build/ 2016 Mazda 6 Touring JL Fix 86 - OEM signal correction B2 prototype DSP 6to8 B2 Ref63 - 3 way active set 2 B2 Class H quattro's 1 B2 Zero.5R @.5 2 B2 HNv3 12 d2 B2 SLIP40 - Lithium in the trunk Northstar Group 35 under the hood 100ft 2/0 welding cable 30ft 4ga welding cable 20ft 8ga welding cable All stinger OFC speaker wire Soundrive custom RCA's Tons of attention to detail....
