CstrokerV Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 ive been looking at the mmats proaudio m3000.1d http://www.mmatsproaudio.com/pdfs/2009%20Manuals/M3000.05D%20&%20M3000.1D.htm and the thd is 3% which im assuming is at rated power. ( trying to think how to ask the question ) If i used the dd-1 is what it detects and that t.h.d the same thing.? so setting gain with the dd-1 the rated output wouldn't be achieved ? not sure if i worded that right hope you get the idea of what im trying to say Quote my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCP Audio Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Alot of amps dont do rated power, and some do more then rated, i cant say for your amp but my guess is no, you wont be getting rated. but with the dd1 at least what you are getting is clean Quote PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CstrokerV Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 well i know alot of amps don't do rated but if the amp does rated at 3% thd and the dd-1 sets it at 1% then what would be the best thing to do and... most amps rate there amps at 1% thd so them rating them at 3% wasn't expecting to be as clean as an amp that was ... have not bought the amp just always wanted one especially now that you can get them powder coated Quote my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 The dd-1 detects a tone at 1% THD to set your gain overlap. Simple answer is treat it like normal. There is no difference. Long answer.... Meh... Too lazy tonight. I'll type it out tomorrow if you really want to know Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hammer Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Why not use the -10 or -15db test tone instead of 0. I used 0 on my amp, but because I am overpowering my subs already. I'm not too worried about every last bit of power. I don't know how you could figure out how much distortion percentage wise you would actually be allowing with the other tones though. You ahv ea good question my friend, I'm definitely in for a long answer/explanation.
