Ok so I love how well it tunes to the maximum amp power, but I was wondering if you guys would ever consider releasing another disc or a different dd-1 that could accomodate to tuning to .5 or .1% distortion for amplifiers
my speaker amp is rated at .03% distortion at 14.4 volts so I was just wondering if that would ever be possible to run close to it's distortion rating

using the said tones on the current disk tunes to .1%thd.

Since each of the 3 tracks are a lower decibal level so when you play a normal track that is not -5 or -10 db it is louder.

If you want to, you can use the dd-1 with the woofers hooked up at said impedance, and it will work just fine.

But be aware your woofers will start to get loud as you turn the gain up so you may want to do it out of town in a parking lot.

Also if you tune the gain with your woofers connected and use the -5db track, it will be closer to -3, and you will have slighhtly less overlap in power as you woulld with the woofers disconnected.

I just tuned 4 Sundown SA-18s with an Atomic 7000.1 wired at .5 with the woofers connected, deffinitly somethhing you dont want to do in your driveway. ;)

Different tracks don't change the level of distortion at which the dd-1 detects.

now exactly what would that achieve between the different tones?
