THEKINGsBACK Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Ok so I just got a dd-1 yesterday tired it 4-5 times and then again today, but I've yet to find a signal.. Head unit is a pioneer 980bt amp is a fosgate 800-4 bd.. I watch all the videos, read the manual even searched the forum.. But dammit to no avail. I cut the gain now freq all the way up . Clip to amp ground and positive probe in to amp.. I don't even get a signal if the rcas are directly plugged in to the dd-1 please help Edited November 26, 2013 by THEKINGsBACK Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbeljefe Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Check that the subwoofer control on your head unit is turned to max. Also, are you able to get a distortion light but just no signal light? I've had that happen on some LOCs.

bassman619 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 What kind of rcas do you have ? And are you setting a bass amp or 4ch amp. It is probably the rcas not grounding to the dd1 right or you could be using the wrong track..track 1 is 40 htz to test head unit clipping from rcas for bass.. track 2 is 1k htz to test head unit clipping from rcas for highs..I had a problem like this from my jl audio rcas..they were either too loose on the grounding ring of the rcas or too big...is the device turning on? It doesnt come included with batteries..u gotta remove the rubber case and put a 9v batt in the back..testing the head unit you have to turn the volume on the head unit up until u see a signal.then until u see distortion..If you have done all of this and still no signal I would suggest buying a cheap 3ft rca wire and pulling the headunit out..connect the 3ft to your preouts on the headunit and then from there to the dd1 and see if you still dnt see a signal. Its not very often the dd1 will be defective..they test them before they sell them.

Kyblack76 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Lets start here. Are you trying to get a signal through the amp? What signal? The 40 or the 1k ? I HATE going through the amp. I dont see why youd get a DD1, and then go throught the amp.,, but,.. anyway, lets start here. Answer those, and we will move on Edited November 26, 2013 by KyLar96 Quote SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnrookie Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Set your crossovers to full range on your headunit. Turn lpf and hpf off if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) you said you are testing a 4 channel, you put the dd-1 probe on "-" of either left or right, not positive edit: Also, some rca's have a hard time plugging all the way into the DD-1, so that may be part of why you don't get signal off the rca's Edited November 26, 2013 by strangeduck Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

mnrookie Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 He also said he tried connecting the rca directly to the dd1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
