DD1 and CC1 Order help please. Hoping to do this tonight.

[scooter99]

So I'm about to be ready to get up and running tonight. I need to figure out the order of which I need to do things.

Here is the equipment:

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet (not needed now)

Samsung Galaxy S3 (via Bluetooth connection to head unit)

Pioneer x9500BHS Headunit

Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.3

2 Crescendo bc3500's (running each separate at 1 ohm per sub)

2 Crescendo symphony 800/4's (one for mids and one for tweets now, and later adding rear fill)

So, I'm assuming this order.

First I need to DD1 the Galaxy S3 and find its clipping point separately?

Second DD1 the head unit, both in bluetooth mode (downloading the cd's onto the S3), and cd mode, or does that matter?

Third, with head unit turned up to it's max point before clipping, DD1 the 360.3 all channels to their max unclipped output.

Fourth, with the head unit and 360 turned up to their max unclipped volumes, DD1 and CC1(to gain match) the mid bass 800/4 channel amp and also DD1 the tweeter 800/4 channel amp.

Fifth and last, DD1 and CC1 (gain match) the two 3500's.

Next do I need to CC1 the 4 channel amps at all with the 360 handling the crossover settings etc. How do I set the SSF, or does that need to be done?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

I would let the 360 handle all processing and crossover points and leave the filters on the amps wide open to be honest. you have verything else down imo

[scooter99]

By wide open, and remember I'm a NOOB (LOL), do you mean turned all the way up or down? Tuning is a major weak point for me N8. I'm pretty lame! LOL

[n8ball2013]

all the way open. run the 4 channels full pass and process at the 360. f

[tacomaguy1]

open, as in full pass

control it at the processor

[scooter99]

Ok that makes sense. THanks guys!

DD1 everything with EQ at flat settings.

Once everything's max clean volume is known, tune EQ.

With a 360.3, I don't believe you'll need the CC1 at all.

Set your filters to off or full pass on every device and amp

Then get down and dirty with the 360

You dont need the DD1 either. The .3 will read and react to the hu voltage.

That said, i found my .3 xover points to be a bit off when i tested it with my CC1....

SO after re reading the manual on the 360 I see what you guys are saying on the volume max detection stuff. Says it doesn't look for a clipped signal though. But I see what's up. Its' interesting. I'm becoming more and more impressed with it. NOW, IF I COULD JUST GET THE GOD DAMN THING TO TURN ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
