Need dd1 pro help please

[jeffrm]

I've used the dd1 for over 2 years now and never had a problem. Im running a pioneer X5500bhs, clarion eqs746, and a ns1. (Problem is only with sub rcas). the problem I'm having is one RCA shows a clean signal but the other shows distortion before it gets a signal. no matter how I switch the RCA's on the EQ is still with the same Output on the sub out on the Eq I am wondering if The eq could be bad or could there be some other cause?

[jeffrm]

and it doesn't matter what track I use it does the same thing. all other RCA'S are clean coming out of the Eq, except the one sub out rca. And I have tried multiple rcas including sky high rcas, with no change.

Make sure all is flat....Did you try doing everything from your amp ? Do your head unit,eq,amp all from your amp..Everything FLAT

[jeffrm]

Tried that too. Gets distortion before signal. Everything is flat. Head unit was just put in and all settings left alone. Eq was set flat. Only problem im having is the one sub out rca. Thinking about changing eqs to test and see if it is the problem.

i usually put all my setting were i want them and then DD1 it. i found that when i set everything flat use the dd1 then put all my settings were i want them it distorts

No matter how I wire it or change rcas, the outcome stays the same. The one sub out rca shows distortion before it shows a 40hz signal

Ok am I reading this right? The DD1 distorts before it even gets a 40 Hz signal? How can something distort if it doesn't even have a signal yet? Sound defective or something else is wrong...

try grounding that RCA to see if that changes anything.

i understand it as the eq curve needs to be flat not on zero so i raise all the freq to the highest point of my graph then lower the ones i want to afterr using the dd-1

It reads a signal but the distortion light comes on before the 40hz detect light. Just the 1 sub out rca does it all others are clean. Ill try grounding it today to see if it helps.
