jeffrm Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 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 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) 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.

ImaNoob Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 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 Quote 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Xs3400 1500BDCP FI BL 12 3sq @ 32hz Rockford t675 T400.2 Stinger Deadner Build Log Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrm Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 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.

knowledge Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 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 Quote REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

jeffrm Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 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 Quote 03 tahoe z71 4 death penalty 18s 2 ampere audio 3800s @ .5 each 18v 156.7 @ 35hz 158.5 @ 50hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFFYBOI Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 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...

mothra Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 try grounding that RCA to see if that changes anything. Quote if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdog Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) 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 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 Edited April 10, 2014 by bdog Quote REP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrm Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 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.
