DD-1 first time user - this thing is boss


Recommended Posts

IMG_20140712_162153_901_zpsdb4dc554.jpg

Swapped decks to the 80prs so it was time to retune the amps. The last time I dialed in my system was a LONG time ago using my velleman hps10 and autosound 2000 disc. After seeing the dd1 go head to head with some super fancy scopes I knew that if I ever changed decks I would get one.

Tuning with the DD-1 was as easy as it looked in the videos. I followed the manual and got the max undistorted volume of 60/62 on the prs (standard mode). Went to the mids/highs amp and dialed it in. Went to the woofers amp and dialed in. I probably spent more time looking for the prs remote then I did setting everything up. All in all I was impressed with the DD-1 and I'm glad I got it.

So from a first time user, just wanted to say that this thing is boss. Good job!. B)

I had one a while back and did my levels, but I had let it go and since then I have made a few changes to the system so I needed one again... So i agree with the "you'll only use it once" to be BS also... That and I have a few folks down here that I will be helping to set there stuff up...

Good news for me... Just scored a DD1 and CC1 last night for a great price...

i set someone elses gains once. They changed it like 1 hour later. i set my gains about a year ago and my dd-1 has about 1 year worth of dust on it. I wont set anyone elses gains ever again. My equipment still works, theirs' is long gone.

Moral of the story, dd-1 is worth keeping around regardless of how often you use it

I use mine a lot, switching 0 db to -10 and everything inbetween. Every time I pull an amp out the vehicle I use the DD-1 when putting it back in even though nothing should have changed. I use it time to time just to make sure things are the same as I am anal about my setting being right. Also, I use the CC-1 for frequency setting and gain matching so that I use a LOT more.

Thinking of getting one but don't know if I should get a 4ch and set of speakers first. I can only spend about $250 on audio stuff a month ;( I sound like a little shit.

I guess the worst that could happen is scratched CD's or lost/broken cable... I like the rubber case to keep it from getting beat up...

But am glad that I am getting another one along with a CC1
