Jerry Fang Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Ok guys, a buddy of mine have a dd1 and he came and tune my deck and amp. Ok.. he hook his dd1 to the rca of my deck(Pioneer AVH-X4600BT) my deck start to distortion at volume 38/40 on D'Amore cd track 2. My amp(DD M2b), with the volume @ 38/40 on D'Amore cd track 7 and set the gain right before the meter show clipping, but the DD bass knob clip indicator is flashing. So am I suppose to tune my amp with it the bass knob? When I unplug the bass knob, the dd1 clip stay lit. So am I doing it wrong??
LemonyGuy Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Trust the dd1 over your bass knob. Bass knob's indicators have been know to be inaccurate.

philrab Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Tune with the -5 track, maybe -10 track if you want to push it and will back the volume down if things don't sound good.

Kyblack76 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Did you turn your "knob" up to full when you set the gain? And as said above, never use the -15 track. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
Jerry Fang Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Posted October 29, 2014 Did you turn your "knob" up to full when you set the gain? And as said above, never use the -15 track. Yea. I set my knob about half way and on the gain, its at about 11 o'clock. Ok, on my deck. I set everything on flat, everything turn back to default setting and use the dd1 to tune my amp. After its tuned, I start to adjust my deck to where I had it before and its clipping. Am I suppose to tune with everything on default setting on my deck or am I supposed to tune my amp with the setting I have on my deck before the tune?
philrab Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 ^^^^. You're supposed to read and follow the supplied instructions. Asking this question, I can tell you haven't. 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.

Jessica Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 the manual states to set everything flat. I'm going to say that from the 1.21 gigathreads i have seen you should just set your deck how you want, turn your bass knob all the way up. Play track 1 and check the deck at the amplifier speaker terminals with the gain all the way down and bass boost off. Then use track 3 and set the gain on the amp. two steps, easy peasy.

Jerry Fang Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks all for the replies. I would read the manual, but the dd1 is not mine and he only brought the dd1, cd, amd cables. Lol..
