DD-1 claims another victim. DD-1 Vs $1300 Alpine Headunit


Recommended Posts

is it just that one unit or a bad design?

prob a bad unit. Most of the alpines i have used my DD-1 on didn't distort at all. At least not till the very last few notches like most pioneers, if at all.

gotcha. this is a crazy perfect example to illustrate how this equipment can be useful for more than JUST gain setting. too bad people will only see the SMD name and auto-hate it.

so.....

let them.....

I know man, I just feel like if people stopped worrying about petty shit, how far could this hobby be advanced?

You know what the worst part is? If you took that head unit back to the place you bought it, explained the situation, they wouldn't even consider replacing it.

They'd say that's not possible for you to detect that, or they stick it on their O-scope and see nothing (if they even have one). Just try to convince them that the DD-1 was made by some of the top guys in the industry, but they won't give a shit.

And then you'd be out $1300 on that brand new head unit.

Then you know what you do? Go back home, wrap that bitch in a towel, and stuff it in the microwave for 15 minutes. Then bring it back and say it overheated.

To Tony, Damn dude. +1 for the SMD GEAR!
