els1989 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 So I've heard of several Guys not running the bass boost knob on their amps so I figured hell why not try this.... Is it normal for my dd-1 to have the low batt light come on when trying to set my gains? Amp is orion xtr2200.1d.... This is round two with this amp round one ended up in smoke I was trying to keep my bass and loose my speaker distortion by turning down bass in eq then foolishly turned my sub level max on my head unit (pioneer app radio v1) Needless to say the guys at md audio hooked me up got new amp and just doesn't seam like my gains are right... First had it set with track 7... But amp seemed to be getting hot... Having fried the first one is making me nervous. Lol My dd-1 also does the blip distortion thing another guy on here was talking about.. So some help and advice would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 First thing is do is get a good quality battery and relace the one you have in there. What head unit are you using as well? Did you check it as well Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

els1989 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Head unit is pioneer appradio sph-da01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
els1989 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 When the probes are not touching the speaker terminals it doesn't show low battery... It's when the volume is turned up to my max undistorted on my head unit then start turning my gain that my dd-1 says low batt... If I disconnect one probe the light goes away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Because it needs a new battery. Jeezus. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 If you take off the protective sleeve, there's a battery cover, take it off, disconnect the 9V battery, and put a new one in. The low battery light comes on because there's a low battery. Just like how a phone tells you when it's battery is low.

els1989 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'll try replacing the 9v again... Done that in the past... Woulda expected the 9v battery to last more than one use but whatever I'll throw a Duracell in see if that lasts more than 2 min lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
