tbeats Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 OK so red to speaker + but would it make a difference doing black to speaker - instead of ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockFord_Expedition Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 What do the instructions say? NVM I just read them from the D'Amore site and it says to use bat - " Connect the CC-1 to an electronic crossover’s outputs by plugging an RCA from the crossover’s outputs to CC-1’s input or use the included harness to connect the CC-1 to the amplifier’s speaker outputs; Red to speaker (+) and Black to battery ground. Note: On some amplifiers the right channel’s output may actually be on the speaker (-) terminal. In this case, connect Red to speaker (-) and Black to battery ground.

audiofanaticz Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Some amps you must connect both positive and negative cc-1 probes to the positive and negative speaker outputs, other wise you will get no signal. This goes for the dd-1 as well. Common for amps with tiffany style rca's on the amplifier or differential inputs.Several users posted that their dd-1/cc-1 don't work, and they say they have crescendo amplifiers, and doing it the way I said above works, even if its not a crescendo amplifier, due to the negative speaker output on the amp typically being a common ground.Not going to lie, every time I use my SMD tools, I go straight for the positive and negative speaker output, because I know it works every time, with or without differential rca's.

I set both using red to + black to - speaker. The kicker amp is nasty at what the cc1 is setting for 80hz . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
