reedal Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ok. Cool. Congrats on your purchase. Your DD-1 can NOT damage your equipment. If your equipment is being damaged, it is entirely user/installer error, or manufacturing error.

CstrokerV Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 if you used it 3 times prior why would you think it was the dd-1? was the priors on this amp or others? anything changed from prior? i don't know just throwing stuff out there Quote my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrance78 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) The prior are a jl audio amp an 2 arc audio amps the 2 arc audio amp were installed at car tunes a local sound shop in michgan the jl audio was my friends it was installed on a road glide. The first arc audio amp was ks125.4 an i tuned that with the dd-1 an no problem the second amp is ks300.4. is where it take a turn for the worst. Sorry this is not my first rodeo with car audio that why i went back to doing it the old way by ear an multimeter an all 3 amp were new.

SLYentist Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Punctuation helps. Just saying. I smell user error, not the fault of the DD-1. That's like saying a DMM triggered a circuit breaker on your house wiring. Quote Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrance78 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ok if it's user error then the first 2 amp should have been fried too right. I think all amp have a power an a ground an there a gain knob for adjusting. I'm not bashing the device, just trying to see if someone else had a problem with it an can help me understand what i could've done wrong.
