gumbeelee Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 This is my first post on steve meade's dd1 page. I recently purchased the dd1 and i am having a hard time using it with the Alpine pdx-v9 5 channel amp. Will someone please tell me where to put the red test probe from the dd1 on the pdx-v9's speaker outputs. This amp's outputs are different than regular amp outputs, if someone has used the dd1 with any alpine pdx amplifier please tell me where to put the red test probe. I have the all speakers unhooked from the amp, and i have the black wire grounded on amp ground and I am putting the other red test probe on the pdx-v9 speaker output little bar that holds the speaker wire when its connected to the amp and i can not get any signal period. Please help me and let me know were to put the red test probe. All help is greatly appreciated!! Thanx!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorFade Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Are you trying to probe the pins in the amp or using the adapters? Just jab a piece of speaker wire in there the way it would normally be if you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbeelee Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Are you trying to probe the pins in the amp or using the adapters? Just jab a piece of speaker wire in there the way it would normally be if you need to. I am probing the speaker adapters, i have put red probe on each adapter side(positive and negative side and nothing) so u r saying just cut a piece of speaker wire and just touch the probe to the speaker wire after i put the wire in the adapter? I actually even put the speaker wire back in the adapters earlier and still got no signal? Before i used the dd1 on my amp, i used it on my buddies and it worked perfect, but it has the regular amplifier outputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorFade Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Probe it with a DMM and see if you're getting voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoomZoom808 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Plug the probes in to one of the adapters and tighten it down so it touches the probe also how are the filters set? try putting it to full range just make sure you dont have any speakers connected Quote 2010 Mazda 3s 2.5L Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS Knu OFC 1/0 SS Platinum AGM / XS Power XP750 Alpine PDX F-4 / Morel Maximo 5 + Coax 5 IA 10.1 / SSA XCON 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
