reedal Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Ok. It's hard to make out if it's lit only when you turn it or if it's constant. First: did you check the signal coming from the head unit for your head units max clean volume as stated in the directions? Second: leave the head unit at the maximum clean volume, amp gain all the way down. Is the distortion light on or off when checking the amplifier output for distortion? Third: if the distortion light blinks only when you adjust volume or gain, then that's fine if it goes away when you stop. If it's constantly on, you need to back the gain down until it disappears. As long as you follow the direction book front to back, it's a pretty easy tool to use. The video wasn't too helpful in troubleshooting your issue, at least not to me.

RooTxBeeR Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 The battery is new and ill check the rca cable they look fine to me doe I notice the distortion comes on even setting the gain down maybe the head unit ? I'm thinking I'll disconnect the front speakers n see if that has anything to do I'll post a video of it Ina few You can't just look at a pair of RCA's and just say, "they look good to me". Doesn't work like that. As well, I can tell you didn't follow the instructions for the DD-1 because in it it specifically states to disconnect your speakers when tuning the amp.

reedal Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 well just back from work and i did d/c the speakers that the headunit was wired to... and it worked woohoo but my other problem is the CC-1 cant get any signal im trying set the subsonic Turn subsonic all the way down > make sure there is no hi pass filter on the head unit set to act as a subsonic filter for the sub level > double check you're using the correct tone > all wires/probes are properly connected Lastly, the CC-1 has two operational settings if I'm not mistaken: 1)set filters, 2) gain match. Make sure you don't set it to gain match or it may not show that the signal is there until you revert it back to setting filters.
