SCATHED Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 When using the DD-1 to set the gain on a sub amp, should the sub level on a pioneer headunit be at +6 to get the full voltage from the headunit? Also, should I have my LPF at the max setting on the amp when setting the gain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Fizzy Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 When using the DD-1 to set the gain on a sub amp, should the sub level on a pioneer headunit be at +6 to get the full voltage from the headunit? Also, should I have my LPF at the max setting on the amp when setting the gain? If it's sub level, I always had mine turned up, if you're talking bass boost or bass level on the HU then no. Keep it level. I had mine maxed but I had an alpine so there is a difference.

C-Fizzy Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Yep sub level should be at +6. I would try both ways with the dd-1. Maybe you could get a cleaner sound with the level flat.

SCATHED Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Okay cool thank you for the help. What about the LPF setting on the amp? Do I set the gain with the LPF all the way up, and then lower it once the gain is set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) just find max undistorted with track 2 on your mid range outputs. Then play track 1 for your sub out at the same volume and turn up sub out till you find distortion then back it off one click if needed. edit: this is pretty much standard procedure for all headunits with sub out adjustments.

C-Fizzy Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I usually had my lpf on the headunit set to either 60 or 80hz depending if I was running an amp to the mids and highs.

I was talking about the LPF on the amp. Does it matter what the LPF is set at on the amp when you are setting your gains with a DD-1?
