reedal Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I also have this same issue as the OP and have a Pioneer AVH HU. Doesn't seem like there was any way to make it work. I definitely followed the instructions this isn't the first time using it and the DD1 worked flawless on all the other amps and HU's. I just don't get it. Any suggestions? What's the rest of your setup? You can't get distortion from the HU using tracks 1&2? Or you're just not getting it from the amp after finding the HU distortion point?

AzureX Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) I also have this same issue as the OP and have a Pioneer AVH HU. Doesn't seem like there was any way to make it work. I definitely followed the instructions this isn't the first time using it and the DD1 worked flawless on all the other amps and HU's. I just don't get it. Any suggestions? What's the rest of your setup? You can't get distortion from the HU using tracks 1&2? Or you're just not getting it from the amp after finding the HU distortion point? HU is a AVH270, Amp is a NVX JAD 1200.1. Sub is a Sundown SA-15 D2 wired to 1 Ohm. I distort on the HU at 38(40Hz track 1) 39(1kHz track 2) so max clean volume is 37. I hook into the amp's speaker outputs respectively with the sub sonic filter set to the lowest(20Hz) and the low pass filter set to the highest(320Hz), I can max the gain out with the HU set to the max clean volume (37) with the 40Hz -5 dB tone. I get the signal light and the 40Hz light but never a distortion light. it flickers like the OP stated sometimes but goes away without touching the gain. I've done three other system with the dd-1 and actually just did a forth today. Of course they had different equipment but it should still work on mine.

reedal Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 That amp seems to be an issue with the DD-1. I'm going to link this thread to someone and hopefully we can receive some insight. Stay tuned. 1 Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedal Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Best I have for you for now is to do a -10dB frequency sweep through your head unit at max clean with your crossovers set where you want them, measure the AC voltage straight from the RCAs, and then set your gain where the highest voltage you read would be. Not accurate, possible chance of clipping unless you set it really conservatively, but better than nothing. Unless you have an O-scope Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzureX Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 do you have the bass knob hooked up? is it turned all the way up? It is set in the middle per the instructions but yes i have also turned it all the way up with the same result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
