Alpine CDE-HD149BT.. Not what you'd expect with DD-1


Recommended Posts

Admittedly I haven't tested this particular Alpine unit, yet. Sounds like I will in a bit. BUT, I have tested other Alpine heads, and other brands as well that have this problem. Just because you cannot see it on your "scope" doesn't mean it isn't there. There is a video of ours on YouTube where we test a high end alpine that has distortion at low or high volume levels, over 2%! And guess what? YOU CAN'T SEE IT ON A SCOPE. It's not *noise* either. If Alpine or the other companies that are having this problem with their headunits wants to hire me to consult to fix the problem I am available for that. I have already fixed it on Boss headunits about 5 years ago. NO I won't TELL you what the problem is, without billing you.

Tony

So really what you're saying is... Go buy a Boss headunit!! LMAO

Maybe you should just get one of those Bluetooth speakers and set it on your dash. Very simple to use and setup, and no need to test for distortion.

this is true, but then what fun would that be, parked in the channel at Havasu with 7 chicks on the bow copping a feel from the vibrations!! LOL

By the way Tony, i was actually headed out to the lake this afternoon, but Im postponing that till later and on my way now.. :shok:

the PWNAGE is so strong here, even i can feel the shockwave from the bitch slap.

Now my next question is WHY? why be a dick? why does anyone have to be a dick? why not just say, damn, that's a great product, wish i woulda' thought of it (and had the team to make it happen). I mean really, we only come out with shit to BETTER the community not make it worse. Almost 8,000 STANDARD dd-1's sold so far (not including the HV or the Plus version) and used in classrooms all over the planet for 5 years now. Can't ya just say GOOD JOB for once? not just the hater in this thread, but any one of the non-believers, non-go getters out there.

think about it for a second. If some of these shit talking bitches actually came out with something useful, i would buy it and say NICE BRO...i just can't picture myself being a cockface to someone i don't know and then eating my words in front of everyone when it's done. :vava:

another thing...our DD-1 works with any amplifier. If you get a red light, it is over 1% distortion and telling you that. If your amp (or deck in this case) is 2.4% distortion from the time your remote button kicks it on then our tool can't do anything for you. Maybe we should come out with a new product and call it the Dirty-Bird 1 (DB-1) and set it to go off at 5% distortion for all you dirty birds out there. This way even the dirtiest amps can get the gains set "properly" lol :lol:

Tony or Steve question. Does the dd1 work with kicker's warhorse? I remember Cody couldn't get his to work with a o-scope? I don't remember why though

I think it was something with the tech behind the amp

Just design it so when it sees power from an amp it randomly activates the distortion LED. Will do about as much good! LMAO

I believe the warhorse exceeds 1% distortion at all times, so it wouldn't work.
