ShadeTreeMechanic Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 1.8 volts might not be enough to make the amp stages saturate. It's like having an 8v output head unit but only turning it up a little bit. Apparently the amp needs a higher input level than most. Get a preamp eq or better head unit to jack the signal up.

n8ball2013 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Just because you swapped head units doesn't mean you're getting four volts out immediately.

Jessica Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 do you get a signal light? Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

05accord6spd Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 But again main reason for the question is to see if dd1 really doesn't work then sonics dyno would not be accurate. It shows this amp way over rated. For 209$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 if you probed it on ground and speaker positive, try it again on speaker positive and speaker negative or vice versa.
