Markous Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 You'd want a CC-1 for gain matching.

Joshdashef Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I've heard of people using little speakers and some other parts wired up to the speaker outputs of an amp for gain setting, but not sure if that would help with gain matching... Better off buying a tool and doing it the right way the first way.

reedal Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 yes, you can. assuming both amps gains are set properly for clean output, you would measure the output voltage of both while playing a tone, and use the lower reading amp as your base, and then match the other amp to that output voltage. VAC. CC-1 does provide gain matching capabilities along with setting crossovers. both of which can be done successfully with a volt meter and tones, but made simpler with CC-1.

Rich Schenk Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 First find max clean output for head unit with dd-1. Then check each amp individually for max clean output with dd-1 and multimeter. Write down each one. Set all amps your trying to gain match to lowest amp clean output voltage. Double check to make sure all amps have clean output voltage and your good to go. Just redid my 2 dc5ks mine is 67.2. Gl On 3/28/2014 at 4:22 PM, KyLar96 said: Its all about the music anyway.....

will77530 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hell yea you can play a tone measure the ac output of amp 1 then set amp 2 to that same number insuggeat disconnecting subs for this no this is not how you set gains for a clean signal but will do just fine for gain matching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
