Cs2 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I just bought a dd1 distortion detector and I was wondering what track I should play to tune my amp. They have -5db, -10db, and -15db. I currently use a usb with all songs downloaded at -7.5db and want the loudest and cleanest sound I can get out of it. I have 4 skar ddx 15s on a crescendo 4.5k @ 1 ohm. And will using a dd1 make my system much louder if tuned right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackFactory Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 The dd-1 wont make anything louder. It only allows you to set your gains correctly. If the music you listen to is -7.5db then I would set it using the -5db track. That should give you 2.5db of headroom. If you just want it as loud as possible set it with the -10db and just be careful in the upper limits of your volume. Another option would br to download a -7.5db track and use that to set it.

That's what confuses me. Most standard music is recorded at around -12 db if you listen to just plain out the cd music. So if -10 is the loudest what is -15? Sorry for necro I did a Google search and this post came up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
