Mr.Angel Posted March 5, 2019 Report Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Car: BMW 3 series 2 mono Amps: alpine mrv500, 2 subwoofers Problem: Theres no volume display on the headunit, How do I properly set my gains without knowing the volume level it distorts at? explain in details please. Question #2, I Listen to music on the Aux cord so do I need to play the DD-1 playlist off my phone rather than the Cd? Edited March 5, 2019 by Mr.Angel Quote

I don't know anything about stock headunits really. But I have a DD-1 my self, and to your second question; In my experience at least (aftermarket Pioneer headunit) the volume levels are different between AUX and Bluetooth for example (by a lot actually). I don't know why that is though. Quote

I don't know why that is though. It's just a bit difficult to use it,. For one, factory speakers so it plays the tracks and the sound is annoying when I try to find where it distorts at. the only thing connect to the amp is just the sub wires along with Rca for the line out converter Quote

I don't use bass boost on my amplifiers, but I have a remote bass-knob which I turn all the way up, then tune it. It says clearer how you can do it in the manual Edit: I also have everything else flat, on my headunit for example. Edited March 5, 2019 by Pelihagen Quote
