Kylemoney01 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hey guys so I have everything for my basic sub setup and I’m trying to tune my amp. The only adjustments it has is gain and freq. so my question is how can I get this thing tuned in? I have a voltmeter and that’s about it. Should I try this myself or look for a local shop to do it? Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the DD1+ and it's a very user friendly piece of equipment. Regardless what the shop charges, I myself, will always invest in the tool or the knowledge to do it the second time. jm2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
