dwpjr Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I have a red DD-1. It has always worked perfect on all my personal builds. Yesterday I was having trouble with it while trying to set gains on my newest build. Head unit is an Alpine CDE 172BT and the amp is a CT Sounds 125.4 When setting the max head unit volume, it didn't get a signal until volume was at 24 of 35 and no distortion up to max volume 35...thought that was a little weird, but could be legit. Next when trying to set the amp, I kept getting hardly any signal, then the 40hz and 1khz would light up but the signal light would not. I tried several different tracks and could not get any consistent reading...if any readings at all. No speakers were connected and I tried all 4 channels. Occasionally all lights would light up for a couple seconds and then go off. I checked the 9 volt battery inside it and it tested good. Any idea what the problem could be? I ended up just setting gains half way and hooking up the speakers...all speakers were working fine and amp was loud and clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Red DD-1 means very little. Is it a regular DD-1, or a DD-1 plus? It is not uncommon for a HU to reach max volume with no distortion, but given that it took a while for the signal light to light up, I'd imagine that some settings on the HU need to be adjusted in order to provide a higher signal level. Lastly, batteries can sometimes have good voltage but take a shit under load. Start the tuning process all over with a fresh Duracell or Energizer battery.
