DD1+ setup Question

[John1353]

So I have a AC D-6.1200 running 3 way active system in the doors. I am pulling signal off the D-6.1200 line level output to feed a AC 1.300 mono amp for a single 10" JL. The signal level on that output is affected by the input slider position for the Mid/Woofer door speakers. If I set that channel up with a 3db over lap, that is the signal that is also supplying the 1.300 for the Sub. Now how do you get the sub setup to a 8db overlap which has a pot gain?

The same way. 

Find your head unit max volume with a 0 db overlap. Any EQ's or whatever before the amplifiers, also with a 0 db overlap. Your highs amp, use your -3 db overlap. Then use your -8 for the sub amp. 

You can even double check if it's done correctly. Set your highs and sub amp up using the -3, then re-setup your sub amp using the -8. There should be a slight difference in the amount of gain you can give it between the -3 and the -8

So an update after working with the DD1+ yesterday.  Followed instructions and determined I have a clean signal from factory head unit at 60. With 40Hz 0db track, went to setup midbass and picked up distortion light at +7db on input slider. Hit the read button, distortion light went out and display showed +15.5 db. Switched to 40Hz overlap track and display stayed the same at +15.5db. Did not drop back like I have seen it do on so many of the DD1+ videos. Same results with the mids at 1kHz. Is there something about the AC D-6.1200 that is causing this?

Well back to amazon it went. Don't know if there is an issue with the unit or it flat out does not work with he DSP amps from AC. No help for SMD, phone just rings and rings. Same with D'amore no response to email or chat. Poor way to support your products. I will stick to the trusty Scope never let me down.
