I adjusted the sub level all the way up and it worked! Finally have everything set right. You are wrong about the ground. It does say in the manual you connect black to negative speaker terminal 

Ahh thought get it did read the manual like 5 years ago lol

All good lol. I did set my sub level to its max but now after all is set I’m getting distortion

So distortion all the time? Or now you can set it because the light lights up ?

Not all the time but I can set it now because the light will actually light up on the dd1. With sub level at 6 on HU I get distortion light at 34/40 volume. So I left it at 33 and the distortion light disappeared. Then I set my gain on my sub amp until distortion light came on and backed off until it disappeared. Just feel like I’m missing output. I don’t know. This is frustrating. Also my electrical is: dc power high output 270 amp alternator, big 3, and single 0 gauge run to the trunk where I have a 90ah agm battery.

What tone did you use for the sub amp  I use the -10db

I used -10db after finding where my headunit clips at with the max level on the source level adjustment and I couldn’t get enough voltage with the -10db tone to get the distortion light to go off!
