YukonDCXL Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I got my dd-1 in today and when I was setting my amp gains with it on track 7 the distortion light never came on, so then I tried track 5 that was recommended or SQ and the distortion like came on a little passed 12 O'clock. Why is this? running strapped Power Acoustik 5500 bamf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Idk. Do you have the lp filter all the way up and subsonic all the way down? Everything on the HU flat? I set mine to track three after I find HU max volume. That way it will only soft clip at full tilt. For me track 5 is too much. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 did you read the manual step by step? The answer is simple, like Kranny said, read the manual.

YukonDCXL Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I did read the manual and fallowed step by step. Found where HU clipped and did everything it said to do. Meade always uses track 7 when he is demonstrating, so you guys think track 3 is safer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YukonDCXL Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Please use track 3 Okay I will. What is the explanation for only using track 3 tho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 no idea what track 3/5/7 is? 0db is "quietest" but safest. -5db is a good "daily" tune. -10 and -15 shouldn't really be touched IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Track 1 is 0db Track 3 is -5db Track 5 is -10 db Track 7 is -15db Like said above use track 3. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
