    Smd-dd1 question

    I can't be positive on this but my dd1 only works properly when it's given a 1k Hz or a 40 Hz note. So if your music doesn't produce this tones then it won't work and even then a split second probably won't read or give you long enough to knowing it's clipping or not.

    Battery is sitting at 12.5v and with the car on its 14.7v so they're both working but I have a feeling the altgiant spinning fast enough with the larger pulley on it to make the power it says it can. Going to measure current pulley size and the smaller one and see how much smaller of a belt I...
