Dd-1 and DSP

[tapcola]

So how do you use a DD-1 and DSP ? How do you set the gains ?

You can set them prior to tuning.

But if you are looking to tune for SQ you set levels by ear and RTA

Yes and No, Hook up the DSP then set the gains, then use the DSP software. Most DSP's will have a higher output voltage then a HU, so it needs to be installed at the time of setting gains.

So . No real answer? I have a 810 with output control so should I turn up the out put on the 810 till the distortion light comes on the set the gains on the amp ?

That's a nice DSP. That doesn't sound like a bad plan. But gains are not super hard to set. You can get 90-95% with just your ears.
Turn your amps gains down all the way. Turn your DSP gains down all the way. Turn your headunit up to about 75% volume. Start turning your DSP gains up, then your amp. Adjust to your hear either background noise,(hiss) or a noticeable change. Don't go obviously over and you will be good.

Double check your amp grounds and DSP grounds.

Ok, since you have a DSP with adjustable output, instead of a 2 part process, you would have a 3 part process. Turn up HU to max undistorted. Turn up DSP to Max undistorted, turn up the amp to max undistorted in that order.

That's what I did , I'll play with it for awhile and see how I like it .
