[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8305543, member: 658055"] Welcome. I don't know why you'd bash the DD-1 if you don't know how to set your amp. Without knowing your HU's preout voltage or the range on the gain's sensitivity we can't tell if that's a good setting. The best thing to use would be an oscilloscope or DD-1 with a test tone to see where it clips, but you can use a tone and a multimeter to get you to the right voltage. Hate to point you back to the SMD forums, but this thread does a great job going into detail, as well as providing download links for tones: [URL="http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/96978-test-tones-and-tuning-tutorial-all-new-links-again/"]Test Tones and Tuning Tutorial - All New Links, Again! - Tunez - All things music related - SMD Forum[/URL] 34Hz SSF is high. Your sub can play down to 28Hz, unless you prefer to filter out the extreme lows, might want set that lower. LPF is fine. It comes down to personal preference, but that's a standard setting. Bass boost is useless. It only boosts one frequency (typically 40Hz) and is a quick way to send a clipped signal if you don't know what you're doing. You're better off setting it at zero. The gain adjusts all frequencies. If your gains are set right and it's not enough bass for you, upgrade the amp. [/QUOTE]
