More than half the threads that pop up on forums of blown drivers end up being DD-1 installs. That being said the ONLY thing that can blow a driver is a user, but it surely shows what misinformation and being misled can do. Profiting from that is terrible.

Its a DC sub so use DC parts!

The amount of emails I get from people who blew a sub and blame it on the sub because they think the DD-1 is gospel, is just silly. The combination of lower quality amps strained on not the best electrical systems, with gains set to almost or at clipping at 1 or 2 frequencies, is just . The masses (not everyone), from my experience, that are using the DD-1, are cheaping out on their electrical, but spending good money on their subs. This means, their point of focus when something fails because of wrong gain setting, is the subwoofer. So while others are making money off some blinking lights, it is causing me and others with speaker lines, nothing but constant headaches and more work, and in some cases pissed off or lost customers.

LOC - Line Output Convertor. The take speaker level input ans convert to low level rca's.

Do I believe in the DD-1......not really. It may be good for installers since most customers are clueless on what to listen for & or don't care to learn. I don't agree with all of his products but it's not my life's mission to bash everything he does. Point is to blame the device for blown amps is just silly.

I'd take things Db-r says with a grain of salt. He might be able to fix an amp but he lacks the skill of logic in most instances. That said there's no reason to use a DD1 to start with, so the point is moot.

so if the smd dd1 is used properly by the user manual it won't hurt a sundown amp correct?It's clever advertising on a useless product. Get your money back, and set it by ear, or call someone who knows how. DD-1 is not helpful to you.

Yes, the most likely culprit is not having the SSF set properly. You can't compare this experience to one you had with a completely different setup, you just can't. There are too many variables, too many differences that play a part in what may or may not happen with one setup over another.

Do a search for a dd1 on the forum here. This has been covered MANY MANY times. The dd1 is a useless pos for any amp regardless of brand.

speakers are stupid, it tried to do what you told it to but you told it kill itself. buy a recone, set the amp up correctly, and learn to use your ears and nose to tell when the sub is being pushed too hard.

DD-1 is your problem

Blowing 10 dudes while curling milk jugs full of water will do that.

Yum FUCK YES Yum Thanks to that, I pulled my hammy... Yum Almost missed a whole page

Yum FUCK YES Yum Thanks to that, I pulled my hammy... Yum Lot of YUM!!

FUCK YES

Not downing the xcon at all but the zcon would be more comparable to the Death Penalty. If you are trying to decide between the xcon and the death penalty, go with the death penalty. You won't be disappointed. The new death penalty has more motor strength, better cooling, and a better coil than the previous model death penalty.

Screwed how? More information would be helpful
