Default Dayton DSP Help.

I fell in the rabbit hole. I bought a Dayton 408. This is in a RGU no tour pak speakers in play at the moment. I have a GT head unit RF flashed. Sd1200.4 2 ohm bridge parallel to GZ YB coax. Channel 3-4 Mmat 6x9 in lids. Any help with tuning the Gz's?

Anything specifically you're needing? Or just an overall tune for those speakers?

How many watts are you sending them?

Thanks for the reply. Over all tune would be sweet. I am sending them 250W but can send 300W.

Gotcha. Im not good enough to advise on a over all tune. lol But I will say, with the dayton you may get some noise like turn pn pops and such. Mine did, as well as had a kinda whistle when turning off. I put a ground loop isolator in and fixed all of that.

If you set your gains properly, just get in there an play around with it. The biggest learning curve to me are the q settings for each channel.

Might be hard to find someone here on a forum to completely tune your bike though. Post up some screens of the settings you have now and im sure someone can comment whether they're good or not.

FYI, there are some guys that offer remote tuning for about 100 bucks. At least there is one guy I know thats local to me that will do that.

Thanks for the advice! I will keep a USB cable hooked up and in the glove box seems like I have a few nights of playing coming up.

run high level inputs to the dsp. Gets rid of noise and the need for a remote wire turn on. Run power and ground from dsp to distrobution blocks if using them. If not, run wires to battery.
