New member Username: Glen8LincolnUK Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-05 | Hey Guys, First post on the forums so be gentle ;-) I got my car audio system installed yesterday (well phase 1 anyway) and I'm not at all happy with it. I think it's because my headunit isn't setup correctly. I have been on the alpine i-Personalize website but it's all double dutch to me :-( Would someone please have a look at my system and recommend me some settings. Thanks v. much :-) Alpine CDA-9853R Alpine SPR-17LS (front Comps) Alpine SPR-17LP (rear Coax) |

Medium is rear speakers. High is the front. The first variable is controlled by the volume knob, this controls how loud overall that "band" is. The arrows control the center frequency of that "band". And either the source or the band button moves between "bands" and the other controls the slope (1-3 I believe). Here's how I set mine: Low: 0 3 80 Mid: 0 3 200 High: 0 3 200 But that's with a good set of subs though, you may want more bass from your speakers. To allow more bass, lower the # all the way to the right (center frequency). You have to experiment with it a bit. Then you have the EQ settings. Those are a bit funner... I really can't explain them. It's pretty much the same thing, just experiment. Lemme know how you make out... |

There's also Time Correction and a few other goodies... (Hope this makes sense, I'm no where near sober, I probably won't even remember writting this tommorrow...) |

I hate that little glide thinger on the new ones... I'm really kicking myself for getting the 9833, I love it, but the display on the 9835 is SOOOO much cooler... I'd put Eclipse in my cars, but they're just too expensive and complicated for ALL my vehicles... I'll keep my eyes pealed. I know I found my first set of Ti's from searching on google (got 'em brand new, still under warranty for $550 shipped)... Try something like this: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=Alpine+9835 |
