Does anybody that has the KCA-620M and CDA 9887 tried to connect an HDD to it? If so does it work with the files folder structure? Any feedback on this would be appreciated, i would like to use a HDD instead of a n Ipod on my CDA9887. Thanks Robert

After some extensive internet research my understanding is that from Alpines side the sytem is meant to be used in non active or passive setups. There is a guy that is an Alpine employee posting in the german car audio forum "Klangfuzzi"that confirmed that the imprint sytem on the CDA 9887 is...

I have currently some issues with my subwoofer, but that has nothing to do with imprint even when running standard mode the output seems to be to low. I'm currently trying to figure out why it's not working right. Besides that my system uses Rainbow Germaniums and these play down low fairly...

Thanks for the reply, The sub is a MTX 6104, 1 voice coil 4 ohm. I checked the menu several times and the sub woofer is set to on. The sub woofer level cranked up to 15 and gain on the amp cranked up all the way. The problem with the idea ti run full range and let the head unit do the...

What about people posting their experiences and observations with the Imprint kit used on the CDA 9887 here. I did run several measurements today and i summarize my observations here folowing. Ther software itself was install without a problem and ran on the first try. The first run i used...

Well i did run a new rca cable to the subwoofer amp with both left and right hu output connected to amp inputs it made no difference . Amp set to LPF, gain needs to be cranked up all the way to have some output. I will run a test with a 0 dB 50 Hz test tones to check. But i'm afraid the amp is...

Hey everybody, I have installed an CDA 9887 since a couple days in my car GMC Envoy and so far i'm fairly happy with it. There a re a couple questions i have, the manual isn't very clear on it, regarding subwoofer connections. I run the unit with the front system connected trough an ARC 2100...

I have a couple questions for Rainbow Germanium owners, how have you installed your tweeters, "A" pillar, kick panel, door panel, what are your experiences? What sounds best running them in a closed volume or leaving them open on the backside? Regards Robert

Have been looking for some while to find peel and seal and couln't find any in our locals lowes and home depot stores. Today i was in a mexican home depot and these guys carried something similar, 2.5 mm thick tar mat with aluminium foil on one side and adhesive on the other. So i bought a roll...

This is not recommendable. Just lets assume you swap out your battery with a 16 volt one. Now all your actuators that are attached to Battery voltage will draw a higher current. Which means you increase the stress on these parts. This can lead to shorter durability on these components. Also the...

I would not consider solder to corrode under normal conditions. Bare copper is more likely to corrode, that is one reason why terminals are tin plated to avoid corrosion and subsequently weak solder joints. I work in the automotive industry and we use thin plated brass (brass contains copper)...

The sound deadening materials add mass to the panels and by this shift their response to excitation caused by the sound pressure that the speaker emits. Sound pressure is basically just moving air pressure. When that pressure is hitting a large panel it will cause the panel to vibrate and so the...

Hello all, This is my first post on the forum, and i'm looking for some input on my set up. First some quick back ground the car is a GMC Envoy with the non bose basic system. I want to get rid of the bose stuff since it's sound wise not optimal. The plan is to use an arc xxk 2100 to run the...
