    Head Unit with Creative X-fi?

    I have a question. I have a Creative X-fi sound card for my computer, and the thing is amazing. I love how it brings out the highs and lows so well. Does creative offer this stuff for headunits? If not is there an equivalent to this? Thanks, Tom

    Ground Loop or Alternator Whine

    just tried some 10 g I had around the house. The amps only 800w... by that last post I'm guessing I should go buy some thicker wire and that could solve my problem.

    Ground Loop or Alternator Whine

    Thanks for all the help guys, I can't wait to solve this. This is my second headunit with this problem, First was a Pioneer DEH, this one is an Alpine CDA-9883. I'm going to try a thicker wire. I'm using 12gauge speaker wire right now. Btw, Picked up a ground loop isolator just to rule that...

    Ground Loop or Alternator Whine

    That sucks man. I don't get whine when the car is off, or off the HU, just everything on my amp. I have shit Walmart RCA cables, I suppose that could be the problem. Ugh, I'm going deaf from having to blast shit just so I don't hear the whine. If ****ing drives me nuts. Thanks, Tom

    Ground Loop or Alternator Whine

    I don't understand. If I grounded DIRECTLY to the neg terminal on the battery, how could there be any outside voltage? How would me grounding it to the chassis somewhere where there could be voltage help? I'm no car audio expert but I don't know how there could be excess voltage coming off of...

    Ground Loop or Alternator Whine

    Thanks for the post. I just tried to ground the amp directly to the battery (ground cable from amp to neg on battery) and the whine persists. I have now noticed that it appears only one amp is producing this whine. I tried changing the in line fuse on the power cable from a 40amp to a 12amp...

    Ground Loop or Alternator Whine

    I can not take this issue anymore. I have a very high pitched whine coming from my mids and tweets at all time. It is engine RPM Dependant, in which when I rev the engine it increases. That makes me think it's Alternator Whine! I also noticed today, while putting the window sup, that if I...

    EQ on Alpine CDA-9884

    Yeah I'm seeing the iPod stuff. Only problem is a have a Zune, so it doesn't help me at all. My speakers are all aftermarket so they should be able to put out. 6.5 Audiobahns in doors, 6x9 kenwoods in shelf, polk 3.5's. The EQ sounds like a pretty good idea. I wish the 9887 wasn't an extra...

    EQ on Alpine CDA-9884

    Wow. In the pdf file on the CD they sent me had the manual. On there and on Crutchfield it says it has a 5 type EQ. How could a $200 HU not have an EQ? Any other ideas on how to get the mid up?

    EQ on Alpine CDA-9884

    Alright, I can't figure this out and it's REALLY bugging me. I don't feel like my setup has enough mid, and I don't know where to change that. I've found settings to adjust treble and bass, and subs, and EVERYTHING under the sun,but no Equalizer. Can someone inform me on HOW to get to this...

    Visonic Amp only works on 1 Channel?

    Well, I listen to rock so I didn't want something ground pounding for subs, so I got some crap 10in Visonik subs and an amp that comes with it (says 800w, but I doubt it). I have noticed that only one channel works with it for some reason, even since I bought it. I have the RCA's in correctly...

    Fixing a Pioneer Headunit?

    How would I go about doing that? I've tried grounding the amp directly to the neg on the battery... To jco, whats a LOC? Thanks guys, I'm getting some hope.
