[QUOTE="ultraviolet353, post: 550836, member: 556905"] I just got a new system installed today. Alpine 9835 head unit (HU). MB Quart Reference 5.25" Components, JL Audio 4300 4 Channel Amp, and JL Audio 10" sub. It sounds great. The head unit is ridiculous! I love it. One weird problem...the FM reception (do not get any stations on AM signal). I live in Los Angeles, and have previously owned low-end Sony HU's and never had any problem tuning my favorite stations (everything alweays came in clear, no intereference). This unit is different: when set to auto DX tuning, it only tunes 4 stations, the rest have to be done manually (and even when tuned manually I get continual hits of of intereference)...weird, huh. In local mode, it doesn't tune any stations automatically. Every station I listen to must be tuned manually (which I never I had to do before with my $100 Sony CD HU's). I had it professioanlly installed at my local Al & Ed's. I am going in tomorrow to let them know the problem tomorrow but I want to be armed with a little bit of knowledge.
