Some folks disagree, but I say turn on MX.

Set your crossovers to HP 80hz or so.

Find a factory eq presetting you can live with.

Start messing with time alignment.

There are 2 different subwoofer settings Sub 1 and sub 2,

sub 2 is louder, but i think sub 1 is a better balance. I have no

idea what they do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Once it starts to sound a little better, tweak your own EQ settings,

Navigating the menus just sucks at first, you have to play with it.

why mx? mx = loud feature?

why mx? mx = loud feature?

I don't know why, it sounds good to me so why not

I think it's a little more than loudness, but I could be wrong.

the MX feature i read was to eliminate road noise or somethin, so it boost freqs.

the navi is difficult on this deck i've learned, but gets easier overtime.

I listen to a lot of burned mp3's on disk and it seems to help.

Media Xpander
Alpine's Media Xpander restores musical life to MP3 files, FM radio, satellite radio, and CD/DVD discs. It "opens up" the sound (through expansion) and improves clarity (by restoring attenuated frequencies) without altering the tone, so your entertainment is more entertaining! The MediaXpander uses Digital Signal Processing to analyze fundamental frequencies, then calculate and generate the missing harmonics and frequencies lost to compression. The result is a richer, more "live" sound. There are three selectable expansion modes (plus an "Off" position), so you can choose the setting that sounds best to you. (Media Xpander-equipped receivers will even remember each source's settings.) MediaXpander is not a glorified loudness button; it's a great-sounding processor that will add to your enjoyment of the music.

are you tryin to run 3way or 2way active, or no?

cause there is a switch at the bottom of the deck to run either.
