alpine 9855... kinda strange

[Ctminime 10+ year member]

me and my buddy both have these decks me(9855) him(9853) and neither of this have this problem but we have both had ours less than 2 months or so.... so i donno.... he has amped speakers and im still stuck with stock but we dont have this issue.... maybe in some of those "sectret deck settengs" (source+next track) combinations that i have heard about (altho never trying myself) may bring an answer.... but reguardless no problems here

Had the same problem with this unit,runningon a full Alpine system,tried every trick no diff.Got rid off it to many disappointing factors on it!Maybe a serious factory booboo!!!

I don't have that problem with mine at all.. May be amp gain settings? Set your gains properly with a DMM and see if you still have this problem.. Def sounds strange to me.. So far I really like my 9855.. Had it installed for almost a week now and still getting used to it.. I saw this thread a while back and had to test it for this problem you describe.. All I can say is mine doesn't do this, so I would be inclined to look elsewhere for the source of the problem..

Now, what's this I hear about "secret deck settings"??

believe me, i've done everything possible with the amp gains, as well as trying to set all the eq's and everything to flat... still same thing. they may have had a bad run of decks or something, i dunno. i'll have to call alpine again monday because the more i think about it, the more irritating it is

just try setting all levels in the crossover-section to -3.

i do not have an alpine but they are very popular in germany and many people have had issues with them.

setting all preout-levels to -3 in the crossover section seemed to help them out. something wrong in the software of the DSP.
