[QUOTE="lightspeed, post: 995519, member: 561808"] Hi folks I currently have an alpine cda9853 head unit and 2 pairs of boston acoustic 5x7's for my 2003 F150 ext cab. I decided on the 5x7's because I got a chance to listen to a friends system and he has the exact same model year truck and the exact same 4 speakers and they sounded awesome. Well today I bought an eclipse EA3422 amp on sale for $200.00 (they were clearing them out to make room for eclipses new line) and the sound is like wow!!!. I may not even need to buy any subs as this system produces enough bass for my liking. I know...sounds weird for 5x7 coaxials to sound this good but they do. Anyway I have one little gripe. I found that the fader adjustment doesn't work for the preout jacks on the head unit. At least not the way it should. It fades both front and rear at the same time rather than fading FROM front to rear as the head unit itself did with the speaker outs. And the owners manual doesn't go into detail about it either. It just says "to adjust the fader..push the mode button until fader appears in the display then turn the knob to adjust it" That's all it says. It doesn't say "to adjust the fader on the speaker outputs" or "to adjust the fader on the preouts" nor does it mention anything about the preouts being non fading or anything like that. Do any of you that have this head unit know if the preout fading is "hardwired" to adjust everything at the same time? [/QUOTE]
