Going active with the 9887

Not the 9887, manual has confirmed and everyones experience has confirmed. REAR = tweets, FRONT = mids, SUB = sub.
Not logical, until you see the placement of the rca outs on the HU... but still pretty weird.

INdeed. Wonder why they switched it up... got a pic of the RCA outs?

yes, that's what i'm saying and what the picture shows.
I don't htink the 9887 has it, but the 9835 has a nice display that shows the x-over network like the picture i posted above

It helps a lot for us right hemisphered people

INdeed. Yet again, wonder why Alpine skimped on that...

Does anybody know the website to get specific time alignment details for different make/models of cars? A friend of mine told me I could go to a website and just enter in my car and it would automatically give me the information I needed to enter into my 9887's time alignment settings.

That would be great if you find anything please post.

Why not just use this very technologically advanced thing called... a tape measure...?

SO when I press the brake, everythings cool. When I release the brake thats when you hear the beep. Meanwhile the small static is on the entire time.

Alpine needs to make the 9965 much more affordable. I think it's their only single din they have that's a step up from the 9835.

on a side note: there's a 9833 for $150 shipped in the classifieds and it's still available iirc. WHY it's still available is something I don't understand. IMO, it's better than the 9887, because I don't give a shit about the imprint capability

A 9835 in the classifieds too for 250

9965?

I don't like the glidetouch, but the glidetouch on that model is MUCH better than that of the 9853/55...

yeah. 9965.

OP. I would suggest checking all of you connections. Or even reinstalling the harness. Unless you want to keep that noise. it's up to you if it's worth it or not.

I recently sold my 9833 and purchase the 9887.

IMO both units are great units. There are things I miss about the 9833, but there are things that I like more on the 9887.

Again both are great head units. The 9833 is easier to navigate although I did have it for 3 years, that helps.

I dont think its my car, because I havn't had a problem with any head unit installed previous to this one.

Here is a picture of the 9887 harness. Its the exact same thing as te 9883 harness except the box on the yellow wire. I am going to swap this out tomorrow and see whats up.

I have no freaking idea what is causing this "Beep" when I hit my brake...

 

[krisfnbz 10+ year member]

This is what I am going to do tomorrow to try and fix the problem:

1. Use new RCa's

2. RUn the head unit ground directly to the neg on the battery,

3. connect the filter from the 9887 harness.

IF that shit still makes soundes, im going to go insane. Can you guys think of anything else?
