got my 9835!!! YEEEEEE!!

[thai_creeper 10+ year member]

I gotta GREAT deal on an alpine 9835, so far its NIICE. the only thing so far is the sub, at first I could barely hear it at all(I thought it wasnt workin at all but then found it some noise was commin from my L5 and noticed the amp turned on) so I searched this forum about that and saw other people had trouble. well i didnt really see a direct answer to the problem but i tried messin with the equalizer and i put the bass all the way up and everything all the way down and im pretty sure im hearing what i heard from my old premier 470mp so i think that clears up that problem. anyways..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

put the sub output to 15, when its on 0 its pretty much -15 and when its on 15 its at 0

weird way alpine did it. put it on 15, turn off that **** bass boost //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yea its on 15, wen u say bass boost u mean on the amp? if yeah then thats off. im guessing i had to turn the volume higher. sub really starts hittin around volume 20, i don't go more than a few past that(wats the max btw?). i think before when i have the equalizer at flat i couldnt turn it up that high to hear the subs cuz the reg speakers wuld be too loud for me..also i think boostin the bass on the equalizer made it louder too? another question, wen i customize the equlizer it ends up lookin like a line with a lotta humps haha does the deck sorta curve/smoothe it out? i never seen an equlizer that looks like that. if no one knows wat im talkin about then nevermind haha just wish the manual had pics of the screen at diff times/settings

also I was gonna say my guess about me puttin everything low on the equalizer and it sounding like i had it on the pioneer(had the lows at +6, mid at +5 and high at +6) is because the alpine gives more power to the speakers so im not used to them bein that loud? any opinions appreciated

I have to disagree on that subwoofer level. I have mine set around 3 and it's perfect. 15 would be tremedous bass. What it could be is your X-over level for the sub. also make sure MX is on.

btw. welcome to the club.

hmm havin mine at 15 is the closest to what i was hearing before, at 3 i doubt id hear anything at all. like i said i put the left side all the way up on the equalizer and everything else i culd customize i put all the way down and i think it sounds how it did before(not saying that sounds good, just wana replicate my old sound so i know theres not a problem with the deck/sub connection or wat not). culd u explain to me wat MX exactly is? i read it in the manual but wondering wat it actually does. i think i had it set on 3 at one point but vocals sounded distorted, any preferred setting? haha and thanks ive been wantin in to the club for a long time

Dude tune everything on your headunit how you want it with the subwoofer turned off on it. Then after everything is how you want it, turn the sub on and set your gain. Read the gain setting tutorial.

MX basicaly is a bass loud button should be at the low left corner

Since you changed head units, you now have a different preout voltage. So set your gain again, becasue it is no longer in sync with your new unit. I dont know if that will solve your problem 100% since I have no expereice with that head unit, but it will help..

yeah ive seen the tutorial just never got around to setting it so i left it between half and 3/4 gains. im real far from an audiophile, right now i just want the same sound(bass wise) i had from my pioneer deck(both for preference and to make sure my hu is in good working condition and the connections are fine). i think it sounds the way i want it now, and over time ill mess around with the highs/mids and everything else besides the sub because as of now i don't have very high expectations with SQ comin from my old setup and being new to car audio in general

ohh yeah i know where it is and how to set it from 1-3. does it effect gains? since you said its a bass loud button

ohh i see what mikey was sayin now, dint know changin hu's wuld correspond to gains on my amp. as far as i know, i think the alpine has more voltage over my old pioneer so i dont get why i'd hear less bass? but lik i said im open to the idea that its because i didnt set the equalizer before cuz lik i said earlier with the bass all the way up and everything else(that i can move in the equalizer) set all the way down i think i hear wat i was hearin from my pioneer(which was a lotta car shaking bass with mids/highs not keepin up)

Setting your gain correctly has nothing to do with being an audiophile... It has to do with taking care of your equipment.

Get a DMM (if you dont have one) and do it the right way.

oh i agree with u, i was sayin im not an audiophile so i probably won't be spendin too much time with all the other settings besides the sub/bass, not yet anyways. but yeah ima get to settin the gains
