[QUOTE="JoshC, post: 7715316, member: 634938"] So i got my CD8455 in today and so far my alpine cda-105 sounds better :/, granted i havnt figured out much on the deck yet but still. Issues ive noticed so far: 1. The volume is really odd, sound isnt even audible at levels 0-15 on CD and not till like 30 on aux. 2. My front stage isnt getting nearly as loud as it was on my alpine, although my sub still sounds good. Mids seem muggy and my highs are very quiet and scratchy 3. Was in aux mode and had the jack in my phone on Pandora, was listening at a low level and the highs had crackles. Sounds pretty muddy and just all around funkyish 4. On a CD it sounds better then aux, but still an all around funky sound from my mids and highs. Highs are much quieter then they need to be Only things ive done since it was reset was set HPF for 100, set aux sensitivity to high, and set true bass to the highs. Still havnt even figured out how to get the EQ up. Also if you push the volume knob twice theres something you can turn up to 15 or 20 i turned all the way up, was increasing the volume. Not sure what it was All my gains are set to 8V, except for my fronts are a lil higher. Being because they are the only set needing full rms, the rears only need 50-60 of 85rms. And my sub only needs 8-900 of 1200wrms so i figured just dont turn to max and ill hear when my fronts dont want anymore. On my alpine my fronts were getting louder then i could stand before rms even, sounded pretty decent deff a good bit cleaner then what im hearing now. So im really confused, this is suppose to be a high end deck, what gives? Anyone have this or similar deck got a few pointers for tuning? I know it has a ton of features that could really change the sound. Just gotta get my fronts and mids outa crap town [/QUOTE]
