Who cares when you use optical from the hu and can't adjust from the processor (stuck at 4) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I did in an effort to make fun //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif Don't take it literally Squak //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sorry, my computer's sarcasm detector has been on the fritz recently //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

AFAIK Alpine does construct their HU's with the self-installer in mind, and therefore does have high output impedance for that very reason. I do not know the exact figures. I'm not trashing Alpine at all...I think competition is very healthy and they have done very well in their respective markets.

IIRC Alpine's manuals used to list the preamp impedance at or around 10kohm, but "meant" that you shouldn't use their decks with any equipment that had an input impedance of less than 10kohm, not that their preamp's output impedance was that high.

You can't adjust what?? The volume or the gains //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

ouch. I just refit mine today and fits better than ever. VW golf 4 dashes royally **** *** for securely installing decks. Two zipties and some fun with a dremmel and my deck ain't going anywhere.

With head units you have the "choice" of preout voltage. With the h701, you get 4v. Take it or leave it. Plus, there's no traditional "preout voltage" with toslink. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

This discussion reminded me to look for Tool tour dates on Ticketmaster....looks like they're going to be within driving distance on 5/13, and tickets go on sale Saturday. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif I am so there.

You must be going to the Chicago show...they play up here on 5/11 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif It looks like they are playing a bunch of small venues in the next month of May, which is cool for a band of that caliber. Tickets go on sale here at 12:00 pm Sat...and will probably sell out in 1:19 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

****.. Reminds me, I have to hunt for tickets too. Saw them in Seattle last time around, then flew down and saw them in San Diego (luckily I had to go down for business). Saw APC as well during Lalapalooza too.

Cool....I've never seen them live...I've heard things though...want to share any stories? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Spent most of the night watching people trying to be "subtle" about smoking weed indoors. Maynard has a habit of playing peak a boo. Had the drummer from mushugana (sp?) play a song with that on the tom toms Sheila E style that just rocked. Great visual stuff going on. Seattle had a great crowd, San Diego was pretty **** passive. APC in an outdoor arena just didn't do it for me.
