found out what the problem was. bloody alpine manuals are shyte!!!! thought the ipod interface was considered a 'ai-net external processer' which according to the manaual meant a switch on the bottom was to be put in the eq/div side when in fact it aint a processer so needs to be in the normal...
lol impossible to do that cause it is a different type of connection, eveverything works but the output is massivly (no exaggeration) higher than cd and tuner, and no change in volume when going from 0 to max on hu.
...is going on here?
ive got an alpine 9855r and 4speakers and sub and two amps.
when its on my ipod i get NO bass, and the speakers are soo load even when volume is on 0 on hu
BUT
when i flip to my cd, theres good bass but the speakers are pretty quiet
so im having to play with...
www.caraudiosecurity.com and caraudiodirect above.
found both are about the same, choose what ya want and c who is cheaper, got mine from car audio security, wider choice aswel.
Ive got the 9855 and have 2 amps a sub an front and rear speakers. the amps are on the sub and fronts, and rears off hu. so does 3WAY mode mean i can run the rears off the hu on all channels and increase the power going to these?
how do i enable this?
has anyone got the 9855 in a mk1 clio? prob too late now, as got is sitting right behind me, going to fit it tomorrow.
the face is awful angled though and with the cage in the mk1s being at 45' not sure if itl sit right, guess will just have to find out.
haha i neva noticed that eagle eyes but i know why, trying to take it from my car with cam phone and pressed the flip picture button so evreything is reversed lol.
to help the gov with their political correctness thing goin on at the mo, i flipped it back :)
if the speakers are distorting does that not mean their just, well, crap, and cant handle the signal? so ampin thems jus gonna make them worse right?
im not being funny, ive forgotton if thats true or not ?!? :S too late, going to bed lol!
cool. i thought about putting them in the door cards but near the top, but then they sound better if facing you so thought about putting them in the top part of the dash or if i cant be bothered might just put them where the old speakers used to be in the dash.
need to have a think.
Anyone...
i was told so but in my mk1 when i switch it on, it makes a funny sound, like something fizzing or melting ?!? lol dont use it anymore tho, too scared to.
could anyone email me the pics from the mk1 dash removal article or tell me how i remove the top part.
Is it just the three or so torx screws that are vissible and some brute force?
And where have you mk1 owners put your tweeters? im thinking about mounting them in top part of dash. dont...
halfords do have some decent stuff, just 20x more expensive than online. i went up their to have a look at some of the hu's (never ever was going to buy one from there) and had a play with the alpines that have the glide touch and liked it so much went and bought an alpine 9855R of net. cant...
the pic of the speedo was taken on someones phone i think so i jus put it on a bigger canvas, bit of a photoshop amatuer, cant easyily make it bigger. heres one on 1920x1200 canvas tho.
