Alpine Imprint

Anyone using the Imprint with their cda-117 to run active? If so how does it perform and is it easy to use for tunning? Or any imfo on this combo would be good.

which imprint modelt you talking about? I plan on doing it with an older combo. cda-9884 and ktxh100 i think is the combo I got. I plan on running active but, it is only meant for a 2-way set up its only got a front,rear and sub hook up. unlike other processors (or maybe the new ones) that has a front, center, rear and sub.

Unfortunately, I probably won't be using it full active because of this. I have a 3-way component and a sub in my car and in order to use the imprint with it I'd have to re-install my active crossovers for my 3-way. It would still be bi-amp so the 6.5 will not share the same signal as the 4 and tweeter.

As much as I have read the imprint is simple to use and to tune but, we shall see. I know the latest version of the imprint is made for intergrating the oem equipment to after market.

If I do install it I'll be sure to post about it.

imprint is pretty easy to use, it just lacks greatly. i found that it just moved the stage and brightened up the tweets on the 4 ive used it on.

Is the imprint needed for that cda117 to go active or can it do it alone?

Imprint is needed for advance functions

the cda-117 by itself does not have the xover stage to run active, the Imprint is needed if you want to go that route.
