ptcary Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Ok disregard my voltage info, you have a 5V pre out, so that is not a problem for you. Sorry about that.

littleitaly1990 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 yep preout is fine....and that Eq does allow me to make it louder, but I haven't got a freaking clue how to set it properly....I don't know anything about bands, etc. So I'm lost and afraid I might ruin something...

wL<3bass Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 should be a "loud" setting on your HU (I don't know much about alpine, I'm a kenwood/pioneer fan) and the EQ the frequency increase as you go left to right left is bass/midbass center is vocals and right is treble.

If you are messing with the EQ at lower volumes, you will be fine. Alpine didn't make these units easy to navigate through. I think you have a 5 band EQ, can't tell if you can select the actual bands or not, but you are wanting to control mids/highs so maybe 1000 hz 3000 hz, 5000 hz 10000 hz and 15000 hz are probably starting points. It also offers you choice of how wide you want the Q, meaning if you select 3000 hz as yout center point, and the widest Q on a scale of 1 to 4 I think, then you would be boosting probably 2500 hz to 3500 hz range around that center point. It takes me a few weeks to get mine set, then I mess with it some more. Remember also on Alpines the EQ is source dependent, so You have to set it up for each source you use, Radio, XM, CD, CD changer, ect.
