Alpine CDA-9833 settings

[Peter Geddes]

I've just bought the above unit and is currently connected to the standard
Vauxhall speakers. It's connected directly to the battery with 17Amp cable.

What I'd like to do is get some bass!! My old unit had Bass 2, Bass 4, Bass
6 etc. and you could hear the bass going up.

At the moment, I've got a lot of treble and would like to know what to
adjust to get more bass and reduce the treble. CrossOvers and Time
Correction are a new ball game to me! It's referred to as Equalizer Curve in
the manual.

There are no amplifiers or sub woofers attached, just the standard car
speakers.

It's seems to be a really good unit, lots of features.

Thanks

Option 1.

You need to press the menu button and hold it in, you then have a menu where
you
can change the user equalizer. Play with the low end stuff till it sounds
right.

Option 2.

Go to Alpine website and set it up on there, you can then download the
settings to cd.
Might make more sense to you as it is graphical and obvious what the
settings will do.
Might be worth a look here first even if you go with option 1.

Option 3.

Press the MX button. If you press the button and hold it in you can select 3
different levels.
The values are stored for CD, MP3 and Radio, so you can have a different
value for each one.

Option 4. (possibly)

Get a sub. I have a CDA-9833 in a 2002 Astra, bass does sound pretty poor
without a sub. I
tried the MX button and it did give me the bass but I was not happy with the
sound quality
compromise. Added an Alpine MRD-301 amplifier and a Type R 12" Sub, sounds
great now.


Suggestion. Go to web site and have a look at the configurator for the 9833,
it will become
obvious then what the settings do.
