Calling Alpine HU owners

[Linus]

save up loh. i hunted for nearly a year for a used 9833. simply cant find any.

[Valencia]

will do just tat...trade in my current one to reduce the price if possible , damn i shouldn't listen to Gad..he is trying to convert me ....but the alpine convince me

[Linus]

yeah, come to the dark side, luke.

[Kwongwing]

Hi Linus,

Saw that you finally installed an Alpine HU - paiseh couldn't locate a 2nd set for you

I actually only just took out my 9835 last week - but already reserved by others half a year ago liao

Hope that you are enjoying your Alpine sound

[Linus]

no worries, dude.

 

yeah. enjoying it every minute. today juz learn the media expander gives very good basey effects.

[Kwongwing]

Hey! The Media Expander is actually meant to restore the dynamics for music in compressed form e.g. MP3 format - not for boosting dynamics in music already in uncompressed form It is essentially an advanced "Loudness" setting.

For my former Alpine unit - 9835 - there were 3 settings for the Media Expander with varying effect. I found the settings overly bright for my liking in general.

Don't know how your set-up is but for a start, if you have a 4-channel amp can try running an active set-up to maximize your front component speakers' potential - world of a difference (when properly set-up) as compared to a regular passive system.

[Linus]

opps. pai seh. i thot its something like loudness, to enhance the base effects.

 

learn something new.

 

9855 only has "on" or "off" media expander. no other settings.

 

my setup now is 9855 HU. the rest all stock. no amp, no sub, no components, no tweeters.

my setup now is 9855 HU. the rest all stock. no amp, no sub, no components, no tweeters

 

invest on sub-woofer/power amp 1st lor....ur buddy frequently go-ovr PG, get him to buy woofer box ovr there...cheaper..

[Kwongwing]

If want to get more oomph ... can play with the EQ settings! rather than use the Media Expander.

But if you really like the sound then it doesn't really matter

Anybody know what are the numbers for me to "mimick" the preset Rock in the Custom setting? ... I like the sound, but finding the highs a bit sharp, so just replicate the rock sound with lower trebles on my 9853...

[Gadgeter]
