alpine imprint system

Wow, everything that Diyon said is EXACTLY what happened to my system...... 9887, alpine 4100, etc......

Had the imprint done twice.....  same results.  One exclusion, the staging was crap in my vehicle.  I have since gone to the Alpine SQ guru in my area and he says,  TURN IT OFF and tune by ear / hand.  If you are using Imprint, there is no adjusting anything when it comes to freq.....  or taking a look at what was sampled and or stored.

I have since hand entered all the values for distance.....  and run the unit mostly flat and it sounds much better to me.

My 2 cents.......

Yes, and "completely manually" creates FAR better results, IMO.  It is pretty time consuming, however, and probably pretty intimidating to the average user.  The Auto EQ is either on or off, unfortunately, and not user adjustable once it's loaded.  You can, however, use a computer connected to the Imprint processor and adjust the settings then reload them back into the device, but I did not try this method.

The thing to notice here is the term "had" This thing was total crap! As you found out the auto turn on did not work... the first pain.

Then if turned on by the trigger I had to run.... it wouldn't shut off. From a SQ stand, lame at best. highs so friken high, and lows were

non existant. No volume either. Not user or installer friendly.......... its gone now, so is my stock head. Life is good
