Not happy w/new Alpine headunit

You definately need to read the manual and have a great amount of experience to set up the new alpine decks, it takes me a good hour to set up the cda-9830 and up to the 9835.   There is just wayyyyy to many functions.

Turn off your MX, its only to be used on poor radio stations to boost the bass.    Once your deck is all set up, all you should have to play with is the volume, and the sub volume.

Shouldn't he just use the headunit crossovers for the highpass and sub?  I read somewhere that the digital crossovers in headunits like that are superior to the active analog crossovers in most car audio amplifiers.

AlpineGuy, why do you suggest running both deck and amp crossover for the sub.  Doesn't this create a steeper than desireable cutoff slope and have the potential to cause some strange dips / phase problems?

I guess I would simply use the headunit crossovers and turn off the crossovers on the amp.   80hz for both would be a good starting point I think.
