I just had an Alpine CDA-9835 installed in my truck ('95 GMC 1/2 ton single cab) and have some questions about using i-personalize to adjust my crossover and eq settings.
Equipment:
CDA-9835 head unit
EL8A-hp Bazooka tube behind seat (1)
Boston Acoustics CX7e 4"x6" two-way speakers (rear speakers)
factory speakers in doors (front speakers)
XM radio through an FM modulator
Would someone please recommend crossover Hz, db, and db/oct settings and EQ Hz, db, and width settings for the above equipment, with a short explanation, if possible?
Also, any information or websites regarding optimal eq settings for different types of music would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help.
Go to Alpines websight for the time correction, all you need to do is punch in the distances from your head to each of the 5 speakers and they will give you the delay settings. As for the X-overs your hi freq. speakers are kind of weak ( factory fronts and 4 X 6 rears ) so I wouldn't put too much bass in those. I would set the sub @ 80 hz, the fronts @ 80 hz and the rears @ 120 hz. Use the X-over level contorls to balance front to rear and sub level. I'm not a big fan of heavy equalization so I would use these sparingly for your final tweak on the system and don't use much below 100 hz becuase this system really couldn't handle gain lower then that.
