i have no clue what to put for what.... i have stock speakers and nothing else...just the alpine 9857. what freq and level and db or whatever for the bass and treble should it be? and what power source setting thing should it be on? im sorry if i used the noobish words ever because none of it makes any freaking sense. thanks for the help!!!

 

hmphhh alright i'll bump again monday.

 

it's what you like... kinda a blank post.... if you like more rap then you want more bass , simple stuff like that... I don't understand yet what suggestion you want for your type of music...

 

I've been playing with the settings on the 9857.

It is a little confusing, so far I have just tried to adjust them so I am not fiddling with the controls on every song, and so the system sounds the best.

 

i listen to rap 99% of the time...i dont get the hz setting and the db and grrr i dunno!!!

 

I don't listen to too much rap, but I have the same setup as you, just the HU and stock speakers. I have my BBE on mode 3, Bass at +3 at 80HZ I think, Treb is at +5 at 100 HZ. I like the way it sounds for the kind of music I play.

 

thanks a lot i'll test it out!!!

 

If you'll read the manual, it describes what the different settings of Hz and mHz are for. Basically, you set it to a range. So for bass, do you want all sound frequencies in this "frequency range" to hit hard or soft. Do you want bass all the time or only at certain points of a song. That's really it. Same for treble. As a rule of thumb, set all your bass and treble to 0 before changing the Hz or mHz. Personally, I like my bass in a narrow frequency so my arse doesn't vibrate for the whole song. Treble I widened a little bit, but not too much as my ears get sensitive to everything being high pitched.
