Alpine 9855 putting out 1 volt. Any ideas?

i have this deck and it's only producing 1 volt in all of its rca outs. Front, rear and sub - all 1 volt at full volume.

Is there a feature on the deck which controls this or is this deck broken?

I find when my deck does that its related to the power getting interupted on the deck which resets all of the bass boost and loudness and sub control features which tends to greatly reduce the output. Did you disconnect the battery recently?

i measured it with 0 db tone. defeat was OFF and i used a multimeter on the rca outs. measured it at full volume on the deck.

all the settings were set at their normal levels.

are there any other functions other than Defeat that could decrease the output signal? The 1 volt signal is on all of the outputs - front, rear and sub.

Tom does your alpine deck have Loundess setting?

Mine does. If you push the volume button down and hold it for 5 seconds, Loud turns on. Yours might be different, but its worth a shot.


**I have an Alpine deck
