Help with Alpine i-Personalize settings
I was wondering if anyone could help me out setting up my CDA-9815 deck. I was on the i-Personalize page however I cant seem to figure out how to set up my Parametric EQ and Crossover Control.
I listen to mostly house, trance, ect.. the car is a Protege5 hatch
I have the following components:
--- FRONT AND REAR ---
CDT Audio CL-6X (6.5” Coaxial)
Midrange: 6.5”
Mounting depth: 2.5”
Crossover: separate in-line 12 dB.
Tweeter: Swivel .75" silk dome
tweeter for perfect imaging
Power handling: 90 watt
Frequency response: 60Hz-20kHz
Sensitivity: 91.3 dB.
Impedance: 4 Ohm
--- SUB ---
Infinity Basslink
Power Output: 200w rms
Frequency Response (+- 3dB): 20Hz – 100Hz
Variable Bass EQ: +3dB to -6dB at 45Hz
Variable Electronic Crossover: 50Hz – 120Hz

It took me a while to get a handle on the ipersonalize, but once i got it, it's great. I have a 9855
You can try a whole bunch of different settings, save them all to disk and try each one to find out what works best.
You need to start with some very basic settings and experiment from there. I'll assume you have different amps for front, rear and sub?
Set the Sub Crossover for 80hz, 12db slope, 0 level.
set front and rears for 100 hz, 12db, I'd recommemd going down about 2 or 3 db so you can make use of the sub level control. Like i said try a whole buch of settings to see what sounds good.
The EQ settings can be used to adjust for all sorts of accoustics but try what you like.

Hmm.. ill use your recommendations as a base
Im not running any amps, just the deck and the infinity basslink..
Front and rear -> 100 hz, 12db 0 level.
Sub -> 80hz, 12db slope, 0 level (-2 to 3db)
Also, how exactly do you measure the distance of the speakers for time delay? my rear speakers are in the lower part of the rear doors.. should I measure it the same way as I would the fronts or leave them alone?
I also have some tweeters in the mirror pods if it matters any

Hey Professor, glad to see you're up and running with the 9815
For measuring speakers, since you have tweeters and mids in different locations in the front, I would average out your distance from the tweeter and mid and input that value.
I'd also measure the rears... your right rear is probably quite far compared to the left rear.
The nice thing about the 9815 is that you can have different time correction values assigned for each preset button. That means you can have one preset for when you are alone, one for when you have a front passenger, and you can defeat the TC when you have a car full of people.
