New Headunit Question

bkathsalero · 11-27-2009, 08:55 PM

So today I bought a Brand new Alpine CDA 9886. I have a question about it though.

On the bottom there are 3 swtiches to switch from "NORM" to "EXT AP" I was wondering what these are for. Thanks for the help and here is a picture

Those control whether it uses the internal amplifier/audio processor directly or not. Unless you also bought some other fancy Alpine gear - Leave Them Alone!

I have the Imprint sound shaping module whcich needs these switched, almost nothing else does... Highly recommended if you want REALLY good sound, along with an amp. Have fun!

It just amazes me how people cheap out on the speakers that make the biggest difference.
