Ya know, i agree with you daryl, i am seriously thinking about selling my alpine 9835 and going with something else because of the lack of bass it produces, i find the same as you. |

Lol, maybe Alpines just have a flatter frequency response. Regardless, I get plenty of bass out of my 7831.

Daryl, sometimes a cheaper HU will give you more bass. What is deceiving about that is, the bass you get isn't always what's in the music. Sometimes it's called distortion.
What some units do is, take a small part of a sound wave, and amplify it many times. It may sound good sometimes, especially if it mixes well with the background music. However, that in a scope might show a distorted wave.
The point I'm trying to make is, the loud bass you hear isn't always real.
From my experience, rap or any songs with heavy bass will sound reasonably good. But in that same environment, if you played a classical cd, you'd see how much of the bass/music was being distorted. In classical, if you over amplify certain part of sound frequency, it'll sound terrible. |

the default "flat" setting for the sub pouts on the 9811 are less than 4V.
turn the sub out level up to about +5 and you'll be at a 4V output and it should sound normal.

Yeah, that makes sense. My 7831 doesn't have sub outs and I'm using an 8v max PPI frx-456 anyways.
