Installed almost exactly this system in my car. R2 components up front and S2 coax in the rear with a single sub (dual 4 ohm coils). The amp is good for what I needed. I’m using all 8 channels. The DSP and AutoEQ is a game changer. A 5 minute tune had the system sounding very similar to a B&O system. I will never upgrade speakers without a DSP again.
Gonna add this to my wish list
Sold !!!! I was about to get a Hertz or Steg and maybe the Audio Control - 608. But I have been an Alpine fan since early 90s. Think this is what I want . That auto tune is 🔥🔥🔥. Plus Alpine doesn’t break !!! EVER
Always love alpine oldskool products,but this I’m adding to my existing alpine setup for sure .
Optim8 training was awesome !!! Great presentation and info - well Played Brooks ! (Alpharetta Ga sept 19 2023)
Glad you liked it!
Does the IPHONE app allow for Anti EQ ? Unfortunately I do not have a laptop and had to run in my workshop for Chanel assignment. Plan was to use phone for rest...
Can you do full pass on the amp channels #7 and #8 ( subwoofer channels) ? And can it do DSP on those channels as well as the rca outputs at the same time ?
JL. Time to step it up!
I'd be much more impressed if it made rated power at less than 1% thd. The fuse rating is a dead give away but we've also tested the outputs with dummyload resisters and it doesn't come close to rated
Maxed out channels 7 and 8 at 260w
Manual is unclear will the amp signal sense from low level signal or only high level and REM? Having to use the high level harness just for acc seems a bit much…
How do you use the presets with the auto tune? It seems like you can really only save one setting from the autotune?
What is the model number of the RTA mic you sell for this setup?
I have one on order, but I'm wondering if the Pre-outs are tied to the powered speaker channels? So if I'm using the 150wx2 on ch 7-8 for midbass then will the 7-8 RCA outs receive the same midbass crossover/EQ settings or can they be independently assigned and controlled (for an external sub amp for example)?
Yes the outputs are configured the same. If you want to run the 150 channels to midbass and want to run an external sub amp you would need to use other RCA output for that example channel 5&6 RCA out to sub amp.
@@AlpineTV What are the power ratings at 1% THD? I feel it is misleading customers because the stated power figures are at 10% THD.
Does the app work with carplay?
Can a dsp make 2 channels 4 channels? Not this one necessarily but a dsp
Already purchased one, should be in next week, stoked
Who did you order from? Did they say two weeks or is alpine releasing it in 2 weeks?
@@murdamechanik Crutchfield has them in stock right now.
I want to used an powered subwoofer.
That will be ok?
There is no front 3way input mode selection, isn't possible ?
Does it have Audyssey built-in?
I’m stuck with my factory 2015 Lexus es350 and it just sounds off no matter what I do. Also the bass sounds muddy and boomy even with a sealed box with two 10” infinity subs. I’m running an Audio Control L7ci and although it’s great I am 46 and I’m not in a bass competition I want pure SQ .
This is awesome. Is there going to be a nonamplified version?
Yes, we have more coming. "OPTIM" will be a full line of products for us going forward. Stay tuned.
@@AlpineTV heck yeah! I'm going to be buying one. Do you know if they are going to be in a fairly small foot print? I almost bought the one that just came out, but it's pretty large and I already have amps taking up a lot of space
@@Pete.across.the.street Yes we will have a smaller version for sure.
@@AlpineTVis there a time frame for announcements? Looking forward to get one
There's gonna be an Optim6 soon. Non amplified, with 6 channels of DSP output.
While using the pc app where is the option to switch between internal amplifier or rca outputs?
If you configure the channels to be live, the amp and RCA's are active on those channels. You don't switch between RCA and powered output as they have the same configuration and if they are set on then they are on. Hope this helps.
When you do the auto tune does it also set the gains for each channel?
You would set the gains during the setup process on the EQ page before doing the auto tune.
I have a question, I bought two sets of speakers, Alpine Status 3 way for my front doors and a pair of coaxial status for the rear doors, those speakers are rated at 100 watts RMS, ¿Will this DSP amp be enough to give enough power to each speaker?
Are you going to run a sub? You could run your speakers active (a channel per speaker) and you would have enough power but you would run out of channels if you run a sub. I would suggest with the level of components you have, running the Status DSP amp. It has plenty of channels to run your speakers fully active and have an output for subs. While the Status DSP doesn't do Auto Sound Setup it is very flexible and has the Signal to Noise ratio and dynamic range to work well with your Status speakers. I hope this helps.
Bonjour il est impossible de stocker dans la mémoire de l amplificateur les réglages de l’auto eq,ni avec un iPhone 12 ni avec le micro ktx et le pc.Pourrant le réglage son est très bon tant que tout est connecté,et tout disparaît quand on éteint….plus de basse ,obligé de désactiver l eq pour avoir un son correct,système 4 voies active en stéréo. Merci pour votre solution,appareil neuf.
I'm using OEM HU on my new WRX (11 inch). What's the best way to get high-res audio to the amp? Can I connect a portable music player by USB to the amp's USB port and it will work?
Use the included Bluetooth module, and be sure to download your music to get rid of internet interference . You’ll notice the difference
If you have a R-A60F installed, would this replace it? Can both items be used together? Would it be best to use the R-A60F, with a non amplified Optim 8 when available?
The Optim8 is flexible enough to basically fit into most system configurations so you could completely replace your amp or use it in conjunction with what you already have, just kind of depends on your setup.
You can use the OPTIM8 RCA outputs to run into your R-A60F. That would give you more power of output per channel and you can still take advantage of the Auto Tune feature and have additional channels of amplification available in the OPTIM8 if you needed it. Keep in mind the RCA and amplified outputs on the OPTIM8 are mirrored not independent. Hope tis helps.
Can the 8 RCA outputs have independent DSP control in conjunction with the amplified speaker outputs?
Example:
8 - DSP AMP Speaker outputs for Front left and right mid-bass, mid-range, tweeter, and Rear left and right tweeter. ( 8 SPEAKERS)
8 - DSP RCA Out - Amp #1 Rear left and right mid-bass, mid-range + Amp #2 Subwoofer amp. ( 5 RCA out to external amps)
11 Total DSP Channels - with no external crossovers. Fully Active system.
It's 8 total channels of DSP. The 8 powered channels mirror the 8 RCA channels. You can use both RCA and power output but they will have the same configuration for both. Hope that helps.
Alpine processors are now available at Car Toys!
Hi, I was wondering if Alpine will also be releasing an app for Android users. Can I still tune it even if I don't have an iphone? Should I have the place that does the install tune it instead?
As of right now, this works with PC app or iPhone only. Android has additional complications to make this work correctly but we are still looking into ways to offer on Android devices in the future. IN the meantime the PC app with a mic kit will work great too!
When will this be in stores?
You should start seeing them in stores in the next 2-3 weeks. Possibly sooner just depends on your location.
When will the mic kit become available from Alpine?
Its coming likely next month. In the meantime there are other mic kits available on the market that can be used though.
I apologize if this is a dumb question but this is my first DSP, will the auto tune set the gains for the speakers and Sub or we gotta input that manually..?
How do you retain android auto and send the signal to the dsp Bluetooth it looses alot of potential on the oem head unit . My phone says both are connected but it never plays
Don’t hold your breath for an answer from alpine. I’ve asked several questions pertaining to the operation of the unit and have yet to hear a response. No support means it’s getting returned.
@murdamechanik I haven't tried calling them . But they do have a few local demos near me at times maybe I should show up and ask
Will the app work on a iPad? I'm an android guy but have some older pads laying around
Yes it will work with iPad as well.
Can you use a MacBook for tuning software or it’s only pc
As of right now, its PC or iPhone/iPad, but not Mac OS
How is this going to make all of that power with just an 8 gauge power input. I just received mine and I’m curious.
8 gauge is more then enough...its only 50 watts ... I run 1k on 4 gauge ofc
Use ofc wire not cca
I just bought one, but I have some questions.
1) The power specs say: 50W x 6 @ 4Ω + 150W x 2 @ 4Ω or 50W x 6 @ 2Ω + 300W x 2 @ 2Ω
Can it do: 50W x 6 @ 4Ω + 300W x 2 @ 2Ω?
2) Can you bridge Channels 7 and 8? If so - what impedance can they drive?
Example - Can it do: 50W x 6 @ 4Ω + 600W x 1 @ 2Ω?
Question #1, answer is yes. Question #2, the channels are not bridgeable. if you run a dual 2 ohm voice coil sub you can run channel 7 and 8 to it and get 300 watts per coil (600 watts total to the sub). I've heard this on an R-Series 12" and a R-Shallow 10". It was very impressive. Hope this helps.
None of the channels are bridgeable
@@alpinebrooks7803 hi! i have a single 10" sub 200wms @ 4ohms, can i used either of the ch 7 or 8? is it possible? if ch 7 and 8 rated at 150wrms is i think good enough for me...thanks.
Yes that would work. Make sure you adjust you channels levels appropriate so you get proper volume scaling and the output you desire. @@junjunlecaroz5393
What kind of setup is in the bronco?
The Bronco was just for demonstration purposes in this case but we do have Bronco specific products in the works. Stay tuned.
Only can used iPhone, no Android?
We have a software update coming that will allow it to work with android as well.
How will this work on motorcycles?
Very well
Can you bridge channels 7 and 8?
These cannels double in power from 4 ohm to 2 ohm, but they are not bridgeable. Hope this helps.
HOLY SHIT
How does this handle setting gains? Can it detect distortion?
The levels are set manually on the EQ page of the software by channel. There is no clipping indicator in the software. Hope this helps.
When it will come to EU market, especially Germany... I'm waiting 😁😁😁
I tried these systems many years ago, numerous companies were making digital processors some built into head units some external the problem is they just don't work! so don't waste your money on them.. .
Sounds great but I’m not smart enough or time enough to set this thing up. I just want plug and play.
2 months in and already had to uninstall it and take it to warranty. A real cheap downgrade coming from a previous generation alpine amp. already has been analyzed by some technicians and doesn't have enough internal components to handle what is marketed as to do (4 speakers and a small sub)
That pic is kinda cringy
Its supposed to be 😉😂
Yet another half-way video about how to set these things up. Totally ignores the secondary pop up windows that appear during the input and output portions of the initial set up, no explanation of how to determine the time correction for the drivers side and completely glosses over the other 5 preset settings and how to save them. This is not a DIY piece of equipment, way too many assumptions made by Alpine that people buying this are already decently versed in how to set up a DSP. Returning my OPTIM6 and going with an AudioControl unit, at least there are actual comprehensive training videos available for them.
