Ill start with a list of everything

Alpine Double Din DVD IVA-W200
Alpine Nav-NVE-N872A
Alpine 1000w mono amp - MRD-M1005
Alpine 75w x 4 - MRV-F345
Alpine Type-R 10" subs X2 - SWR-1042D
Alpine Type X components - SPX-177R
Alpine Type R 6x9s - SPR-17LS

Plus various fuses and wireing and RCA cables

Im thinking it will should really good, anyone have any thoughts.

lorenwade

That is going to sound amazing.

Expeeeensive!

Taro

It was a little expensive but i got a wicked deal

italstalnprd86

why the hell would you mix type x with type r? to be honest, alpine 6x9 type r's are terrible..... as are all 6x9, and personnally alpine amps are not that great either.... def. not for the money they cost, nice deck though

ryneman

I had dual Alpine type-R 12" subs in my 87 camaro powered by California 450 amps. They would make any womans b**bs bounce......... Dont know about the 10s but I am sure they are great two, the only way to power subs is threw their own mono amps, you are going to lose Ohms if you try to connect two subs to one amp, they still will sound great but not as loud has and deep has they could be. You want 1 Ohm and the setup you will get is 2 Ohm at best if you brigde......... And again, nice deck....... I shop at crutchfield for my audio products....... Where did you get all this equiment??

hondaeater

I agree 100%.

Getting an Alpine Deck **Great Idea**
Alpine Speakers **Not so good**
Alpine Components **Crap**
Alpine Amp's **Not Good At All**
Alpine Sub's **Might As Well Bought Circuit City Brand l**

The one nice thing about the Alpine Amps with the Alpine deck is that you can control the amp's gain thru the head unit. Otherwise, they are crap.

You could have saved yourself a **** load of money with going with an all in one screen-dvd-nav unit.

Personally, I like the Pioneer. I had the D1 Screen, but just upgraded to the Z1 because of the built in bluetooth, dvd player, and single Nav DVD XM and Sirius Not Either/Or. But the best part is, with the Pioneer, it's all in one, no brain to hide

lorenwade

Dude. Do you know anything about quality audio?

Especially since he got all of it from one company, it will sound amazing.

SpecialK

So if I got all lightning audio stuff it'd sound good?


Alpine is a good budget company. A step up from paper cones and foam surrounds found in most cars. But Uber high end they are not. They arent' even middle of the road. SUre it'll soudn better than stock. But great? Hardly.

It really doesnt matter what brand the componets are, as long as the Ohms and RMS and Volts all add up, and yes I do, I have taken several classess and have work at a car, audio sound store. If you think I am full of crap, go to crutchfield.com and read their "http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/S-islvw9I0QBr/learningcenter/lc_index_all.html"

all i like about alpine, is their head units
otherwise, i say, go big or go home

senior_brown

just cause its all one company doesnt mean its gonna sound good, they make nice head units, i had that deck, but i traded it in for my kenwood

i have a set of ample audio components that would blow you away, im a big fan of their high end got a 1200rms mono block powering 2 12" alphasonik 800's it gets loud, lemme tell ya, but i've never liked how an all 'sony' or lol 'pioneer' system sounds,

its all about preference. or how loud and clean you want it to be, me i like loud and clean

too bad i cant fit all this in my car

HackAbuse

People think that Sony sucks until they hear my system

senior_brown

if i could fit that sub box in my trunk mine'd be louder lol

Taro

I love alpine and have had nothing but good experiances with them, and i have gone through lots of systems. I wanted to keep everything alpine, mainly because i got everything at wholesale. The 6x9 types R will be fine, who cares there 6x9s anyways. The type X speakers are wicked clear. And i went with 10s instead of 12s because i didnt want the monsterous bass you get with 12s.

Minus the head unit and the nav the set up only cost me 1450.00 canadian. 1294 american

HackAbuse

Thats the point of having subs

glockglade

just so we're clear alpine is great quality **** especially the type x speakers not the best but for the money they kick ass sure focal and rainbow would be the best but who can afford that are you going to help him pay for it no so shutup and he said he got a kick ass deal probably cheaper than any of you can get without working for an audio company stop being so damn negative. and one more thing if you fon't know what kind of speakers those are you should not even respond to this thread.

glockglade

no it is not you are clearly retarded ever heard of sound quality 10's have a broader frequency range because their cones are smaller giving them the ability to play higher bass frequencies than a 12 or a 15 thus giving them superior sound quality. you can amplify volume of bass by adding watts and speakers general rule of thumb when you double power your db's increase by 3 everytime you do it and one 12 will push the same air as 2 10's.

glockglade

Sony does suck they have never won a major sound quality or spl competition.

hondaeater

Yep! Sony is entry level equipment.

Bro, who cares whatb ppl say. I say, Performance Matters.

If it sounds good, and performs well, and your happy, who cares! I don't know much about sound as I'm more of a Go>Show>Sound guy, but if I saw a whole ALPINE sys, Id be like, wow, thats awesome!

good luck with that either way, and MAKE SURE U GET SOME DYNOMAT. I used to work at Best Buy in Car Audio, its def worth it!

RedBaseBolt

For my Sub I just went with Clarions Competition Series,

12" 2000 watt 15 hz response

It's a monster

senior_brown

like i said, its all abot your personal preference, some ppl think my system is too loud, i ask, is there such a thing as too loud? im always trying to get it louder without losing SQ


some ppl dont like when you can feel your vital organs vibrate lol. i luv it
