The new 2005 Alpine units (9847 and 9851) are in stock at Crutchfield. No more "out of stock until 2/28" message. At the local shops around here, they all still say next month. So I called Crutchfield and they confirmed it is true, they are in stock, so I placed my order for a 9851. Just...

Any word on the price of the CDA-9855?

Well, I went ahead and got them to do everything. I ended up getting one 10" Quantum sub, an amp, a custom box, and installation for $370 including tax. Sounds great too! I love it. I didn't want too much bass, so it turned out perfect.

The speaker I'm going to install is an RE 10, not 8. I don't want two amps...I think that'd be a little too much and a little costly for what I'm trying to do. I'm also looking for the cheapest with the best quality (who isn't?!).

He told me they were crackling because I was trying to put too much bass into the speakers at loud volumes, and the speakers aren't designed to handle that. See my new thread: http://www.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?p=449895#post449895 Thanks!

I went to a stereo installer here in town, and he was trying to pressure me into installing a Quantum 10" subwoofer (or a JL 10" for $99), a (5-channel?) amp, a box, etc. I told him I was just going to get the subwoofer somewhere else and have them install it. He then asks which subwoofer I'm...

Man, I hope they're not blown. Is there any easy way to tell if they're blown without getting someone to check them out? I might take it to someone tomorrow and see what's going on.

I replaced my factory front door speakers with Polk Momo's and had Circuit City install them. A few weeks after this I ordered some rear panel speakers (Chevrolet Silverado) by Polk and I replaced them myself. When I turn the music up semi-loud the music starts crackling. Someone told me it...

Which would sound better, 4 RE 8's or 2 RE 10's? What kind of amp would it take to power them? I may be looking at doing this sometime this summer. Right now I think I'm going to get lojack installed...someone I know just got their truck stolen where I'm probably about to start working.

I just went to a local stereo installer, and asked them for a quote on a sub package. I basically told him I wanted something that wasn't too expensive but sounded good, and I wasn't looking for something to be really loud. I asked him about the RE8's, and he said he had never heard of them...

And these could fit in a box so that I wouldn't lose any leg room? What is a good (but cheap) amp I could get that could power these? Sorry, I'm a newbie at this and I have lots of questions!

Thanks for the great information!! A cut through just wouldn't be possible for me. Too much money, and I don't want to lose any space in my truck bed. What all retail stores that you know of carry RE8's? I can't seem to find any retail store locators on their website. Alan

Can anyone give me a URL to a website that sells these?

I didn't even know I was getting posts to this -- I thought it would email me! Anyway, what do you mean by "cut through"? Also, what would be a good amp to run these?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, it's a single cab. I don't want a box that will take up so much room that I cannot move my seats back. I don't have a center console (just a seat), and I don't want to lose that either. I need some advice for a setup that will...
