I think I have narrowed it down to a Alpine CDE-HD138BT Alpine CDE-HD138BT CD receiver at Crutchfield.com or a Pioneer DEH-P9400BH Pioneer DEH-P9400BH CD receiver at Crutchfield.com The Alpine is $80.00 more both have everything I want the pioneer seems to be easier to navigate but its hard...

Hey everyone my Alpine CDA 9831 finally died after 7 good yrs. The CD function stopped working . Anyway I now need a replacemnt along the same lines, something with built in Satellite capabilities, good pre out voltage seperate rca outs for 4 speakers and a subwoofer. I am running two amps in my...

I have had an entry level pair of CDTs in my Rav for 6 yrs and they still sound awesome crisp and clear. Not to bright CDT is definately quality.

Believe it or not you can still get the original PG RSD's from Woofersetc I just bought a set. When I built my first system they were all the rage for a entry level component well building another system I thought what the heck lets try them and they sound great! A little bright but for $100.00...

The vendor offered the sub as a dual 4 ohm when I purchased it I ask them to wire it up as a dual 2 ohm which they did by putting speaker wire from one coil to the other which I removed. At least thats how I understand it. But then again I found out the hard way today all speakers should be...

So a buddy and I installed a complete system in my 2000 Nissan Sentra yesterday. Of course it came with some complication. Had to build up the front doors because of the window hitting the speaker. (According to car Man. & speaker Man.) it should have fit as is. Also found out the hard way...

Ok I have been wanting to ask this question for awhile. I know there is a big difference in SQ between a store bought CD and a dubbed CD. I want to know if the SQ of an IPod is better or worse than origianl CD's. Now if an IPod gets loaded off of CD's that are on a PC library isnt the dubbing...

Wow I would have never guessed this post would get so much reply! I have not seen the system yet so I cannot verify what he really has. But......... I did call the best buy where he bought the items and they had a small quantity of Polks and will sell there full line next month. Anyone who...

So a friend of mine heard my system a month ago and calls me today to say he got the bug and bought a system. Well after not taking my advice he went to BB and got smoked they actually told him to get the majority of sound out of the back with 6X9's and small coax in the front. They tried to...

I bought this Pioneer HU for my sister in 2005 to run her stock speakers, she used it for maybe a yr. and the car died I pulled it out and it has been in my closet since. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Ii9cmyJgI8L/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=130dehp670 So I am getting a work beater and thought...

I just bought an SR 12" last month and the quality still seems to be there, and it sounds awesome. When I called 2 months ago they were just getting ready to move and consolidate and said things were going to be even better. I sure hope thats true reading this thread worries me, I am a rue blue...

As you can see most people agree about the Alpine comps. Do some research. I also feel if long lasting quality is what you want look at good sets of comps not budget sets, the RSD's get rave reviews but they are a budget line speaker and have some glitchs. You have gotten good advice on here on...

Definately a nice ride! Well it sounds like you made your decision already but I will throw in my opinions. 1. Alpine makes an awesome head unit but the 1 you are looking at is only a 2 volt pre out 4 volt is better. 2. Alpine amps also kick butt so good choice. 3. Alpine speakers are there...

Excellent post very informative. You have convinced me to try a set of these. I am going to take the time to install these for 2 months and compare them to my CDT's I have a friend who will buy them when I am done and if I like them better I will keep them. I am pushing the same wattage you are...

I dont want to overtake the posters thread but let me just say if you read my thread I said they are a decent speaker but WAY OVER RATED! They may sound great but if they fry in less than a yr then they are JUNK!!! So take your juvenile a** comments about the music I like and F off. Maybe you...
