    Alpine CDA-7878 owners / Feedback,Review Needed

    I originally paid $800 for my deck brand new (plus tax), then an additional $200 for the transport repair. It is still one of the best-sounding decks ever. You got a deal.

    Alpine CDA-7878 owners / Feedback,Review Needed

    Mine did that a while back. Sent it to Alpine's authorized repair facility and they charged me $200 for the repair. I haven't even taken it out of their shipping box after fixing up my 7878, so it's ready to go... and, for sale.

    Hello New Mexico?

    I won't post my name here (PM or EM me), but you might know me (or my brothers). I graduated from La Cueva in 1991, my next brother in 1992, and my youngest brother in 1993. I drove an electric blue Toyota MR2 at the time of graduation and an ugly ol black Celica before that. Both of which...

    Hello New Mexico?

    Yep, I'm in Alb. Been building systems for 20 years. Worked for a few shops for a while, back in the day. And... graduated from La Cueva over 15 years ago. Go Bears, scooby

    Hello New Mexico?

    Barely. I haven't been on the CA in a while. Not many NM folks online.

    Most efficient 3000+rms mono amp??

    Absolutely. Don't forget... you only get out what you put in (plus loss of efficiency). Most stock alternators can barely feed a 1000W RMS system properly without dipping the system to low-volt discharging battery voltage in a matter of moments. You are absolutely correct to be seeking...

    Most efficient 3000+rms mono amp??

    Mmats is nicely under-rated. It does well in the lanes and in IASCA because of that. They don't brag about their real ability to do above rated power in "car-on" situations because of it. Have you heard the term "cheater amp"? I have never heard a "turn on" thump with mine. It was the first...

    Most efficient 3000+rms mono amp??

    Rock/alt. songs that hit hard

    no doubt!... You should hear it on ~2400 Watts through a pair of "fat bastard" Phoenix Gold Titanium Elite 12"s that get louder, the lower they go! Oh boy it tickled.
