You have some good choices...and probably won't be unhappy with either... However, I am an Alpine user...and like people who use Mac's, we just don't think there is anything better on the market... My HU powers Boston Acoustics in the front and a pair of BA 6x9's in the rear...and I have a...

That's the thing about the RE folks...you have to call them on the phone...actually talk to a live person, who will answer your questions and you start thinking that this guy actually gives a s%$# about my business... Kinda nice for a change... I paid about $50-60 each for my RE8's...about the...

There are no prices on the website...with the RE8 folks, you have to call them up and talk to a live person...which is kinda nice, really...you ask your questions, you get answers...you talk to a person who gives you the impression that he really gives a s*%^ about you and wants to help... I...

I have RE8's...love them... Check out my response to another post here... http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149412

I would go straight to RE8... About 2 years ago I posted the same question on this forum...listed about 4-5 8" subs I was interested in...almost all the responses I got referred me to the RE8... I had never heard of them...but one of the guys gave me a link...they were about $50 each... I...

None of those suggestions work or apply to the 9833... Man, I though someone would have a 9833 that would know the answer...

Dumb question I know...I can set the time in the clock... But I cannot figgure out how to display the clock...I am trying to have the display show the time as the default...but I can't even get the clock to show up on the display... The book is hard to follow thru, and I don't have any...

Thanx guys... This opens the door to a couple more questions... If I rip my original CD's to MP3's, and the MP3's have tags, why do the original CD's not have tag's???...that tag info, it seems to me, would have to come from the original CD... I will have to go thru my connections to the sub...

Hi guys... Alpine 9833... when I play MP3's the text scrolls the tittle and artist no problems... When I play regular CD's, I do NOT get the text scroll...no matter what combination of buttons, switches, etc I cannot get the text scroll to work with normal CD's... Is there some switch...

That's it... Thanx a million... Steve

I have a pair of RE8's in a custom box... Surface mounted... I need 2 - 8" grills...preferably black wire mesh... I would like grills with a ring that you screw to the box first...then the grill fits into the ring...thus eliminating the hold down pieces that stick out on the sides of the...

Thanx guys...GOOD ideas... I think I'm gonna do the double side insulaton tape...slightly stick on both sides...I can still get the subs off...but should seal real good... Thanx

I'm getting ready to mount a pair of RE8's into a box I made... They will be surface mount... Do I need to lay a thin bead of silicone to "seal" between the frame and the box??? Or is just screwing them down good enuf??? Thanx Steve

I assume that by "polyfill" stuffing in a cabinet, you are referring to the material you get to stuff into pillows from a fabric store... If not, then what exactly is polyfill and where do you get it??? How much do you use???...Do you pack in it hard with just barely enough room for the...

Jack, I agree with you...but I guess what I am trying to determine is... Exactly what is a "properly done chassis ground"... In computer networking, which is what I do, we have to consider ground loops, incorrect grounding...and taking the ground back to the battery is what we would consider...
