2008 Alpine Catalog

[bikinpunk 10+ year member]

I was disappointed to see the IVA-W205 still in the catalog, however.
Hoping I could get a nice price from Crutchfield when they clearanced the W205 for the new model......but apparently Alpine isn't dropping the W205 yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I'll be selling my w205 as soon as the w505 hits. Hit me up around then if you're still looking for one. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

but I wish the channel powering the sub was around 450w instead of 300.

You won't hear the difference anyway...

You will, too! 1.5db increase! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

It really does seem as though Alpine's stepped things up finally. I mean, I'm not blown away, but at least their new lineup has new items and not the same old crap.

I miss the days of the old V12 series. Good old fashioned clean power.

The pdx's are clean power. 90% efficient amp. A guy on DIY tested one himself and it was 92% efficient. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Never heard a PDX amp in person. They're also hella expensive.

meh, not too bad.

I got a 4.100 and a 2.150 for a under 500 bucks shipped.

Looks more promising than some of the stuff they've been putting out recently. I can't wait for CES so we can see what else will be new this year.

Where did you get your PDX amps from & are they from an authorized retailer or bought used?
