Alpine HU (not 2005 line)

[ngsm13 5,000+ posts]

Slaugh...

Are you a tard? Honestly.

I agree you should never be able to talk about Alpine products. You mis-represent them with your poor attempts at knowledgeable conversation.

The 7892 was one of the BARGAIN BIN HU's from the 2002 model year. I mean, I purchased a 7894 (two steps up from it...) and it didn't have too many SQ features at all. It had weak pre-outs, and time correction. Also, a HPF and a LPF. That's it.

Also, the 9815 and the 9835 are COMPLETELY different. COMPLETELY.

Totally different interfaces, totally different adjustability, and different features. The 9835 is one of Alpine's last great main-market HU's...as far as general quality and SQ go. I mean, I sold TWO 9835's for around $275 shipped in early 2005 (before new models were out). Now, that all the REAL enthusiasts know what's going on...they sell for $350-$450 used on ebay.

The 9835 is the way to go though. 3-way fully selectable xover (so you can run active setup). EQ, great pre-outs, GREAT adjustability, great to use, tons of features.

but we're not talking about SQ features... for most SQ enthusiats, their systems sounds better totally flat and without any other sound customization/boost/loud/whatever... what other SQ features are there to have? unless you consider screensaver and other features as SQ features?

so i guess the HU that sends the best SQ signal to the amplifiers gets the prize... and im sure some hus with a lot less features than others that are much more expensive and fancy, can have a much greater SQ... just think how it can have much better internal components that results in better sound fidelity than other that has lots of other features not based on SQ...

that may be why they love this 7892... i personally havent heard it... luckily someone here has and will tell us how they do sound...

but from now i'll keep my mouth shut about this... i think i still have to listen to it before talking about it...

Yes, definitely listen to that deck(compared to some others.......if you can find an eclipse, listen to that).

I have found that a system that is flat sounds horrible to the ear(this is not the same as your deck being set flat).

By your reasoning, the cheaper decks in a product line should sound better because they have fewer features. Alpine did not put more expensive components in their entry level deck, however. I think there is probably a pretty big difference in the internals of a 7892 and say, my 8250(which retailed for about 5-6 times that of a 7892 when it was released on the market).

An entry level alpine has X # of features and a certain level of quality of the components.

a 9255 or a Macintosh has X # of features and a certain level of quality for its components.

The latter two decks are significantly more expensive than a 7892, and honestly, Alpine has not figured out how to make a $200-$300 entry level deck sound better(or as good) as a $1000 or above clarion/mac/nak or whatever.

I am not saying more money always means better sound(since I think an entry level eclipse sounds better than other decks costing 2-3x more), but you are talking entry level and the elite decks on the market. I will say this, if you(or anyone else) is happy with the cheaper deck, by all means, save your money an don't buy the more expensive one.

but if you REALLY want a good sounding hu (note here we're talking about SQ), well then dude, go for 7998 or 7878... for real, i've been only hearing amazing stuff about these hu's...

Hmmm Really ?

I had the alpine cda 7998... now I have the alpine cda 7949 and the alpine cda 7969...

are you kidding me ?, the alpine cda 7998 can't touch my alpine cda 7949 or my alpine cda 7969.....very very big difference...

the sound quality of the alpine cda 7998 is not very good, the peouts are weak. I just sold it .

Nope there is not comparation....One more thing even my alpine cda 7939 is way better than the alpine 7892.....why do you think the alpine 7892is a good radio,,,why ?(totally wrong)

One more picture :

Yes Alpine is in Torrance california, also eclipse (fujitsu-ten), kenwood about 20 minutes from here, clarion about 15 minutes from Torrance,,,Denon was around this area, but they moved a few months ago.

and yes those are my pictures (I have more), from my Gmc Safari van.....

I translated the page with babbelfish. It was still pretty tough to read, but I found this interesting(by interesting I mean funny)

"Slaugh... a lesson pra vc to take pra all the life. Never, never exactly, but without excessão, nunquinha, it considers the opinion of Americans as reference, when the subject is SQ. SQ in 4 U.S.A. takes subs of 15", 4 kits 2 ways, and escambau the 4.

American is without notion, a covered being exactly. E in this area, is more easy to take the Europeans in consideration, pq they is more sensible... "

Yeah, that's it. The American's aren't sensible when it comes to SQ so ask some Europeans. Is this how they explain why out of the bazillion 7892s sold in the US, NOBODY has ever mentioned anything great(nevermind legendary) about that model's sq. How can this be? Oh wait, it is because Americans are all interested in 15" subs.???????????

don't take any antecipated conclusion about me bro... it's their opinion, i didn't even agree with that... but i agree most users in this forum (not sure if this forum represents well american's taste on car audio) are mostly huge SPL fans... and that's why i still take more consideration on my compartriots opinions about SQ, but i also ask here because you guys have easier access to SQ products that we can't have even dreaming here (seriously, car audio is VEEEEEEEERY overpriced here compared to the states)

it's rare to see someone here with more than 2 subs, and in this forum i say i usually see people with 2 or 4 subs or more...

peace

Yes, most people on THIS forum are probably into SPL, but I am basing my posts on reading several forums(some more SQ oriented).
