Freeway Car Audio Private Sale

[predator]

alpine had alot better stuff a few years ago, now they r 2 main stream and they are cutting corners on the quality of their work!

Apparently Alpine will soon be producing a lot of their stuff in China to save costs. Pretty good sign to me they're trying to go mainstream.

Notice how all their current marketing is all now quoting dodgy stuff such as peak power, power quoted @ 14.4v and things like that

hmm, what to buy, what to buy ...

[sniffy]

well amps are actually made to run at 14v so really that aint too bad...but there should be a law that things should be advertised as a medium...rms etc

[funkymonkey]

mmm focals are good

i always go for stuff like nakamichi, focal, rockford fosgate etc when buying stuff...

besides the fact that you get a certificate with rockfords saying "this amp has been tested and rated at 429.2 WRMS" you also get a nice solid feelin piece.

I've got about 2 grand... a 12" tarantula should be around $600 each (well das how much my mate picked em up for at the last Freeway invite only sale), i'll get 2 of them, and with the rest of the money i'll get some competition focal splits and maybe a couple of kruddy Alpine 3way 6.5"s for rear fill in.

Amp can wait till later.

haha.. you are mister SQL boy aren't ya munky..

I'd rather buy a bigger turbo than spend $2k on my car though.

I did buy with pioneer and sony and the like for 4 years, so i want fair bit better than that.. but i'm not spending a fortune.. most of the time i wanna listen to the engine anyway if i'm pushing it..

[Horus]

Can anyone think of a good amp to power my speakers? I was thinking of getting an alpine v12, but you guys are making me reconsider my decision

Having said that tho, the sound quality of my alpine system is crystal clear, if you dont believe me just ask others

[predator]

..but there always is better, there always is better! no matter what you own, no matter what car you drive, there always is always something better somewhere, out there

[funkymonkey]

Nothing can beat a Morel handcrafted tweeter system with Mark Levinson Aplifier and Bezel subs... these three things are probably worth more than my car, and it can make it seem like J-Lo was singing her shit in a skimpy bikini right next to you in your passenger seat.

[funkymonkey]

Morel tweeters are some of the few in the world you can plug straight into an amplifier without a crossover... they cost about $1000 a piece

There is no point having something that expensive and clear in a sports car, mayb if u had a bentley or royls royce then it would be worth it

[predator]

yer, waste of money to spend *too* much... its still only car audio.. save the big bux for your home.

[Guest INASNT]

the only music u need when driving a nice car is the sound of the engine reving to 9000rpm!!

[funkymonkey]

followed by the spund of your piston blowing...

hehe... well the new lexus 4WD comes with a Mark Levinson system which retails for about 10 grand... but with the 4WD you get it for 6 grand.

I agree that hi fidelity is best left at home, and crudeness rules on the road. But I'm not a big SPL fan, I am however a big R&b fan, and I really like hearing the voices of people, that's why clarity is important to me.

i think a car sound system will always sound better than a home theatre system (depending on what is installed and who installed it)

but when your talking performance, you gotta leave it out. but that doesnt mean you cant have both....its just a handicap, as in, i can tell the difference when i have 1, 2, or 3 passengers...but its still "fast"(compared to my old hyundai:D)

but then a system in a hyundai will sound(and feel better) than a skyline!

its all about what you want your car to perform like and sound like, and how much mulla you have in your pocket at the time!!!

i disagree, a home entertainment system will always sound better!

rickys sound better than gaj's and hasaana monaro. Hasaana is getting a ferrari 360 or 355 very soon, that guys days a multi millioniar and could easily afford 1 for each of his family members.

[funkymonkey]

haha tell me about it. i'm waitin for the day i get my gtr, so i can drive up there and beat the pants off gaj's supra... should be fun, stock 89 gtr on stock 91 supra...

[funkymonkey]

i wonder who'll buy his monaro if he sells it... if i could afford it i'd get it...

[sniffy]

well we're entitled to our own opinion! but like i said...if the right stuff is set up in the right car it will own any home theatre...the sound dynamics of the interior of the car means you get the full experience of every driver (if position correctly) with no interferece:D

i doubt he will bother selling it, he will prob just keep it lying around till he gets bored and sells it dirt cheap!

ricky told me that about 2 days after hassan forked out 50k cash for his monaro he rocked up to freeway and handed him a cheque for 17 grand and told him to install whatever he wanted as long as it was all good quality stuff!!
