I'm really not sure on car sound systems, I want to get these 3 products but not sure if they are worth there money, can I need someone to shed some light and help me out.

Head Unit: http://www.alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=186

Speakers: http://www.alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=83

Subwoofer x2: http://www.alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=104

Amplifier: http://www.alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=173

Is there a better set up I can get for that price, if so. What, and if people have this setup or have some of these parts let me know there performance. On another note, would they all work together flawlessly?

Depends on how its wired

What car its going into

What is your goal ? Enter contest, show system, just loud , clear , etc

Your music source needs and type of music you listen to

Dont forget wiring and install costs

Sound-deadener for at least the doors in this range of equipment

Charging system of the car , wiring and battery not up to snuff or old as dirt , even class D amps gulp power and a 30 dollar add water jap battery will last a few weeks tops and has poor connectors

Radio is fine for double din opening

Splits are good but overpriced

Subs are good but not my first choice for the cash

Amp is mono so wont run the splits which leaves deck power on those , which would be a huge fail

On type x splits unless your planning a second amp later on to run those ?

I love alpine gear but its not the first choice for everything and if your on a tight budget look elsewhere or do it in stages

Kiss most of your boot goodbye unless you get creative on box for subs in a coupe

really you need to do the shopping and listening

To fit goals , car and budget

You could do a 500 dollar system or 30,000 dollar system , but sound similar if installed wrong

Bump answer the questions above for a more detailed answer

It could work but not optimum and there are much cheaper options even in the alpine brand

What I'm asking is, all that together do you think it's worth it?

The car will be used for personal use, and for parties, Needs to be really really really really really loud. For hardstyle and stuff.

It'll be going into a Nissan Skyline GT-V R34 1998-2000 Model.

Hmmm no it wont be really really loud or clear !! really loud to me is 150+ db and that wont get you anywhere near that 125-30 if your lucky and its buillt right

For parties WTF !! , no

When your serious then talk , your not even in the ballpark for SPL

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
