  1. I really enjoyed No Hands. Great job there! Speed up and bass boost make the songs sound great again! Please keep making more songs! Down on me, stay fly, salt shaker, yeah (usher) are a few that I can think of
  2. Hi I have a question which I cannot figure out. So far Im inclined towards the 9887, but I want to make sure Im doing the right choice. The HU will power Type X components (or image dynamics not sure yet) which for now will be passive. Later on I will power them with a SAX-100.4 and yes there will be subwoofers I will mainly use the ipod function. I wont be using HD radio, XM or the BT. I want something thats easy to use, friendly user interface and best quality. I want to go towards the 9887 because of the 3 way crossover, even though Im not 100% sure what it is (or if Im ever going to use it), Ive heard a lot of people complain about the 117 because its missing this feature, and by the time I figure it out and I dont want to be out of luck. Specially if I will end up needing it. However, I also read a lot of people saying the 117 is just as good even without the 3way crossover, it comes with a built-in USB and that it has better ipod interface? (just saw videos on youtube, the ipod interface seems the same) Dont really know what else is this 117 hiding behind since there is not many user reviews out there so far. Comments/tips are welcome
  3. Ok so XS65 = X65 paired with the X28 tweeter. Will do a little bit more research but so far they look really good, hopefully they also sound good as well. I wish I had a place to hear and test the Type X so that way I would get an idea of how they sound. Ill prob pass by best buy and hear the type R to have an idea.
  4. @skittlesRgood Yeah I mean, I was originally planning to get Type X ($~350) so if Im going to be getting something else, then it has to be around that price. Image dynamics sounds like a good company and I had few people telling me about it before. I dont understand the difference between XS65 and the X65 (which are image dynamics top of the line) I think XS65 comes with the tweeter and the X65 doesnt? If so, is the tweeter included in the XS65 the X28 tweeter? Basically their XS65 set is their top of the line right? (Not considering the 6x9 or 5x7 since Im not getting irregular sizes) @2k2 Those crescendo did sound nice! I cant imagine how good they would sound if I was right in front of the car. Will def keep them in mind. Are they a company who just got into the car audio market? Im surprised they have their speakers nicely priced. @Cheese Always heard good things about RE subwoofers, but nothing about their components. $400 for them, would need more comments about them. Basically this were the 4 brands that I was recommended Diamond Audio Image Dynamics Alpine Type X Pioneer Premier I have already checked into Type X, Image dynamic looks great so far and I just checked Diamond Audio and they dont fall behind. However, one thing I dislike about DA is that they only handle 80watts RMS. Was expecting them to be around 100 like most others.
  5. Checked your links for the Boston and their premium ones are $1k a pair? Thats a little too much. I know I said top of the line but thats just ridiculous for a pair of components. About the Crescendo, havent heard at all about them. $100 a pair, but would like more info about this company and their sets first. I was checking Rockford Fosgate T2s, read nothing special about them. Something is telling me to just buy the SPX-17PRO and see how good they perform, then see if I would need to change them. Knowing the quality of Alpine, I suppose I wont get disappointed.
  6. Hi Im thinking about replacing factory speakers and buying some components. They will be powered by an Alpine 9887 and for now, I wont have them with an amplifier, but they will soon be active with a SAX-100.4 I was thinking about going for the Alpine type X, but I honestly dont have much experience with components to certainly know they are exactly what Im looking for. Also, there seems to be a lot of brands that offer good components but I would like some input. What are some top of the line components?
