Im not the most experienced person but I feel like they are a solid brand. Quality stuff but most doesnt match up to the bigger names. Its some of the best stuff you can get from best buy and places like that. They do make the low end real cheap stuff. For subs the type rs and Xs are pretty good subs. and some of their amps are decent. Overall there a pretty decent company i wouldnt call them great but i wouldnt call them bad either.

They do make some nice head units though. obviously they have the cheaper ones but they do make some really nice ones for a bit more change.

Head units are great -especially the older models. They make good subs, amplifiers, and speakers (I've owned quite a few over the years) but I wouldn't buy any of there other equipment anymore. Just my personal preference.

What kind of setups do your ragging friends run? If you like your system, just tell them to shut the fuck up. You could always upgrade to type r or x and get a more powerful amp. Those subs can be suprisingly loud.

x2. What are your ragging friends run?

I like alpine - I've had some good luck with their head units - the 9885 and 9886... some of the older head units as well. The old v12 stuff was allright in my book too. I've ran the type r comps and they hung for a while even though they were far beyond their power handling.

All in all a good brand, some solid gear.

im not a fan of the newer, or lower end stuff

the old h/u's were amazing for their time, but the new ones get overshadowed by pioneer and kenwood, same goes for most of their speakers.

old type x 3-ways were bomb though.

in general, i wouldnt run them, they went the way of Bose, lower quality, less innovation, higher prices, and got themselves more "mainstream"

comp sets i'll pass on

subs i'll run the r's or x's

amps they do what they need to, not the best out there but they do as advertised

The product all depends on what you expect out of a system.

Alpine isn't an SPL based company so of course you can't expect it to be. But in the proper instal, you can expect some of their stuff to be clean and get loud.

Also with all companies with a large line card, some lines are better then others.
