1. What is time correction? i quite like the look of JVC's cheap double din headunits, but obviously if it will sound bad, no point 2. So, the back speakers can stay stock? or perhaps no where near as good? (Type R fronts and type J or S rears?) 3. would it be better to get a 2 channel amp and save money over getting a 4 channel? 4. i only have really been basing around RMS wattage of speakers, i dont really have anywhere local that have speakers set up available for listening, so i really do need to go off of advice thats given I think deep down i know that Alpine are going to be good, i've had type S's in my old silvia with no amp, off a cheap alpine head unit, and it was alright, distorted up loud due to no power, and also had no bass at all, but i should have got a sub if i wanted bass. Is amplifier brand also something to look at? i guess an alpine amp at 60W x 4 will be better than a JVC equivalent? Cheers |

1. so i dont need to worry about back speakers? i dont ever take any passengers, so its just me and my misses, maybe only get lower wattage speakers in the back? and dont amplify them? 2. So, that alpine head unit is going to sound a lot better than a JVC double din touchscreen for $300ish? If the quality is cleary going to be there, then i will go the Alpine, if it may not be noticible, then a screen would be pretty cool 3. Am i best to stick with the same brand of parts? if i go alpine head unit, and went alpine speakers, should i also go alpine amp? 4. im not really close to anywhere that has speaker brands set up, so i really have to go off of advice, i had Alpine type S speakers un-amplified in my old car, and they were good, of course they distorted at loud volume, but thats probably because of the lack of power? and bass didnt exist at all, but i guess that's why you get a sub? Cheers |

For some reason, my previous post didnt send, so i'll have to try to remember what i asked, but, lots of questions

1. No, fuck rear speakers off completely unless you intend to run a 5.1 Dolby surround system.
2. The Alpine head unit will be miles in front in regards to both sound quality and features. Using the time correction function alone will blow any $300 deck out of the water. 3. Where are you intending to purchase from if you can't go anywhere to audition? Who is going to install it? If you're definitely buying online, email Marty @ FHRX Studios in NSW. He only sells quality gear and is one of the most knowledgeable and reputable car audio people in the country. Flick him an email, tell him how much you want to spend and what sort of sound you like (are you going for all out pounding subs/volume, or prefer sound quality and accurate reproduction) and he will give you great advice and suggestions. He doesn't even care if you don't end up buying anything from him, he will still give you sound advice and answer whatever question you fire at him.

Even if that headunit was just thrown in and the settings not played with to much? Would still sound quite a bit better?
We have a pretty decent car audio shop down here with a few guys i know running it, but, Theres no audio wall or anything like you find in perth Il send him an email! Thanks heaps for all your help At the moment im in a car with 6x9's in the back that are actually over powering the fronts, so, its probably going to be a very big difference! |

Better than a $300 JVC unit? Yes. Remember, what you gain in a big touch screen you lose in features and quality internals. They have to make that double-din screen affordable somehow...

Very good point^^
What would be the choice out of these two? just had a chat with a friend at an audio shop and was told that the Type R's will distort before the Kenwoods? Type R: NEW ALPINE TYPE-R SPR-17S 6.5" Component Car Speakers 660W SPR17S 220W RMS | eBay Kenwood KFC-X1730P: NEW Kenwood KFC-X1730P 6-1/2" 2-Way High Performance Component Speaker System | eBay Also, what are the thoughts on the PDX F4 and PDX F6 amps? |
