Poor Sound from Alpine Stereo
#21
I've noticed now that there is quite a bit of popping coming from the system when I'm playing my iPod or the satellite radio. Doesnt happen with FM radio. I made sure it wasnt my iPod nor the cable - swapped both of them and played in my other vehicles just fine. Thats another thing to put on my list when I bring my D in to the dealer for the 3rd time to fix this whistling noise coming from the door seal and rattle coming from the dash

I replaced the fronts with 6 1/2 alpine type R components and the rears with 6 1/2 Apine type R. I also got rid of the factory sub and put in a 10" Alpine type S subwoofer. There wasn't room for a 12". I powered it all with an Alpine 5 channel that pushes 500 watts. It's all under the sub-floor cover. Made a hole in the cover for the sub and then screened it to protect the sub. It sounds real good. I might put in a clean sweep or a signal processor to get that perfect crisp sound out of the factory radio which is the weak link. I am also going to install a lock pick for the rear camera and an overhead TV. I will takes some pics as soon as I can.

Why do you've replaced the poor Alpine Audio components with other Alpine components?
There are many other manufacturers who can produce good speakers and amps like Kicker, Focal, Rõdek, Pyle, Bose, Axton etc.
For me, Alpine is ever a bad idea... so i'm surprised you're happy with

Alpine is not great at all anymore.
We sell a boat load of audio and I will not sell Alpine as its just not very good anymore.
If you want to clean up the sound get rid of the Alpine amp and put in an ARC xdi805, or Kenwood XR5s 5 channel amp and you will be amazed the difference.
Do a Google search on Alpine and noise floor issues and you will see why there is noise
Glad you like the upgrade and are happy with the Alpine stuff

Will this help with the bass? I listen to a lot of hip hop/rap, I don't want my rear view mirror shaking like I'm 16 again however some nice deep bass would be appreciated. I have a 12inch sony sub/amp sitting in the garage so if I went this way it wouldn't be too expensive.
