Silver Member Username: 94_toyPost Number: 158 Registered: Sep-07 | So i just installed my very first system and i am impressed with it (very budget system). Got a 15" alpine type-r, alpine mrp850, alpine type r components 6.5", alpine pdx150.2, alpine idax100 for a deck , fully dynamated both doors and built my own ported box 3.5 cubic feet tuned to 35 hertz. total price was $859.87. Will have pictures soon, wat do u think of my first system? ( and be brutal if u have too) |

Silver Member Username: BonhamdNorthern, Michigan USA Post Number: 374 Registered: Nov-07 | i was wondering the same thing when i kept reading alpine |

Silver Member Username: SkaUSA Post Number: 498 Registered: Jan-08 | i guessing he got like a discount... but that final price seems a little high if he did get a discount |

Silver Member Username: 94_toyPost Number: 159 Registered: Sep-07 | not too sure it seemed like a good budget name with good budget prices. The only thing i would do differently is i should have gone for the type-x components. Wat do u think of the price i got all this for? |

Silver Member Username: SkaUSA Post Number: 500 Registered: Jan-08 | so is that USD or Canada D? |

Silver Member Username: 94_toyPost Number: 161 Registered: Sep-07 | canada to my door, i think it was like $690 american. So add 3.75% to convert to canadian then add $150 for shipping |

Silver Member Username: 94_toyPost Number: 162 Registered: Sep-07 | also with 1100W RMS my voltage reads 12.2 at a full burp. i got a 02 f-150 and i think the alternator is 90A, so if im still above 12V does that mean i am fine?? i was lookin on ebay and i found a 220A HO alternator from irragi for $220 i think it was called an irraggi amputator. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6369 Registered: Jul-06 | HO alternator would be good, go with any of those except iraggi and EA I recommend DB Electrical and MCR as I have experience with those. Thats a damn nice first system also. Alpine is one of the few companies where you can buy all your equipment from the same brand and come out with a good system. |

Haha I got the ida x001. And that's a damn good first system probably the best one tht I've read so far given the amount of money u spent |
