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)

i guessing he got like a discount... but that final price seems a little high if he did get a discount

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?

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.

I thought the f-150s had a 100-110amp alt or something like that. if that's the case, 1100wrms should be fine.

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.

Man I think systems will all one brand are so much nicer and cleaner if u can find all qaulity componets within 1 company.

Nice deck!! 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
