my friend just recently bought a system and i also got one and we are arguing on whos is better and i was wonderin wat some of ur opinions are. the one system is a: pioner deh-p9600mp head unit infinty speakers lanzar vibe amps 2 500, 1000 and 2 12wo jl audio subs.
The other is: alpine cda 9825 head unit pioneer speakers lanzar vibe amp 2 600, 1200 2 12' alpine type r subs.
You both have good stuff in your car, except the Lanzar amps, the only real way to tell it who's hits the hardest. Go to a audio store and get you systems Db Metered, then you can see whos is best.
Um...Okay it's kinda silly what you're asking. It should only matter to you, and what you like. But if you're asking quality of components....here goes.
HU: Higher end Pioneer vs. Lower end Alpine (I'd take the Pioneer in this comparison)
"Speakers": Your discription is too vague but I hate Pioneer speakers, Infinity generally makes a better product
Amps: You guys both suck there. Lanzar is a cheap flea market brand. Unreliable, and way over rated.
Subs: The JL Audio W0 is the bottom of the line sub, the Type R is Alpine's Middle of the road. I'd personally take the TypeR over THOSE JLs.
So, System 1 has the better HU and "speakers" Both have crappy amps. System 2 has better subs and a repsectable head unit, and so so "speakers".
my system is the 1 wit the 12wo and i also thought that the alpines would be way better just by the wattage but as i was listnin to the alpine compared to my jls the jls have way better sq and u can understand the words in the song unlike the alpines in which the bass takes over eveything else.
