Nice truckee bro

I'd just keep the standard stereo and listen to the engine, but I'm a little odd like that

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Yea, but that turbo whine gets annoying on the interstate after a few hours.

And i dont care about my threads being jacked, as long as you have somthing to say, instead of random ass numbers and letters, speak your mind.

 

[WoodiE]

Yup. There is something to be said about getting past the magical 35yr old mark... insurance gets super cheap.

35! You are old

Nice truckee bro

I'd just keep the standard stereo and listen to the engine, but I'm a little odd like that

While I'd like to upgrade my stock speakers in the truck, my days of having big stereo's, subs, and amps are over. That said it's hard to find good aftermarket speakers that will properly work on a factory head unit.

Nonetheless I do like the sound of my truck as well. I think once I get the new air intake and exhaust it will sound real purtty!

 

[alpinehyperlite]

My main reason for getting new head unit, is that i wana play my ipod over the radio without using an FM Modulator.

 

[insaneatvs]

NIce truck Alpine, to get rid of the Turbo whine, get a louder system in the truck...

I would never put sony in my truck. what other brands of recievers yall got. I dont put cheap crap in my rides......

 

[Lessen]

you guys are killin' me. This thread makes me want to get back into the hobby again.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Go big, or go home. Some lil punk kid pulld up and tries to "beat up" on me, i wont try to compete. ill just run him over in my big ass truck..

It's all about the speakers. When I removed the Pioneer tuner/cassette deck and installed the Pioneer tuner/CD unit, nothing changed other than the media I carried in the car.
I went back 2 days later and replaced the 4 factory speakers with 3-way Alpines, and WOW! What a crisp and responsive sound! I paid more for the speakers than I did for the head, but worth every cent and then some.

 

[Lessen]

When I did a system in my first car I did entry level components ( from reputable makes of corse) but spent big money on the highest quality wiring and connectors I could afford. I was very happy with the sound quality for the type of music that I listen to and if I were to do another system I would spend the dough in the same manner.

 

[flm_savage]

alpine or eclipse head units are great. i think the alpines are easy to navigate and they really cater to the ipod crowd. i ran Jl audio subs and amps with boston acoustic components.

 

[RC Addict]

Pioneer all the way baby! That is all I have ever installed in my rides as far as head units go. My current receiver has built in crossovers and filters along with sub control!

My current sub is a Pioneer Premier IMMP Gold 10" and that sum bitch pounds in a MTX ported box!!! Infinity Kappa 6.5" components in the front and Pioneer Premier 4.5" 3 ways in the rear round out my speaker system.

Power is via an Alpine 50x2 for the rear, an AudioBahn 150x2 for the front and a AudioBahn Dub 800 watt mono for the sub.

I love it when a neophyte gets in my ride. "Wow! I didn't know anything this loud could sound so clear."

I like the best of both worlds, my friend, and it CAN be done! I take pride in my sounds 'cause I matched and installed it all myself!

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Like mine was.


Update: Just got home with the new truck, had to drive her around all afternoon to "get the feel of her". Put 150 miles just driving around. Its AMAZING!!!
