JVC vs Alpine
Hi
After I have been looking around for a while for diferents mp3 headunits and I think that all goes down to this two players, can you read the details and tell me wich one in your opinion, should I go for it? I know there is diferences on money bettween the two but I don't care about that, I just want a good head unit :) 1- (JVC) http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/JVCKDSH707 2- (Alpine) http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=CDA7894 Let me know thanks Alex |
Hey, i have the JVC 707 in my P5 right now, and it sounds sweet.
I love this radio, you can't go wrong with it. but choose which you like better. |
Hey evil I saw you got infinity speakers in your rear, I will get 4 of these into my mazda, two front, two rear.
what do you think? http://www.infinitysystems.com/carau...er=KAP&Cat=MEL thanks again Alex |

I'm going to change out the fron Pioneer to infitiy reference componets in the spring. Good choice in speakers. |

Alpines website is always higher price then any authorized dealer will charge. |

From left: that square box is called a crossover. it is used to filter out where the HI frequency and mid/low frequency. Middle: this is a tweeter, this will only give you the high frequency with the crossover. Right: this is the woofer, this will give you the low/mid frequency. I'm still a bit of a newbie on car audio myself, so anyone plese correct if i'm wrong. |
NO need, you dead on ballz acurate.
The crossover is the piece to the left and it take the full range signal from the head unit or amplifier and split them. The higher frequencies will be sent to the tweeter only and this is done usualy at a 12 db per octive slope. The lower frequencies of mid, midbass, bass and sub bass are all sent to the large woofer whcih is on the right. another form of a crossover ususlay built into amps and some headunits allows you to stop the bass and sub bass frequencies away from the woofer which is good becuase they are the first cuase of distortion since the woofer can not accuratly reproduce these frequencies. |
Originally posted by blue LEDz which one looks better to you?;) the alpine will be a good pick, whether or not you amp your speakers. it has higher wattage, and it has higher pre amp output voltage. plus it has a *slightly* higher S/N ratio, which for that close it doesn't really matter. |
The JVC has a cool tilting feature with the face, so you can tilt it depending on how light is reflecting off of it, so you can still see it clearly. Keep in mind, that JVC has a newer model, the 909. From what I've heard (I haven't tested mine yet) JVC may have the quickest mp3 search capability, or something like that. I'm not totally sure, but its supposedly fastest in pulling up each track or something.
I don't know anything about the Alpine. Go for what you like best.. because even though it's about the sound and all that, you also want it to look good. If you can get both from one, I'd say go with that one.. you'll likely be happier with it on a broader level. At least that's my guess... |
Alpine has 4 position tilt.
