yep.. damn power hungry bitches but tehre is no way you could convince me of anything better...except for next years new alpine's

The only other HU that even compares to mine is my friends Nakamichi HU... sounds like a shity brand and no one has ever heard of 'em but they are damn nice... they dont look pretty but they rank up there... I would say they are 2nd to Alpine

Nak is well kown in audophile circle but is also known as a warrenty nightmare. Many units had alot of problems that pretty much crippled there sales.

yea but I think was mostly their new units... my friend go his off ebay for like 150 and it was like 5 years old... works like new and performs better than a new headunit by any other brand..he's been wanting to get a newer one for awhile but what exactly was going wrong with teh new ones? he wants to get the one tahts a 6 disc in dash cd changer...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That one of the worst ones .
Nak seems to be hit or miss with various models year to year.

Agreed! Way back when I worked in a stereo shop, we had a customer who sent one in for repair, and the thing literally took 6 months <no bull **** here either> to get repaired. I don't know what they do over there, but as nice of **** they make, their service sucks in turn around time.
SoundStream took around a month mostly do to shipping from east coast to west coast. All others took roughly 3 to 3 1/2 weeks to fix. Sony, if you wanna go there, would go and take the least amount of time, but it would come back with the same problem if not some thing new.

ok so i guess i'll just tell him to get an alpine instead.. i knew they had problems but didnt know it was that bad...

Alpine is bad too or atleast with speakers... my 5.25 type r's screwed up... the installer called it a frozen cone... bassically the wires from voice coil to the cone welded themselves to the vent pole and it wouldnt move at all... i waited like 4 months for it to come back and the store just decided to give me a new set... so i have a pefectly good type R 5.25 spare in my garage(they only sent in one for some reason)

Something like that is typicaly form distortion do to turning up the volume higher then it can go becuase you need and amp and you have a improperly hooked up radio. That should cover it

I have only seen a subwoofer that had a frozen cone. I would like to have seen that one (the coaxial) like that. At the shop I worked people would trade up for better woofers and the manager would have us stick bare wires in wall outlets to fry the voice coils ((((BBBBRAAAPPP!!!!))))) I saw it done once and told them not for me! If you want to do it, do it yourself! Something about that noise sends chills up my spine. Have you done that or had to do that 1st MP3? I always envisioned me getting electricuted trying to do that! You have to have the right timing or it'll completely rip apart the cone! Owner was a con man if you ask me. Pioneer IMPPs were nortorious for cracking cones when **** like this was done do to woofer composition.
