[DarkSeat]

okay chaps, I'm bored at work and this is the only thing i can thing of.

Just want to have a small discussion on who out there has the best ICE setup and also this will enable us to share ideas on ICE.

I'll start with myself...............

ALPINE CDA-9851R Head unit
JENSON 500WATT AMPLIFIER
1000W RMS 10" Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer in a sealed box...

Proper pimped out

[UncleFester]

JVC AVX-1 Dvd headunit
KAC 8401 running in 2ch bridged mode for front components
KAC 8401 running in 2ch bridged mode for rear components
KAC 8152D mono amp running both subs @ 2ohm
KFCP707 fronts on mdf mounts
KFCP707 rears on mdf mounts
Kicker Solobaric Dual2 L7 - sealed box - 1 ohm
Kicker Solobaric Dual2 L7 - sealed box - 1 ohm
120A circuit breaker under the bonnet.
Brown bread around entire boot area.
Sound deadening in rear 3/4 panels.
Stinger cables throughout including replacement speaker cables.
Stealth amp install in false floor.

No pimp here - nothing to see at all other than 2 grey boring boxes in the boot and a headunit It's not flash, it won't win any awards, it's never going to be heard down sarfend front but I like it and it can be removed easilyish if I need access to the spare tyre well. Those kenwood P707 are an utter bargain, for what they cost the sound is lovely.

That's very subjective. Personally I like the sound of the Eclipse units over Alpine.

 

[Pagnobito]

14 speakers, seperate woofer, mid and treble front and rear, dual sub at rear and centre speaker in dash for full DTS/Dolby 5.1 as well as DSP for Stereo to surround, Mp3 and power connector in centre rest, Bluetooth, reverse camera, Smart nav on 7" touch screen doubling as display for DVD's, also plays DVD-A and SACD. Touch screen also operates audio, climate, maintenance and scheduler which synchronises with phone.

That is the Mark Levinson system on my Lexus, standard option kit and of course being Lexus it is very quiet inside anyway without the need for extra sound proofing.

Ok, it might not be as good as the kit you can install yourself, but it sounds very clear and goes loud enough for me.

Not in my experience, unlike the others, Alpine only concentrate on in car entertainment which is a good sigh as you know that the end product is of high quality

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I've swapped a few HU's out for the Eclipse and everyone has prefered it. Even the Alpine F1 has plenty of problems.
