I am having my install done Tuesday (4/20) and going with the Alpine pxe-h660.. the shop quoted me $1100 installed with 1 pair speakers 2 amps and a sub. Do you think this is a good price, and has anyone had any experiences good or bad with the Alpine piece? The shop highly recommended it over the clean sweep because of its "super customizable" EQ

whats your ?

 

please post some pics when its completed, a little video would also be good

 

I'm not sure that the place i'm having it done will take pics of the process, but I'll ask

 

So I finally got my car back today.. and I have to say I'm not that impressed. The Alpine piece isn't bad, they have a steering wheel module that enables the vol control, but you lose the track up down func. It also comes with a remote for changing the bal/fade, volume, sub up down, etc which is kind of nice.

The install is clean. I guess I'm just not that happy with the overall sound quality. All of my equipment was much louder in my last car, Subaru Impreza.. but I can see how that is possible. Also, I had the two 6.5 Focals installed in the front doors... and the guy left the front stock tweeters hooked up as well --- thought it was kind of odd? Any comments on that?

I'll see if I can post some pics tomorrow of the whole setup.
