I currently have a 7894 in my car. This x-mas I would like to complete my setup. I just want something small. I'd like to stick with alpine components. Does anyone have suggestions as to what amp/sub/speakers/tweeters I should look into? I'd like something that has a little bump in the bass, about a 10" sub.

Thanks.

 

how much do you want to spend? what kind of car? do you plan on running the components off separate amps or off the deck? you need to give more information

 

Uhm, not more than 600 for the rest of the setup I suppose. Itll be going into an 00 Integra. I'd want the amp to handle the components and sub.

 

here is my system setup, or will be when im done buying the amps and find a good day to install it..

alpine cda7894 (have currently, might upgrade to the 7998)
alpine mrv540 4 channel amp for components
alpine mrd500 sub amp
alpine 6 1/2 type r components in kickpanels for the fronts
alpine 6 1/2 type r coaxails for the rears
alpine 12" type r sub, you can also get a type r 10"

btw, type r is alpines highest components, you can get type s and type e also, you can also get the lower amps like the mrv340 but i get a good deal on my **** so im getting the good ****. you will love the alpine setup its great

 

Woah, awesome. Thanks. It's a start... I'm going to look into it more.

 

Actually for components the Type-X flagship is their highest line.

 

i've got the 12 inch type R too with a mrd m300 mono channel amp from alpine too. i'm waiting for the amp to come in and i can't get to christmas but i think that it should sound pretty good.

 

yes you are correct, im sorry.. those are really nice... i cant order them from work tho, wish i could but they would be still be expensive as hell.. the type r's are good enough for me

can you guys with the 7894's post up a picture of how you mounted it, the way i mounted my hu has been a temporary setup for the longest time...tia

 

DO you like your mrv540 amp? I was thinking of going with the mrv300 for my components which are the same as yours back and front but now I'm wondering about goin with the same amp as you got...how much did you pay for it?

 

hey gsxr, i have the same setup waiting to be installed except for the head unit. does this setup work pretty good? how hard does it hit and is your amp a mono amp like mine?

 

right now i have the MRV-F340 amp hooked up to my stock front speakers and type R rear speakers and i have no complaints whatsoever. in the future i am going to be hooking it up to the Type-X 3-way flagship speakers bi-amped.

 

upgraded to the alpine cda 7897 today.. had an offer i could not refuse on the cda7894 and this unit is tight.. ill get pics of it all installed in my car tomorrow for you all to see

 

i wasnt really much of a sub fan before i bought it, and initially i thought it was great. however, now i feel like i need more bass. if i could, i think i would give the mrd500 mono amp a try...i think the type r's are strong enough to take a pounding or two.

oh yeah, MAKE SURE you hook up your HU directly to the battery, these HUs are known for drawing gooobs of power. when i first installed it, i didnt do a direct connection and i blew a fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay, i forget which one.


blueaccord, i dont know who that question was for, but here are the prices i got my stuff for:

7894: $280
type r: $120
mrd300: $170

 

sure the alpine type-r can handle the mrd500 w/ no problem.. as for hooking it up directly to the battery its really not nessesary most the time but recommended, most people wont or dont do it cause its extra work and they dont like fudgin w/ stuff like that.. we install these all the time at work and have never had a problem w/ it.. infact mine is hooked up do the factory wiring harness and have NEVER had a problem
