For the same money as alpine there's very little you can do better.

Your biggest issue is getting a clean signal from the head unit, and to get past this costs mega bucks.

I didn't think Alpine would be enough so I went fully aftermarket.

The sound processor alone (just for providing a good source, not even driving anything or etc) - the bit one, is worth £600.



All I recommend you do is find someone who has alpine upgrade and listen to it.

From experience as I've heard several of these: The front end is perfectly acceptable but it's almost totally lacking in bass. You get higher output volume, and a decent reproduction of everything except the bass frequencies.

This is why alot of people go L7 sub or Earthquake as I've already recommended.


So maybe find out why the poster said alpine upgrade isn't good enough? If it's just due to bass then remember you can improve that further (relatively) cheaply.
