So I'm looking at updating my system, after the amp that was powering my speakers has died.

I'll be using the headunit that I already have, and the 12" Clarion sub I have as well.

This is what it will look like

Headunit: Pioneer FH-P800BT

Front Speakers: Alpine SPR-17S

http://www.alpine.com.au/products/product.asp?modelID=314

Rear Speakers: Alpine SPR-17C

http://www.alpine.com.au/products/product.asp?modelID=317

Speaker Amplifier: Alpine PDX-4.100

http://www.alpine.com.au/products/product.asp?modelID=307

Sub Amplifier: Alpine MRP-M500

http://www.alpine.com.au/products/product.asp?modelID=374

Will be listening to all types of music, but more rock/metal than anything else.

I'm thinking that it will all work together fairly well, but im no car audio expert so some other opinions would be great.

Thanks!

looks ok if its set up properly. if its not then it will be a waste. why alpine. there are better speakers out there for that kind of money. rainbow being one of them.

are you serious? alpine have one of the best names in car audio because they're quality products, that perform really well for the price. I'd like to see any brand match the achievements that alpine has made in its history. Companies like focal, rainbow, kicker, whatever, specialise in speakers and amplifiers, alpine specialise in a complete package, without compromise of quality.

however, the type r splits are excellent for young guys who just want a set of splits to flog the crap out of them, and show off. they make a solid midbass, and take a lot of punishment. Tweeters aren't real nice though.

i'd revise your selection and buy SPX-17REF for the front, SPS-600 for the rear, and a PDX-2.150 for the fronts, and a PDX-1.600 or 1.1000 for your woofers. rears arent important.

alpine do a pack for $799 that includes the SPX-17REF + PDX-2.150, about $500 off. Cheap as, i'd like to see any other brand match that SQ and amplifier quality for that price

they also do a pack that comes with a PDX-1.600 + SBR-S122V for $999, thats about $400 off. Ported sub box, can be a little boomy, but they make a lot of bass, only reason i dont have one, it wont fit in my boot.

you'd have matching amplifiers, that are small enough to hide under your seats, and still make decent power.

that pioneer unit you've picked isnt' available in australia as far as i know. so fat chance of warranty or backup support if you have problems.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
