Dirty Rockstar Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Just wondeirng the community's take on the Audio.. The only reason the question comes up is because we started carrying Infinity at Best Buy So I have access to both companies! Personal experiences anyone? I'm torn on which way to go as I had the thought of Alpine through out the car, with Rockfpor 3" tweeters in the BPillar.. But I'm not sure now Quote
slick Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 You don't get a discount on Infinity for about another month or two, it that makes any difference. Highs- Infinity Mid's and Lows- Alpine Quote
terryk2003 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 i deffinatly vote for infinity speakers...i do like alpines HU's though... Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 All the alpine HU's look exactly the same ( atleast to me ) I dont really care for it. I can say Infinity subs sound great. They hit hard ( especially with 500w rms going to each one haha ) and the new style Infinity are just the only with a different cone. The speakers are absolutly great. People will argue about this though. Personally I love em. The only thing I havent heard is their comp set. But ask CBAD, he has one. just my .02 as to why I said Infinity Quote
slick Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 I have an old set of Infinity 5.25" components, and they sound great. They are close to 3 years old as well. The only bad thing about Best Buy and Infinity is that they only carry the Reference line. So... they will sound decent, but could always be better. But, again, as for what Best Buy carried, the Infinity highs are going to be the best. Quote

Puggsley456 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 I've had all of the ones listed.....except the infinity subs. And I was not very pleased with any of them to be honest. There are much better setups to be had for the same amount of money. Quote

So your saying the 6500's I got with the nine.4 amp will be like a new world of music But from my understanding of the orinigal post, you can get these at a discounted price since you work there? And everyone know the mark up an audio stuff today, Im figuring you can get em for pretty cheap... Quote
Cam'ron Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 go for infinity speakers front and rear but i loved my alpine type-r subs they were unbelievable for the price Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 I'm leery of Infinity speakers after what happened to mine. Granted, mine were just the low-end coaxes, but I've never seen any speaker fail in the way these did. Quote
Ned Flanders Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 Like Alpine...you can usually get a good deal on them at Crutchfield, too. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Posted May 4, 2006 Like Alpine...you can usually get a good deal on them at Crutchfield, too. I work at Best Buy I get a pretty good deal on them myself Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 If they had Alpine 5.25 components I would have got them for my car, but they didn't that's why I got Infinity. I voted for Alpine cause they're cheaper and have nice bass/midrange sound and not as "tinny" as Infinity. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Posted May 4, 2006 I'm goin ALpine.. I can get it cheaper, and it is what I initially planned on.. Plus the point of good mids and bass is a good point as well Quote
rudefyet Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 I heard some Type R 6x9s once....they kicked the crap out of the Infinity Kappas i heard Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Next time I need new speakers, Ill give Alpine a try, see what it is that everyone is talking about. Quote
