Straight flithy man P.S. What's the song in the begining of this vid: And the rock song in the begining of this one:

I agree with the reccomendation of the Fi BL. I would also reccomend an IDMax 12. Great out put and very good sound quality too. Should be right at home there with 1200W.

Great stuff. Thanks for posting

Yes it sounds very good, at all volumes, no matter the music. Hip Hop and Bass CD's/MP3's are deep smooth and loud, Classic rock is very tight and articulate and not boomy at all, Jazz sounds great as well. And the C5's are ridiculous. Phenominal sounding speakers. Very crisp and sharp but not too harsh. No artificial blooming or coloring. Very natural and accurate sound reproduction. And movies sound like a Surround sound IMAX theater. I watch some action scene's form transformers with some firends and they were like "Man it sound better than the movie theater!" LOL. The trunk lid is dynamted along with the doors. Rattle is minimal unless I but some DJ magic mike or Bass Mechanics cranked up really high adn then it starts to rattle pretty fierce. No way around that. But it sounds great in the car.

Nice work mang! Good job down sizing it.

First off: Sick. Insane. Nasty. straight filthy and disgusting. Unreal. Nice work Steve. 2nd) What's the song playing at the begining of the vid. Tight beat. Wanna DL it. Keep up the insannity!

Thank you sir. Quite a nice forum and business you have here. I plan on ordering an SSA shirt soon B)

I love it. I wanted a head unit that: A) Sounded very good B) sported a DVD player C) Interfaced with my iPod D) was easy to navigate and operate E) allowed for lots of expansion down the road. The W205 sports the best DAC offered by Alpine that's not the F-1 Status. It's a 24 bit DAC. It indeed sounds very good. The iPod interface on it is the best in the business, because it was actually designed by both Alpine and Apple. The iPod menu appears right on the screen with one touch and you have access to playlists, artists, search, etc. It's ridiculously easy to navigate. Hit control on the screen and a menu pops up with every section for you to access: display, settings, source, audio...everything. Just about every adjustment is 2-3 touches away max. Then you have the Media exapnsion options. The day they come out with a Blu-Ray player for the car, you can plug it into the aux. in the back. you can also send the video signal from the headunit to other monitors with an aux. out . Then you have the Blackbird dock for navigation. The DVD play back is very good. Picture looks great. As sson as you put a DVD in a little "Key" tab appears. touch it and arrows appear so you can navigate the DVD menu. Slect what you want, and it will start playing, and the little tabs dissapear and you watch your movie. If you want to adjust picture or audio while it's playing, touch the bottom of the screen and a set of tabls appear at the bottom, as well as a control tab up top. Hit control and you can access audio and picture adjustments. It retails in most stores from $1000-1100. I've seen it online form $799-$900. AA retails it for $1000 and gave it to me for $825. They discounted everything for me since I did such a huge package and eleborate install. It was one of the more elaborate ones they've done in a while, and they are going to put the car on their webpage along with their other more elaborate installs over the years. Should be up sometime this week. Their link is in my sig.

Welcome! I'm new myself too. Liking it so far.

Thank you. I have a good friend from Beaumont. Big Aggie fan. We'll be traveling together to watch his Aggies take on my Canes in College station this upcoming season.

Thanks alot. Appreciate it
