Celica Forums General Discussion Interior What is better for system: Pioneer vs. Alpine...

Hi all,

I can get a deal (50% off) Pioneers and Alpines. I am looking at decks, 4 speakers, and a 4 channel amp. What is your opinion on which is better for sound quality and product quality.

Alpine's sound quality is unriveled in my opinion. i have the IVAD300R installed for the last 3 months and its amazing. BTW Alpines new elite range - called F1 i think is not actually made by alpine themselves - its made for them by someone else.

cool, thank you anyone elses opinion? I have 1 for alpine, any for pioneer?

all i have is alpine in my car! i wouldnt go with anything else other then JL <--- but they are out of my price range

Alpine Just take a look at my Audio/Video setup...

pioneer sounds great

I've got Alpine in my car too. Between the two, I'd go with Alpine.

He re is my list: Alpine, JL, Infinity, Eclipse.

cool, thanks! alpine speakers and amps...one last question, i really like the pioneer deck better than the alpine (the look of it)...will that cause any problem because of mix matching the deck from the speakers and amp?

no it wont.

Zero, thanks again! and thanks to the rest of you

50% any alpine amp?
i could have a field day at wherever your buying from

I'm strictly pioneer

All i have in my car is alpine and infinity.. can't beat the sound

between the two i would choose alpine but i do have a little pioneer in my cat also.

I have alpine deck - the best IMO

Focal componet speakers - best speakers i have ever had, but a little $. Way better than the pioneers i used to have.

Infinity subs - have no complaints, sound great.

a planet audio amp powering subs and a smaller pioneer amp powering front two focals.

I love all the parts i have so any of these IMO is good. But overall i would take alpine products over pioneer products.

sweet thanks everyone! I thought a lot about what to get after all of you have given me your input and since I can get half off at Best Buy and the best htey have is Alpine and Pioneer, I think i will go with Alpine speakers and amp (waiting to get subs and another amp), but i love the look of one of the best pioneer they have a lot better than the best alpine they have so I think i will get that deck. My girlfriend has an Eclipse mono amp and has a jl audio sub in an enclosure so i might buy that cheap off of her later on too. Thanks so much, any more info anyone can come up with, feel free to share with me thanks so much!

PS I used to have a pioneer in my first car and i loved it but it was with stock speakers Thanks again, i really appreciate it

i'd definitely say alpine over pioneer

is the one i am going to get I love the look of it and i would go with JBL or infinity or other stuff but Best Buy here doesn't carry those anymore and only carry alpine and pioneer (best they have).Thanks! I love that head unit

JBL is a very decent product

Pioneer HU and Infinity Speakers for me

Here's mine...HaHa!

^^^

hhahaha. thats great, ive never seen that one before

It's from an electronics installation school, I guess they were saying "Don't be this guy!"

I like Pioneer's decks more than Alpines, though Alpine has a lot of new ones with color change led's and stuff. I have never used Pioneer's or Alpines speakers/amps... I'm a JL fan myself but I guess I'd go with Alpine in your case and Pioneer for the deck.

I've been using Alpine for 5 years. No problems

thank you

alpine

id take alpine over jbl. I got all jl audio speakers and 13"w7 and jl 1000by 1 and a panasonic in dash dvd, cd player. Will post picks when finished. See ya guys

Both are really good. Alpine does better with car audio and Pioneer does better with home audio.

No the pioneer will overise all?! i like pioneers better because they were my first speakers i had ever gotten?! I have hope for pioneer because they sound really good with the right setup.
