Great Quality Speakers

Advantages: Very clear highs and full midrange response
Disadvantages: Weak base

...After trying a few different sets of car speakers (each around the £70 mark) and being dissapointed I finnally decided to take the risk and purchase these high end alpine speakers. After reading all of the information i could find i decided that these would suit my needs well, im used to high quality Bose systems at home so thought these could produce similar results in my car. When i got them out of the box my first impressions were of how well they appeared to be made, the cast aluminium frame and the multi-role surround on the cone gave an immediate impression of the quality. The included crossovers also carried on this quality feel. Installing them in my car was simple, remove the old speakers and fit the woofers, then find a suitable place for the crossover and route the cabling for the tweeters to the dash board where i chose to...

alpine ida x200

Advantages: good sound nice to look at
Disadvantages: skips in middle of songs, no clock!!!!!, pay £160.00 for great sound

...Ok bought alpine ida x200 as it did nearly all the things x100 does but was a £100 cheaper. after installing i noticed the clock would not display, so i contacted alpine u.k. and they gave me instructions on how to display. I followed instructions but these did not work so again i contacted alpine u.k. The response came back he had given wrong instructins and the x200 does not have a clock. The sound is nice on system but if you want to have great sound you have to buy an imprint sound manager system about £49.00. Then you will need the sound chip aruond £120.00. If you want bluetooth phone connection add another £80.00.if you want a clock add £100 and upgrade to the x100, i have never bought alpine before and never will again. I will say this though if you buy American x200 you do get a clock and a calender. Amazing how we the British...

BRUIN ALPINE - great if your baby isn't nosey!

Advantages: Pockets in Hood, Suitable from birth, Easy to steer, Lightweight, Shopping basket
Disadvantages: Does not sit bolt upright.

...I bought this stroller from Babies R Us in December 2005. At the time I needed a lightweight stroller due to my 6 month old daughter having grown out of her travel system car seat and the Graco buggy being too heavy to drag in and out of the boot every day during the school run. Whilst in Babies R Us we saw the Bruin Alpine Stroller. Its style appealed to me and I was even more impressed when I saw the price. HOW MUCH? It was originally £69.99 but this particular day it had £10 off so was £59.99 and we also had a voucher for £5 off any stroller over £30 so the final price was £54.99. Bargain. CAN YOU BUY IT ONLINE? Yes you can buy it online from the Babies R Us website. If you go to babiesrus.co.uk go to travel, then find pushchairs and on page 2 you should find the Alpine. You can also order it via their catalogue through...

Alpine 9855r

Advantages: Alpine 9855r - Touch Glide, BioLite Display, MP3.
Disadvantages: None

...i recently purchased this amazing unit by Alpine from BassJunkies for just over £300. Its a fantastic unit that contains many different features hence the thick user guide that comes with the unit. The unit is fully customizable with the options of changing button colours, background movies, many diifferent preset factory equalisers aswell as manual setupus to customize the sound to your own personal liking. I have only had the item about a week and i am loving every little detail and feature that it contains. The sound quality through my pioneer rear speakers is spot on as with the bulit in equalisers alows me to make the sound perfect. I previously had a sony but there is no comparison to my new unit. I thought fitting of this would be a right pain however for £15 pounds i was able to match my car to the lead that come from...

Review of Mothercare Urban Detour Twin Alpine

I love my twin alpine.

Advantages: Easy to push and steer, appears comfortable.
Disadvantages: Heavy to lift when folded, shopping basket awkward to get to.

...I bought my Mothercare urban detour twin alpine three wheeler pushchair 2 1/2 years ago after having twins. I needed a pushchair that was suitable for 2 newborns, easy to push and strong enough to last until my children were walking. We had looked at many before deciding on this one. The twin alpine is suitable from birth, has a lockable front swivel wheel, quick release rear tyres, pneumatic tyres with a pump, and comes with removable cosytoes, a raincover and a shopping basket. It is from Mothercare and is priced at £230. There has been has change in the fold mechanism since I bought mine. It is now one-handed but i can't comment on how easy that is. My pushchair has had heavy use, it is a dream to push, the children appear to be very comfortable in it and it is easy to fold and open. Disadvantages that I have found are that...

SPR694A, Do they deserve their Alpine badge??

Advantages: These speakers will handle large amounts of power and are more than willing to do so for long periods of time. They have rather punchy bass so I find that they work very well along side a sub and they have great midrange sound.
Disadvantages: Quite weighty so if you're planning on installing them into a standard parcel shelf be prepared to stregthen it, better still would be to replace the shelf with a wooden one.

...I reluctently purchased these 6x9's about 6 months ago after becoming sympathetic with passangers in the rear of my car only being able to hear the constant drowning of sub bass. Having not run any speakers in the rear for quite some time because I rather spend money on SQ upfront (the place your ears point to) and on sub bass, I was very dubious as to how this would affect the overall sound of the system. I already had the Alpine SPR176A components up front and was more than happy with them so I thought that I'd give their 6x9 cousins a try. When they arrived I was impressed by the build quality of the basket and cone, they come with the same silk dome tweater as the Alpine compnents so I pretty much knew what to expect. I hooked them up to my Alpine 4ch amp and fired them up!! "oooh dear" they sounded dreadful, the bass was...

Pennine View II - That's more like it..!

Advantages: Location, excellent choices, great attentive service
Disadvantages: Traditional interior might not appeal to all, slightly expensive

...The Alpine Restaurant at Denshaw was the chosen venue to celebrate my parent's Ruby Wedding Anniversary last week. I think it would be fair to say that we are not exactly regulars at this fine establishment as do I believe the last time any of us went was actually over 18 years ago, when we had an 18th birthday party for my sister. Well, if you go to a place too often, it spoils it doesn't it? Geographically speaking, Denshaw is close to Junction 21 of the M62 and forms part of the district of Saddleworth. Many roads meet here, and so the town and restaurant are easily accessible from Oldham, Rochdale, Huddersfield and Halifax, and it is definitely worth the trip when you see the views over the surrounding countryside and towns and the restaurant's location is fantastic. Service was excellent and very friendly from the moment we...

Pounding bass for your pound

Advantages: Great Bass, Very Compact, only £100
Disadvantages: None that I have found so far

...Alpine have always held a high position of regard for in car entertainment since I first installed a complete 1250w sound system back in 1990. I own a Peugeot 206cc and have installed an Alpine DVD head unit and although more than impressed with the standard speakers (which I hope to upgrade at some stage with a set of JBL's) when the roof is down it hard for any standard set of speakers to provide the bass required. There is also a severe limitation to available space, I had seen an installation wich would have completely filled my boot but I was after a more practical solution. Enter the Alpine SWD 1600's, although only 6.5" this 150w active sub on paper at least met my requirements. Alpine market the Subwoofer as a Fill in for the main cabin of a car in a big installation (where the subs are usually located in the boot) or to...
