Has anyone heard this system from alpine at the consumer electronics show. Opinions? I know the components are good for the price, but what made this the best sounding system at c.e.s? Install?

no it was just a basic install but the products you got was the best sounding for the cheapest price.

heard it and yes it sounded good, but it had a very good, well thought out intsall done by some of the best installers in the world, it used a grand worth of gear with a install worth at least 5 times that

so, do any of you believe that a similarly priced system comprising of different components would sound as good? In other words is it the components that are the magic ingredient or is it the install?

Sounds like for that system (havent's seen the install myself but just from what I've heard through this thread) it was the install that mattered. Sure there has to be a certain level of quality in the equipment but this sounds like a prime showcase of how a well-designed install can make a huge difference in how a system sounds.

JL did something similar a while back, except the install was prety basic as well.

I would assert that one could build a competitive car with $1000US worth of gear.

Does anyone have any links or information about the install? I'd be interested in learning more about what they did to make this system sound so good.
