Review: Alpine - the single din head-unit sound beast !!! - Somehow I’ve always was a Pioneer Car Audio fan , but 10 years ago purchased Alpine CDA 9887R - at that time was a top Alpine single head unit - the handling was far from perfect but the sound quality compress you all !!! , with Vdrive 4x60w and alpine speakers any music was a pleasure To listen!!! About month ago I’ve experience another stage of sound quality In my BMW E90 - replaced orginal BMW(oem Alpine) head-unit by the newer version of Alpine CDE 178BT - at present time the Top Alpine head-units are double din one - so for one din I chose most advanced Bluetooth One with CD drive - the only criteria was an “audiophile grade components“ , and this was my main reason to buy 178BT model. From beginning- I was totally shocked by the sound stage and dynamics of the sound form my iPhone by Bluetooth , then I start to listen Ed Sheeran newest album “6” from CD - every sound play as should , every bit , every treble , and sound stage get beyond anything I’ve expected from this £170 little unit , in fact I use a very good Hertz Mille pro MPX 165.3 speakers but is no extra amplifier in my boot !!! ... so that little radio Run them self This 100W RMS Italian brand speakers !!! ... so if you wanna upgrade your car sound and like Bluetooth or CD music , and don’t wanna spend a fortune for car audio system - just buy this little single din Alpine head-unit , and any model pair or two - Hertz Mile pro Speakers - and you never regret it !!! ... I can only imagine how play current top Alpine double din radios - but be honest this what I got for a bit over £170 will satisfy most of you , yes it doesn’t have a big touch screen as the double din one but the sound wise it has all you need to enjoy any kind of music in your car for less than £200 !!!!
