Well irrespective of the price it's the SQ performs of this unit that is more attractive. Compared to the Alpine's and Pioneer I like natural sounding of the Clarion, especially the mids and high frequency. One of the main reason I choose over the other 3 I had listed on my thread Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood.

The only drawback is the design aspect which am sure would have been great it would sell nothing below 300$ and would have given the Alpine's(being the powerful unit) and pioneer a run for their money.

It is by no means a bad design at all. You have all the control buttons laid out in the front, just need a bit of getting used to which is common for any new product. And I love the slider.

Congrats E_L.

How about some install pics and some pics of the stuff in the car.

Hey John... Congratulations on your setup!

Have you done any sort of dampening on the doors and boot especially?

Cheers!

John,
Why only speaker damping ? And not the whole of the doors/boot with noisekill/dynamat ?

nitrous · 25th May 2009, 12:26

9 ga from Scosche?
Does it say 6.5mm on the wire?
Hope the Alpine ain't starving.
