So I put the new double din Alpine W200 in last night and I'm very happy with it so far. I've got the nav system that goes with it and am going to do this install tonight. I'm pretty happy with the sound out of the factory amps, but I know so much more is possible with a stronger amp and some beefier speakers. I haven't even gotten into the doors yet to see what speakers are in there yet, but can anyone tell me with the shaker 500 system what I'm looking at replacing size wise?

I'll get some pix of the install on the W200 tonight. It looks very slick in there!

I got some pix, but I can't upload them until I get to work in the morning. I'll post the pix tomorrow!

 

I am about to do the same thing. Did you post these pics yet?

Hey, can we get some more info on this system you have? I am considering getting it and I was curious how you felt about it thus far.

 

Sorry, I'm trying to learn how to upload pix for the first time here.

Yes, I'm very happy with it so far. I do have a few thing I wish they'd have done differently. I have the nav, and bluetooth modules as well, and plan to get the traffic module eventually as well as the HD radio module.

nice CF dash kit....looks really integrated into the dash...only thing i don't like about the new Alpines is that they switched from green to blue lighting...some of the other models in Japan and Europe still have the multicolor buttons....and also they make 2-3 different versions of each model...one with red...one with green and one with blue backlit buttons to match certain cars (BMW/Audi for the red...idk about green....and VW for the blue)...we get screwed here [&:]
