oh I got an alpine 502 and H701 so sound is much better!
Not sure if I mentioned it in this thread.

You probably did, but I didnt bother reading every post

Audison is a good brand and hopefully the BitOne is as good as everyone says. I just couldn't really wait that long .

The H701 is an excellent processor in itself. I wasn't aware it worked with the 502 though.

Sure does, and the 2din screen is a pretty good interface to control it. Not sure when the alpine optical cable is out, but i may fit one keeping digital all the way to the processor. It's pretty clean through the Ai-net cable anyway..

we believe that the optical cable is called KWE-610A

not sure when its available, ive emailed alpine 4times about it with no reply. Ive also pre-ordered this cable from my local car audio store.

Thanks, as long as they aren't too $$ (< $100) may add one. Hopefully they arent too many months away.

Btw my audio store advised not to use the Panasonic cable some people are as it doesn't fit properly and Alpine dont advise it either.

I bought the 360.2, and I'm extremly happy with it's results...

At the moment until I upgrade, I'm only using the factory speakers running off low power from a four channel amp as well as I simply sub setup, and it's keeping more than happy...

When I looked at buying the 360 it offered all the adjustments that i would want out of a high end head unit, only i can install this into any car without a worry. I would love to buy a good headunit but with the way cars maunifactors are integrating all there systems together it approaching impossible... (Well almost)

However this is just my opinion

[RSKIKR]

surprised there arent more of this sorta thread... people ripping out factory integrated system putting in after HU's looks so ugly sorry to say.
Ill be getting an alpine pxeh650 soon and integrating it with my car, hopefully the results are good, and you'd be none the wiser to look at it

Good luck with that, its certainly worth trying the OEM head unit out first. Then you may realize you can't polish a turd and should start with a decent source. Not to mention if you want ipod &/or USB connectivity, plus bluetooth the factory options are pretty damn expensive and maynot work that well. What brand head unit - some prob still dont have mp3, and you have to like the head unit to start with.

At least with the 2din alpines it may be after market but one of the neater looking ones.

Audison's BitOne was supposed to be here in July I think, however I'd imagine we won't see anything until about september. However, send an email to RMA Phil, he should be able to give you a heads up.

I wasn't aware that the BitOne came with an auto calibration mic though?

Don't even dream about the JBL. Its the best of the lot but given it was supposed to be out 2 years ago it might not even see the shelves.

BitOne gets my vote on specs for the moment..

[edit: oopsy. my bad. it does come with autoeq. http://blog.sounddomain.com/gadget/2008/04...dison.html#more]

BIT ONE will not be using a microphone, full details as and when they are released.

Meant to say depends if you're doing an upgrade on the cheap or not. how good is your factory head unit anyway, most are crap. No amount of processing will make it sound as good as a simple after market head unit. But for better sound you have to buy more stuff from the shop..
