JB Hi-Fi are doing 20% off of their Alpine car audio range.
Seems as though the prices are truly 20% off their regular price for most items, unfortunately the Alpine IVE-W554ABT headunit was jacked up from $568 to $642 within the last couple days, a bit of a Dick (Smith) move on JB's part.
Note that all Alpine products are available for pick up in store only (can buy online, no delivery).
May well be cheaper but Alpine is regarded as higher end. Pioneer and Kenwood (like all Car Audio) has dropped in quality.
Actually pay $27 more and get the w264ebt, it got 9band parametric Eq, 3 ways crossover, time correction, 6ch+4v preout.
Alpine Type R speakers can be bought from Ryda for less, ie: http://www.ryda.com.au/alpine-spr-60-6-5-car-speakers at $167 everyday v $183 at JB.
$177 delivered but it gets better if you buy 4 speakers or a headunit etc as postage stays the same.
The S series SPS610 is $127 at JB, $88 at Ryda.
Mixed bag, http://www.ryda.com.au/alpine-cde-153ebt-cd-receiver-vith-us… (out of stock @ Ryda), $207.20 @ JB, $238.85 @ Ryda.
Alpine gear was very popular in the 90's. Ive still got 2 Alpine AMP's (from a set of 3) that were bought in the mid-90's. 1 still works, the other worked when it was last used, 8 years ago.
Had a few myself that lasted a long time. Very popular in the 2000s too.
Still a bit expensive, even with 20% off, For example, The cheapest Alpine bluetooth model is $207.20. Compared to $179 for Pioneer and $158 for the Kenwood which are better value.
