Interesting. The girlfriend keeps saying she wants a new radio, I think I can probably talk her into one of these since I use torque pretty religiously.

Looks like Im am going to wire my subs up like the picture, I have 2 DVC 2 Ohm alpine R's and will bridge the amp and run them that way. Should work I hope

Any updates on the latest versions with Nougat? I'm seeing a lot of the units now are claiming a fast-boot for 2 second boot times. Something like an extended sleep mode. Curious if anyone else has one.

This looks really awesome. As you said that the implementation of android in the car. It sounds so good.

@EnergyCC do you have xp with alpine stereos? Would you recommend them?
Sorry for being off topic.

I'm looking for a good stereo and my vote will be on the Alpine.

Now I was trying to gather as much info as possible but most review blogs are junk.
I mean they are hyping and when I've checked out some actual customer reviews the
difference is huge.

Along with my journey in review land I came across a different site. It seems to be the real deal. I mean it harshly criticizes the flaws that each brand has. This has put me on the fence.For example there's a review about Alpine w650 HU. I was eyeing this headunit.

How bad is that slow startup? Does it take 20s to boot up? What about the value for the money?

Any insights are highly appreciated
