No one I know of. But this is 12 speakers, a a sub, an amp and all the parts to be pretty close to plug and play. It's not out just yet so it's unknown how well it's tuned and how it sounds, but conceivably they could have created a well balanced system. Of course there will be some subjectivity to that.$3k? Who in the world would pay that money for a speaker and amp?
I doubt it's intended to hit that hard. Seems more like an incremental but comprehensive upgrade. Still 200W RMS on the sub alone should be plenty strong for most people. I'm thinking many EV owners would like to keep any impacts to take minimal so am incremental upgrade may be just the thing. Certainly, being from a mainstream brand is likely to appeal to many.I paid $300 for 12” subwoofer with enclosure, 750w amp and wiring kit from Skar.
I don’t think the alpine will hit as hard as my current system.
Oddly enough, there is an 11-speaker + sub version for the base sound system for the same price. I'd reckon there is a lot more bang for the buck there even with 2 less speakers, but it seems like it would be slightly cheaper.
I'm not really in the market for an upgrade myself (an ad came up on my Instagram feed yesterday for some reason), but I'm told I have a pretty substantial discount on Alpine products, so if reviews are good and the price is right, I may consider it. I don't think I'd consider it at MSRP.
