as i remember there are 2 ways and 3 ways version of the F1 series
the previous version is made by scans

nope...they arent
only type X are made by vifa

You right...!

if the speakers r made from denmark, is it considered as vifa or scanspeak?o they r both the same.. HE HE

indeed they're not the same
vifa is vifa
scans is scans
although they are under the same mother company
but production, RnD, target market all diff

cant expect them to produce the same thing

What the difference sound between vifa & scans?

macam abang adik aje

mean same la...

u same with ur brother ?
physically, mentally, technically

physically - i am taller, my bro is fatter
mentally - i am lazier, he is more hardworking
technically - both the same

Wahaha...

ooooiii, wats happening to my thread huh became some sort of joke...hahahaha...

anyway, Im back with few questions again...hope to get some answers from sifus here...

1. is it true those speakers sets have almost very limited warranty ? I was quoted alpine gives 3 mths warranty and sony gives no warranty watsover for their speaker sets ? how about other brands ? normally this is not the same for HUs and amps however which gets 1 year warranty, according to a salesperson....

2. so I guess I have finally decided wat to take...the alpine type R SPS-176A for about less than RM1K ...wat u guys think of this ? any comments...if everything goes well today, will go and install it in the evening today..... pics are as below....mind to say its not the latest type R model with different grill set and different looking crossover....

3. between this type R and type S, how much difference is it in between these two? I mean any huge differential features or functionality? price difference between the 2 is about RM300....









hopefully to read some comments before going to install it....thanks to all...

Make sure the sound You like to listen example dynamic, bass, vocal...
Base on this, you listen the speaker and compare it your self.

shocker,
this information is for u
alpine official distributor/dealer

call them whether they provides 3 months or 1 year limited warranty
i remember my HU got 2 years warranty
hope it helps

loon, I only manage to compare this to LA bolt (RM400) and RF punch (RM1300) component sets, type R doesnt have punchy bass compared to above LA and RF, vocal and dynamic is acceptable IMHO, need to listen it the car then only know....

I got a question, if between type R and S, of course R is better but then wat might be the biggest difference between these 2 ? I didnt get to test R and S side by side....

mid bass and details not as refine for the type S

Where you compare those component?

Try to listen the component by same song... If can you should bring you favor CD and listen for it...

I feel Alpine Type S & R quite chapalang on sound characteristic ... all characteristic got but not so good loh..
