bigaudiofanat... I have to tell you that I'm a fan of Alpine and I almost bought the W505... but you have to agree that the iPod/iPhone integration is lacking some upgrade to be more effective.

Alpine had a good single din unit until the DEX-P99rs was released!

Having to dock a nav is a pain in the *ss!! and I agree with you about the iPod/iPhone integration.

Audio system installed today guys. It's beating up... the Focals are incredible and I'm happy with the 12W6v2 but the enclosure could be a little bit better in my opinion. I've noticed also that when I'm not listening music, there is a small background noise like "shhhhh" that I'm not sure whether is normal or not. I took the car to bestbuy but I don't know if that was the best option.

What don't you like about the enclosure?

The enclosure is small for this sub and I think a ported one would get better results for the W6v2. But even though it's doing a great job.
