Saw a reference to these on the 'What have you been doing' thread. They look awesome. Anyone tried them yet ?

Looking to be about £400 for the kit.

There's a smaller 165mm door speak option available too.

They’re “plug n play” I believe! (Well, a straight swap out using existing connectors!) I’m tempted too but would like to hear reviews too.

@Absolut5 - any views on this kit?

I think my old plug and play Focal kit was about £200 from Skipton, it gave really good results, even better with an amp.

Skipton and Absolu5e both offer even better plug and play kits now, I think the Alpine kit is a bit pricey in comparison?

Well you know I prefer the subtle, discrete look, I like to blend in

Lovely looking and top build quality, but @ £379.00 and the more expensive Eton F2.1 you will see marginal gains in performance especially with the Alpines as they are still 4 ohm and low sensitivity, to get the them working they really need a amp, we always recommend a amp on 8”

we can do a full plug and play focal 8” kit with a focal amp which will give Huge gains in low end response, volume and quality over the above speakers, and not much more money

Thank you - food for thought there! Don’t think I will be buying the Alpines then. If I go the amp route, I’d prefer someone who knows more than me to fit it though!

I am the guy that posted the original thread on my install, obviously everyone has a different ear and so it’s subjective, but I’ll be at bus fest if anyone wants to have a listen to them in person. But I’ll warn you, when you see the tweeters in the flesh, it’s a bit like seeing Beyoncé (insert attractive male or female of your choice) in the flesh, you’d listen to them sing all night long, regardless of what they sounds like!!

Such a vivid description! The tweeters look great, I must admit!

 

[Martin Peter]

That's a shame. I was interested in buying them. Looks like I'll have to look for something else.
Can't stand Beyonce.

@Absolut5, looks like I'll be bringing you my new van for Focal or Rainbow.
Love the Rainbow 8" you fitted 5 years ago in my old one. Possibly a sub and amp this time, although the rainbow were pretty impressive on their own with the added sound deadening.

Rainbow are no longer available, but we do a superb sounding Focal speaker kit with focal amp, all plug and play , or can do the Alpines with the Focal amp

8” speakers always benefit from a amp to get the best out of them

Hi all. Feel I should just add to this thread as the one that originally posted the pics. You may have seen I had some issues with my overall install in another thread with regards to not getting enough voltage through the amps, but this is resolved now and so I can give a fair report on them. They sound phenomenal now, clean, crisp, Full bodied, but still able to pick out the detail even at volume. Definitely glad I put them in.

Does the caravelle have 3 way speakers in the front? Or was that a Dynaudio setup? I asked Alpine about the kit, apparently it is available in limited supply, but they recommended the 6" speaker if I have the sub because it makes a better mid.
could you give me a run down of the focal bits you fit and could it be 3 way possibly with amp and no sub?

The T6 Caravelles normally come with just 6.5” 2 way, the T5 Caravelles mostly had the 8” 3 way setups

we have 8” alpines available, but yes I agree with Alpine if you run a fully amp setup using a 10” sub then it is best to run 6.5” like in our Signature audio

ideally to do a 3way setup, the door positions for the Dedicated mid range is 2 low , so pillar builds would be best to run tweeter/mid

if pillar builds is not on your list, then just go for a 2 way setup

do you want a sub ?

Just fitted the T6.1 version to my van plug and play pretty straight forward to fit just have some spare door card clips to hand.
