is the alphasonik brand any good?

Hey guys I was wondering if people on this forum think of alphasonik highly in regards to sound quality and reliability in general. I have a large discount on them due to a relative of mine but I was looking for a honest non biased opinion. Thank you

No, not in general.  But they are some sweet looking amps and worth doing some experimenting with.  I wouldn't buy a boatload until I'm convinced of their worth, though.  They are an Audiobahn product.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Il tell you the truth, you just scared me big time when you told me it was audiobahn. I was thinking of putting a new system in my 06 rsx type s with all audiobahn components but now I dont know anymore. I don't have the luxury of experimenting because even though I get it cheaper it will still be a huge waist of money. Do you think it will sound worse than upper range infinity, jbl, or kicker speakers and amps? Thank you as always

In my last post when I said all audiobahn i meant alphasonik but I guess its basically the same anyways

I wouldn't buy into anything in the Audioabahn family.  Alphasonic wears a sports coat as opposed to Audiobahn which flies in your face with the grill and diamond earings, but the production is on the same line.  Kicker is not what it used to be.  Of those choices I would look at what JBL and Infinity have.

Quite honestly, if you use any amp based on what it CAN do rather than what it TELLS you it can do, you can have a fine system.  The speakers, on the other hand, have to be listened to in more than one environment for you to decide if that is the sound you want in your car.  You shouldn't make a decision based on discounts or relatives in the business.

yeah and plus i didn't get the impression that alphasonik was user freindly and the amps have the rca and power connections right next to each other which is a nono. Il tell you the truth I was only looking at alphasonik because of the discount. I was always looking at other stuff as well. Right now what do you think about kicker ks6.2 components in the front doors with ks60 coaxials in the rear side panels with one of their subs in a custom qlogic enclosure for my car. I think I will power all this with a kicker zx700.5 amp. I am particularly interested on your opinion of the ks6.2 component set in regards to sound quality and how much better do you think this setup will sound then the stock bose that came with the 06 rsx type s. Also I should add that I will be getting a eclipse headunit with a minimum 5 volt preout.

1.  Props on the head unit choice.

2.  Will definitely sound better than the stock Bose.

3.  I'm not familiar enough with Kicker or some of the other manufacturer's latest lineups to advise on choice.  Any forum members who know the current choices better can step in and give an opinion.

Thanks steve I appreciate your help

what kind of music do you listen to most?

my friend has the coaxials in his truck and i dont really like them, highs are really sharp. they are good for getting loud and taking power but the SQ isnt all that good. ive had good luck with jbl and eclipse speakers.

two 12" cadence TXW-12S, cadence TXA-3002 amplifier, 1990 toyota celica system 10 speakers

you talking about the ks60's? Yeah well they arent that expensive it's just the kicker amp really works out for me cause it's 70 watts at 4 ohms for all 4 channels plus the sub channel can be used at 2 ohms to produce 420 watts. infity and jbl produce a 6 channel that is not nearly as good as the kicker and it's way less powerful. saying that i also like to have everything from the same company when I put stuff in. Thats why I had alphasonik on my list as they make a 5 channel that has great specs at least. I know that memphis makes that belle which is 5 channel and powerful but it's way more money. Anyone have any other ideas?

Why would you think that? Eclipse, Nakamichi, Zapco... They've all been doing that same thing for years, with no issues... ALL of my Eclipse amps are set this way... All connections on one end of the amp. All of the decks you might look at have the RCAs right next to the power.

All I am saying is that there have been many discussions about this very fallicy, and some even here on this forum. Don't NOT buy the Alphasonik for that reason. There are so many OTHER reasons not to buy it!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I have Two Alphasonik PSW812J pushed by a Alphasonik PMA600HCA and for the price I paid I think It was well worth it.  Not sure what db level I'm hitting but they hit hard.  Haven't had any problem with clipping, overheating, destortion.
