Alpine PWD X5 unboxing and review 

I'm going to put one under or behind my Dodge 1979 Power Wagon, W-150 beach seat. I'm thankful for you review. No need for a deck and seeing it in use with the app and in the vehicle sold me enough. Because you explained the amp more, now I am excited to buy tweeters for the dash and 6x9s in the doors.

This is it. Perfect addition to stock heading I think. I'm going to add alpine 6.5 speakers to doors to match up and this should make a great system for quality.

Sounds like a great idea for a classic car or someone that just wants a little more without having to mess with the factory radio. For about the same price you could run a key and a separate sub though

Awesome Content guys Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

This thing is absolutely genius

Great video guys, surprised, to see yall surprised, must've had a bit of bass ,and good highs, Fernando to each there own ,on the small sub,in your car.Not me im going on fifty,and still run two high power subs!!! Thumbs-up 👍

I think it woukd be a good idea to showcase sound system bundles. Like which amps pare with the right speakers. Etc etc

Very cool product to get a great sound quality system. So many options! this is great.

This is the new 5 o'clock special.

Thank you! I just bought it and install in 2019 Camry hybrid. It sounds amazing!

Guys let me point out something. The product worth it for someone that want to have everything in one but doesn’t look for blow the neighborhood of craziness. 25W for every channel is a decent power for a regular use of a car radio. We get processor and Sub with Amp. Is a good package in my opinion.

Cool amp!

Can 2 of these be daisy chained using just one input and jumpered to the other?

100x4+500!-Ideal

What are the advantages of this versus getting the seperate Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack amp and Alpine PWE-S8 compact subwoofer?

I actually purchased one because of this review. I have small Yaris IA for as my work commuter and since it's small I didn't want go crazy with a big system and after fiddling with this product I got it sound great and I ended changing the factory speakers with alpine type S 6.5. it's wasn't alpines fault it was mostly Mazdas fault but it wasn't the easiest to EQ since the factory system has a built in EQ curve for the factory speakers. So you kinda have to compensate and take a give away in the EQ what the factory curve gives and takes away. But that's what's great about this product. The DSP.

Would this be a good fit for a 2019 f150 , could it be hidden behind the rear seat ?

Can the amplifier in the PWD-X5 drive 2ohm/3 ohm speakers? I have asking this question to the Dutch distributor. They say the pwd-x5 can not handeling 2ohm loudspeakers because ther is not enough iformation. I want this because I have loudspeaker from the brand blam audio and they are 2ohm.

Can it be configured for an active front setup?

Correct me if I am wrong. 25W RMS per channel is not the same delivery of a modern factory radio??

Can it be used as a DSP and connect to a much stronger amp via the outputs?

Hello. The USB port to connect The Bluetooth dongle can also be used as an input to connect other players?

25x4+160 sounds like a good match for Hybrids

25w x 4 for speakers isn't a lot.... and its 165w subwoofer.... i mean, pretty much every factory radio features that much power these days. kinda doesn't make sense as a product. I think these companies need to rethink their ideas. If you are gonna make something like this, it should feature at least a 200w subwoofer, and then 50w to 75w for four speakers... that makes more sense to me....

Hola soy Fernando de Argentina. Quisiera saber que tipo de archivos decodifica el receptor bluetooth que trae el subwofer? Soporta mqa? Saludos

I'm curious if flipping it to fire into the floor would be better

Do you need the bluetooth dongle to be able to pair it with your iphone to make dsp adjustments on the app?

Did you Guys Install Any Amp of the C 7 Corvette?

Besides who needs to hear, ima basshead!!

I wonder if this fits under the seat of my RZR

Does it help with bass roll off?

Can you hook up 2 of them together? Gotta single cab Chevy squarebody.

I've heard that the volume knob doesn't work when connected to a Bluetooth source. Is that correct?

Bazooka made a bass tube with a 4 channel amplifier

If you use the high level inputs, do you need to use all 4 channels? My rear speakers are set at -8 dB and can hardly be heard from the factory head unit. The front speakers sound good and are receiving a full range signal down to 40Hz.

Can I add this to my 16 jku that already has installed PSS22-WRA alpine system???

Seems very complicated to control. So can I connect all four woofers in my car to this?

I'm curious what sounds better, the 4 channel kicker key 180.4 with for example the jbl BASS PRO GO subwoofer or the alpine pwd x5?

Love the "you may need to download a trial of a rar program" wonder how long hes had winrar for free lol.

that's an overwhelming number of levers and switches. it'd be great if it just comes with a microphone that you can position where you sit and it automatically set all those levers and switches.

I guess trying to never mount amp onto speaker box ...to avoid vibration affecting amp ...is going to be a challenge on this one ...lol

Can you run two of those badboys?

Just question , the bass are round?

Looking at putting on in my Abarth, and keep the 7" factory head unit. I think it will be quite impressive in such a small car. Was thinking of running it with the factory speakers first then if i want more swap out the front and run it active. Any suggestions on some (ideally Alpine) 6.5" comps to run of the 4 x 25w active.

Saw it here first.

Can you hook this sub to a aftermarket stereo say like the Alpine ILX-F511 Halo 11 and control the EQ and settings from it??

I’m considering putting this in the trunk of my motorcycle

"classic car" the game just changed.

great review as always and very interesting device.. but why they need to separate the bluetooth instead of integrated on the device itself, it is only small module..

Can u bridge and make 2 channels?

I love...loveeee this idea. But this is not 480$. If it costs more than 100$ to manufacture I'd be surprised. The dsp doesn't matter when you're only getting 25x4. It's a solid 199$ unit max.

most stock audio systems send 20 or 50 wrms to the speakers so its no really usefull

25w not enough to the speakers, most OEM would wipe the floor with it, even basic aftermarket radios is more, needs to be t least 50w RMS as not worth the work for less.

Good Lord, whatever happened to simple systems..? Nah, I’m good with my olé school 🤷🏽‍♀️

this is more of an instructional video rather than a review.

industry 1st? wtf ... like 1990's people where building into the box ....

25W x 4 is marginally more than a head unit.....meh.
