Geek Grotto

Alpine has a contest up for you to win one of their "BASSLINE" products. We had a chance to listen to these at CES and were blown away.  These are small, clean subs that have some nice punch at a great price point. If my budget allowed for 1, then it would be in my car!

It's been 8 month's since I last got a chance to play with Alpine's flagship INE-Z928HD and I can say it's one hell of a Head Unit! Trust me, the $1,499.95 is worth it!  Read the full PR after the jump!

We here at the Grotto are not only just game/anime/toy fans, but we love all kinds of tech, including car audio. Alpine's latest combines a 6.1" touchscreen, Bluetooth, HD radio, Pandora streaming from most smartphones, SiriusXM (with adapter), and GPS all into a $999 package!

Our buddies at Alpine just let us know that all of their 2012 single din receivers are now shipping. We played around with a few of these at CES and they are all top notch units. Read The Press Release After The Jump!

We had some time to chat up Alpine about the upcoming INE-Z928HD in car entertainment unit. What we saw blew my mind and made my current IVA-W505 seem like some decades old radio! This unit comes with GPS, Bluetooth, Pandora Radio, iPod integration, and more! At anestimated $1499 price point, it still seems like a deal for Alpine quality. View more and be amazed after the jump!
