Default New Alpine System

I traded my 2010 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara with the Infinity system last week for the 2013 Sahara with the Alpine(not because of the sound system).

I immediately noticed a difference in the two. To my ear the Alpine has less punch and clarity. The Alpine system is still great for a stock unit but in comparing the two Infinity just had more volume and better sound.

Ive also noticed Jeep is not advertising the specs...wattage information on the "Premium" Alpine system for the Wrangler.

This is minor. The overall refinements between the two year models are very thoughtful.

Traded a 2011 for a 2012 with Alpine. I agree, the Infinity sounded better. The interesting thing is that the rear sub plastic molded cover still has Infinity stamped in it even though my build sheet says I have the Alpine. Has anyone else noticed this or have they changed it?

I bet it has to do with the fact that the infinity system was all class ab amplification and alpine is touting all tiny class d amplification as are most car audio companies, which on the cheap doesn't sound nearly as clean as ab amplification.

Alpine is a great system didn't realize they went to alpine in 2013 - why the departure from infinity?
