    I installed this in my room, with a car battery and a coustic 175watt 2 channel amp. This was in 99 and i was 14. Good memories, i remember having to flip the deck over once in a while because the tape mechanism would act up. The glow from the square buttons was awesome at night.

    That is one classy unit you have there. I always was a big fan of that very clean design, with those very recognizable 6 green illuminated buttons.

    I would usually pull out my Alpine 7903 and hide it under the seat...carrying it was a pain!

    Man, that's in incredible condition. I must say though that I neither miss pull-outs or cassettes. I literally got into the industry right when they were peaking.

    Back in 1989-'90,when I was still a HS teen.Pull out car stereos was a "new thing".I remember a few male students would bring 'em into class('cause it was also the "in thing" for thieves to break into cars just to get your stereo).

    I remember these very well, the best one I ever had was an Alpine clip off pull out, quality stuff, the good old days 😉

    @danielioful Nice! The 7618 is an excellent unit for sure! I have LOTS of old school car audio gear, but most is amplifiers and speakers...only a couple of head units. Thanks for the comment and for watching my videos.

  • @wal
    @wal  11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I can't say I really miss tapes, but it's cool to see what was high tech back in the day!

  • @wal

    Yes, I may do this in an upcoming video, may help out lots of folks. Great suggestion!

  • @mrchrisk36
    @mrchrisk36 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh man!! I had that one!! That model a friend of the family had a mobile audio business I would help him on occasion and he was an alpine dealer and I bought that deck in 1990!! Brand new!! Through him got it at cost!!! Your geeking me out seeing that head unit!!!! Wow what a find!!!

    In 1988 i bought a 7385M, with HLTAC head and only preamp outputs for today around 650€, a 3539 amp (500€) and an Infinity CS1 Kappa (500€), that was awesome (and expensive!) for that time :) Once Alpine, always Alpine, today a IDE-178BT.

  • @wal
    @wal  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @TheJeremyN Thanks for the offer, if I run across a deal on a 5952 or 5959 changer, I may need one of those DIN cables. I've got an old Coustic XM-3 x-over, but none of the amps or other gear they made

  • @Adamdub612
    @Adamdub612 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    My brother had that exact one and that's when I fell in love with cd players but he had that in like 96 or 97 but it was still clean! Thanks I would use this as my everyday deck

  • @kootenaycat
    @kootenaycat 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! I was just going thru boxes in my garage and found my Alpine 7288 that I bought new around 1991. On mine the rca jacks are labeled "line out rear" and "to changer". I have the Alpine 5957 6 stacker as well and the harness for it is a 8 pin DIN(?) But also has 2 rca plugs wired in. Not sure why but I recall the rcas had to be connected for the changed to work. I'll have to hook this up on the bench one day and make a video!

    • @kootenaycat
      @kootenaycat 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Looking further I even found the original owners manuals for both! I also have a spare chassis for the 7288. Back in the 90's I had a car and a truck so bought the spare instead of another head unit 😁

  • @wal
    @wal  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @normalicy I'm with you. I never bought a cassette deck, used a 2nd hand one until I saved up enough to buy my first CD tuner (1990), the Sony 7520. It lasted about 13 months (just out of warranty), then died. I picked up the Alpine 7903 used and used it for nearly 10 years in 3 different cars until I retired it with a 7894. I would've been much happier saving up 100 more and just getting the Alpine 7903 in the first place..the Sony skipped like crazy, Alpine never did!!

  • @atommachine
    @atommachine 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice cassette deck there! I am going to build a case and put a old school Alpine rig in as a museum display. I will do a upload of my 7289L, Came out of a Lamborghini and has had no use.
    No cd changer control but you can use the pre in for external audio control. Great Channel you got here !

    My dog had a pullout when we were freshman in college 1993. I had a detachable face Sony tape deck.

  • @wal
    @wal  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @thebestofall007 Yes, I do know about the 7909 and 7909 Anniv model. The orig 7909 was 1200 list back in 1990. Not sure the anniv models MSRP, but I know it was up there. It had a copper encasing and used a high-end DAC. I've never tested or used either, as they are (and will probably always be) out of my price range.

  • @wal
    @wal  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @thebestofall007 I always had good luck w/ the old Alpine tuners. In this demo, I didn't even have an antenna connected. You may hear my wife and daughter in the background during some of the segments, dummy me forgot to close the door!

  • @wal
    @wal  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @SeriousBusinessEnt Yeah, a friend had a Nissan Pulsar NX with the Kicker Pre Fab sub (Super Kicker? I can't recall the name - real version of my fake, Pyramid one w/ dual 8 subs and dual 10 passives) powered by a single Punch 45 and it was LOUD! Now, what mfg in their right mind would make a 45 watt amp these days and think it could sell for 300 bucks?

  • @wal
    @wal  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @thebestofall007 I'm not doubting you the Supertuner's were better. I never owned a Pioneer at the time, b/c I decided if the head unit didn't have a rotary volume knob, it wasn't for me. The radio stations I picked up were 30-35 miles away, and again, I had no antenna connected.

  • @wal
    @wal  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @bigdwiz It was driving me crazy...it was called the Kicker Super II. It was a full range pre-fab box with dual 8's (active) dual 10's (passive) and dual horns for mids/highs. The pic I found on Flickr the guy mentioned buying it at a yard sale for 2 bucks!

  • @applejacks971
    @applejacks971 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have one of these in the closet yet! Personally, I like the tune on 89.7fm. Back in the day, if you had an Alpine, you had it all! It actually meant something. To bad they got away from their trademark look and 'Alpine green'.

    @mrchrisk36 That's cool man! I'm hoping someone has a manual, but I may just have to cough up the 10 bucks and buy one. Do you recall what the dealer cost on this unit was? I was able to get Sony stuff at wholesale for a period of time and it was 1/2 of list price. I got my first component set XS-HL45's (5.25 mids, 1 in tweets) for 160 shipped and they retailed for 300. No, Boston's or MBQ's they were not, but for the price I couldn't resist!

    @CLNFREAK1 Yeah, nostalgia is good, but also reminds us how lucky we are to have digital music and easy access today. Listening to a tape and waiting for your song SUCKED! I still like the design, simplicity and build quality of these older units, although in today's money, this head unit would be pushing 1g...

  • @thebestofall007
    @thebestofall007 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @bigdwiz have you tried the 7909? i heard that there is a version of that model (the 30th anniversary edition) where alpine only made around 300 of and i have seen it go for around $1500 (and the price of that deck is expected to go up, WAY UP, as it is a collectors item). do you know of any further details of that model?

    @SeriousBusinessEnt I won't laugh at your Rockwood amps if you don't laugh at my Pyramid Gold series 8" subs w/ the 50oz magnet! Two of those in an old "Kicker" style box w/ dual 10" passives...it actually slammed pretty good! I started around '88, thus why you may notice some older CA gear in my vids. I bet those LP's would demand some nice cash if you still had them!

I have seen guys hot-glue wires in with a specific colored wire at each connector but I was hoping for a "plug and play" solution. Any idea where to get or how hard it is to find? I have tape decks in all my cars-pretty great playback system if the quality is there. Thanks

    Wow, I doubt there are many MINT examples of this head unit remaining. I don't need another, but if you want to sell it, you should try eBay. U might be surprised what these go for now days. It all depends on the bidding war, could be 50 or could be 150

    I just picked one of these up off of ebay and want to put it in my 86 grand wagoneer. I have a 4 channel amp to run the four speakers but I also picked up a powered 10" sub. I know I can hook up the RCA cables from the head unit to the amp but do I just run a wire from the head unit to the powered sub?

    Thanks for this video. I have the 7288 and the CD changer that I bought new in 1989. Question is, I'd like to hook it up now and see 4 RCA outputs, but one is labeled for the CD changer. That leaves only one RCA out labeled REAR. Do you know if the CD Changer RCA can also be used to go to an amp? I'll continue to look for the owners manual, but thought I'd try a question here. -thanks

I cannot find much on the wiring harness. Do you know where I could find one or will I have to make my own (by reverse engineering the connections)?

  • @thebestofall007
    @thebestofall007 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @bigdwiz how far were you from the stations you showed in the video? i used the supertuners because they seem to have above average sensitivity, selectivity, and overload rejection specs (and from first hand field tests comparing them to others, as i am an avid DXer). Now that they have upgraded to the IIID, I can regularly listen to a station from over 120 miles away on 99.9 and it's jammed between a STRONG 100.1 and 99.7. What is on 99.7 doesn't bleed to 99.9 or 99.5.

    • @justingalasso1850
      @justingalasso1850 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's not the case now. I've always used pioneer radios myself and have always liked a radio with good reception and sometimes on clear mornings I like to see what I can pick up and recently I upgraded from an older pioneer touchscreen to a new alpine bc I wanted the carplay features and the tuner on that is the best I've had yet. It pulls in the stations alot stronger than the pioneer as well as others the pioneer couldn't receive at all.

  • @wal

    @valdarmort Nothing, unless Universal Music decides they want to pull you down. There's no due process, they can have you pulled down for any reason at any time. You can appeal, but good luck challenging the record labels. They have no clue about free promotion...my video with the Punch 45 and Polk sub was tagged b/c of Beastie Boys. I bet many people went out and bought a Beastie Boys song b/c they heard it in my video...Sony music says I'm infringing on their copyright, oh well.
