Durability:

Alpine; Probably 15-20 yrs no problem.

Nakamichi; Should outlive the car, yourself, your kids, your grandkids, and their grandkids.


Sound:

Both are excellent, Nakamichi sounding slightly richer than Alpine. I use the top end Alpine myself as I felt it had more punch than the Nak.

Both are good makes!
