Alpine as well for me. I have a 7894 head unit and wouldn't trade it for anything except for another Alpine.
Speakers, I prefer Diamond Audio. I have 2 sets of the M6 series in my 84, and love them. I also have an Audiobahn amp running a 12" JL Audio sub.

Ill have to say yes to Alpine but only for head units.. If it comes to subs id have to go with LANZAR.. I had 4 10"LANZAR heritage series 800watt subs running off a Rockford 500a.2 bridged mono..It was all in a 86 cuttlas with a set of 1000watt 6x9's and 500watt 3" peizo tweeters in the dash..They hit so hard that the speedo would jump up at stop lights and could blurr my vision on the highway with the windows down.. :blink: The whole setup only cost me $800 with every thing including the wireing..Nothing like having truckers looking over at you on the highway or over blasting someone who thinks theres is loud..Setting off car alarms for 50 yards,Beautifull..

There are sooooo many great quality manufactors out there, it all depends on what kind of features your looking for and a price range your looking for.
For example: Lets say you want a MP3 player, but dont want to spend $100 or more. Well it looks like if you cant find one used you are forced to go to Pyle or simular brand. But if you want a MP3 player and can spend up to $200 on a player there are numberous brands out there. Panasonic and Alpine pops in my head first. The display may not be fancy, but you get the basic MP3 player that will play cds with a average of 120 songs!! Also something to look at is warranty. If a company has a long warranty they believe in their product and knows it will last. You may find a awesome deal on factory refurb products which mean they have been sent to the factory for repair, but instead of fixing them on the spot the company just sends out a new unit for exchange and finally gets to fixing the original unit. Factory refurbs are great if you dont expect having the equipment for longer than a year or so. I could write a book on the subject of brands, but you need to get out there and get reviews from people that run it on the streets. Find "Joe Blow" that has had the same equiment for years and get with the shop/place he bought it and ask questions and hopefully you will leave with a supra full of speakers, amps, and a kick ass cd player with the option fo satellite radio. I personally have ran the same companies for years and will do so for many years. I run clarion/panasonic for headunits, run Zapco for my amps and eq's, and run Cerwin Vega/Treo for my speakers (highs, mids, and subs) and have not had any problems with any of it.

Okay, Head units I'd have to say Pioneer Premier, Alpine, and Sony make the best. But for speakers I say Rockford Fosgate and Boston Acoustics have to be the best out there. For subs I'd say JL Audio is the best.

its all about eclipse head units. starting out with 5 volts on their beginner decks, up to 8v and even 16 with the adapter.
for amps, youve got either eclipse, mtx, or jl. depends on what you want. eclipses .008% thd rating is rediculous. with their biggest4 channel being almost 200w rms is nutsos. jl is expensive, buts rips power supplies on the slash series amps keep everything sounding and looking great. if youve got the cash and love the way that music actually sounds, no other choice than Focal. you hear things that youve never heard on the same cds that youve got. amazing bass response. smooth highs that are never too bright and power handling that will hold up with most anything youve got. if youre a broke ass or dont have any friends ni the biz, go with infinity. sound good, but the tweeters are kinda bright. clifford alarms. or anything from directed for that matter. just not amps or speakers. If you want the most badass stuff available, macintosh amps, soundstream or zapco. resonant engineering and image dynamics also make great subs. i forget who makes them but a series called rainbow or something like that are beautiful too. and either eclipse or nakamichi for headunits. and dont buy cheap stuff. you get cheap sound. |
