The Best Sound, Cast Your Vote!!!

[ED Cobalt]

Just wandering what you guys reckon you should buy to get the best sound in your car. I put this post up to take part in a little bit of good ol general debate, as for myself i'm an ALPINE man all the way, i think that if you don't want a big extravaganza head unit with flashing lights and the ability to make your very own KFC, alpine is the way to go for kick *** sound. :sm_headba :sm_headba :sm_headba

Hehehe me too. But I do think Alpine head units are up near the best. I would have an Eclipse unit but the faces aren't removable :

[CruizinEB]

Other for me, CLARION

[stockstandard]

Ill vote alpine cos thats what i have (CDA-9827). Best sound in the price range I was looking at anyway.

[niko]

jvc (dex loven em, not bad in amps not the best but cheapies)/clarion (dex good run)/altec (amp sh,it kiker thats seen a raping)/response (amps good run) /boss (speakers good for cheapies) (suprisingly)/pioneer (speakers not bad qual) /VDO dayton (subs mmmm built with quality in mind)/ aerpro (cap, not bad so far, saving the electrics!)

[InitialD]

other for me...

VDO baby :P (for speakers)
Alpine make some great amps ;) kick *** all the way if you have the money
Pioneer (for decks... but the recent ones are meh in the RCA department)

actually the BOSS amps aint that bad like you say nick, GUNNS's better half has one in her telstar and it hammers!

[niko]

i have installed a few but never had one, im refering to speakers there, i think my 6" are blown but there running the hinotes and sound quite fine through an amp

dont like all vdo stuff, some of its philips, my sub is vdo dayton and is sweet as, made in denmark, real rubber surround and just beefy.

the VDO stuff made by Phillips America is good :P and the Dayton stuff is still made by Phillips aswell nick:P Crack open my Dayton Amp and what does it say? PHILLIPS XP### lol

[niko]

my sub, says made in denmark, not one mark of philips :P

i was talking more there standard speaker range, not the best from what ive played with. look great but very sensitive.

PG, Audison and Focal, i knew there were a few i missed off my list.

It's intresting to see the choices people make. Even easier to see who would fess up to having $10K in audio gear

there are alot other brands that are good for mix and match, but i like
Alpine
Rockford Fosgate
Eclipse
JL Audio
all other sh** too waheva sounds good to the ears :

[niko]

my sub was selling for 280 not in box...wen i got it few years ago.

wouldnt mind trying coustic, played with 2 coustic amps and loved em both, simple, good looking, dam powerful.

[FairmontEL]

For what i can afford alpine all the way have had pioneer stuff before and was not impressed mostly overpriced and nothing special. Focal and all that are good but way to expensive for me... From wat ive heard in initial d's car VDO's go hard aswell

[MrQuan]

I've got Fusion all round (front splits, rear 3-ways, 12" sub and all fusion amps) and it sounds crystal I run it off a Clarion HU and it's not muddy or distant at all.

I've also put 2 more fusion 12" subs and a nice 2 x 130W RMS fusion amp on order yesterday. Can't wait to hook up triple 12" subs, fold the seats down and blow my head off. :togo:

...it's all getting a bit expensive though. I was hoping to get some nice rims soon, but I went and blew it on more audio :

[saudia_man]

you'd need 6 standard car batteries and a big mutha alternator for that superwoooofer!! lol

[DUMTEF]

go the response 800wrms monoblock amps!!!!

[-jjM-]

pioneer would in my car, 6" front n 6x9 back, 2 12" subs soon, it dose the job for me, just my cruddy JVC cd player that needs to be replaced

[FPVWEPN]

mtx, focal, soundstream

[gozza]

i got pretty budget stuff sounds good tho
i had 3 way pioneer 6*9's 220 and they cained upgraded them to the 270 4 way..my mates got the old ones and they still hammer..they got fukin flogged..good value
xplod 50*4 head unit 2 12 inch xplod subs alpine splits and a very crappy 1000 watt boss amp...which has lasted a few years and gos aiight for the money

[ED Cobalt]

Mate, i just orded my 2 12" alpine R-Type subs, both running at 500RMS each, and an MRD-1005 mono amp pumpin out 1800 watts for them both, i'll take you all on lol.
