Well, everyone has their own pics......But my pic HAS to be Rockford Fosgate......I have a full Fosgate system....T-I-G-H-T!!!!!!!!!!!!



But Hey....Whatever Just had to throw in my 2 cents.......

 

rockford is pretty good

 

Boss which is not Bose, is nestled down there with walmart and BigBubba's flea market grade equipment. Depending on what Audiobahn subs you got got they may or may not be good, but probably good beginner subs. Phoenix Gold makes some of the nicer midline car audio equipment. Thats Phoenix Gold, Phoenix Digital is another one of those amp companies that put a 1000 watt mark on their amp either out of outright lieing of a power rating that was taken at full tilt right before the amp blew. Your phoenix digital amp is going to be lucky to be putting out 50x4 only because those Boss speakers wouldn't take anymore then that. And the subwoofer amp is probably pushing 200x2. Everyone has to start somewhere, and your's isnt that bad. Just be careful who you say I have 2000 watts in my car to.

I have JBL amps and they are by far the best ones I've ever delt with (I've installed a lot of them.) I have them mounted on the back of the rear seats and never have an overheating problem unless it's PUMPED for an hour or more. The sound output is amazing and the power ratings are definitely lower than what they can actually put out.

I saw people talking about Infinity in here too. I have perfect 6.1 components in the front, nothing in the back, and a Perfect 12.1 sub. I LOVE these, sooooo clean and dang loud too.

GO HARMAN KARDON!

 

And don't forget to put in a few 42" plasma TV's, then a few monitors, and a Sony PS.

 

i'm gonna agree w/ rem on that jbl being the best bang for the buck, i personally run boston acoustics, i have their 6 1/2 componet pro series (125 rms) w/ their 93s 6x9's and i have the pro 12" sub i personally like DEI amps, had them since they came out and never one problem. the thing about car audio is that you can have cheap ****, and as long as its powered right it will sound good, but i may not last, just remember there is no substitute for quality and quality don't come cheap, and def get yourself a new head unit, the entry level pioneer would sound better than that boss

 

I still have to say Infinity is the best sounding speakers/subs out on the market and their amps are just as good, not as high powered as some but can outperform many of the high power amps out there. I got a full Infinity system and I wouldn't trade it.

 

Syaing that is a very blind statement. There are headunits out there available that cost more than it costs you to buy your used civics. Eclipse has a prestigious high end brand called Monitor Audio, they will set you back in the thousands.

Now however, ill cut you some slack. Harmon Kardon makes JBl and Infinity. Infinty does sound damn good. I love infinity but I thought you should know.

 

Well IMHO get rid of the Boss stuff its just plain whack period. as far as speakers go check out the home audio stuff. anything from peerles. vifa seas, morel is what sound quality is all about
and u can get any of those brands at a good price from Parts Express. and a good amp is any thing ols school ie Kenwood, Alpine, Fosgate Linear etc
ebay has a ton of the old school amps that kills this new stuff. subs are all basically the same its just depends on your own prefrences. stick with the likes of Kickers, JLs, Fosgates Alpine Infinity etc.



just my 2 cents
