First off, always trust your own ears when speaker shopping. Second, be sure to bring a test CD with you that you are familiar with. Always listen to the speakers being powered by the same amount of power you will be feeding them. Otherwise, they may sound better at the shop than in your ride.

My favorites that I swear by (Personal preference):

Deck: JVC / Pioneer
Speakers: Always MB Quart
Subs: Kicker

[2k3vbpEP]

Decks: Alpine, Pioneer premier
Speakers: MB Quart, Diamand audio
Amps: Soundstream, Orion
Subs: JL Audio, Kicker

[Surprise]

decks: nak, mac, alpine, eclipse, kenwood, pioneer
speakers: rainbow, cdt, focal
amps: ARC, zapco
subs: Image dynamics,

[!@#$%]

deck: alpine
speakers: boston acoustic or kicker
sub: kicker or eclipse
amp: rockford or JL audio

infinity makes good all around subs and components.

What does everybody think of Rockford Fosgate head units?


I've been thinking of putting in a MP3 compatible HU and I really like the design of the Rockford... Nice big dials, big buttons.

But how do they sound?

I'm not a HUGE audiophile, I just want a deck that plays MP3s and doesn't have a zillion tiny buttons.
