system question, suggestions? Options

[Rider]

I will soon replace my front speakers b/c they're shot and I'm also gonna get a couple subs. My friend will do the installation for me . I just wanted to ask for your opinion on what brands are best. Should I change the stock head unit, too? Thanks

ok first....every one know JL is way over priced...it doesnt matter how much you bought it....you got a good deal...i mean dont get me worng they make top of the like stuff....but simple for the price it isnt worth it....if you are trying to get spl out of that like a said b4 RE/XXX sub will KILL it no problem hands down.....and infinity kappas will match that for sq for a 10w3v2



and what amo does RF make now that isnt crap.....plz tell me....simple like this..RF use to be know for getting alot of power for a good price since then all there new stuff isnt tottally crap but it isnt what it use to be......so i said it cuz when a company goes from good to ehh ...i dont know what you call it i just said crappy


and yes a aftermarket HU will of course be 10 time better then factory....if thats what you meant sorry i didnt get to read it good cuz i was in a hurry to go to the casino
but most HU now will give you a good signal ...and yeah like i said 45-52x4 max power come down to like 20-25rms times 4...the best i have seen from working one a stereo
was like 22rms something not to sure.....


ohh yeah and RF componets are pretty damm good like you said...i just installed some of the higher end stuff in a jeep and wow really nice i have to say..

and as for MTX you gotta know they make good stuff.....i mean they no where in hell the best...but i was really impressed on new 9500 series ....gives the JL w7 a runs for their money.....i didnt thing it would till i heard it..

as for amps....i bought a mtx 500D amp for 150....its puts out 500 at 2 ohms and 775 at 14.5 volts which most cars these day will put out...new amp wise i dont know havent really worked with them....they arent to bad from what i have read...
