[audio_earthquake]

i work at an audio shop that sells kenwood, jl, boston, alpine, and directed this is my opinion on the stuff that we carry and how they compare up. i have feelings about other brands i like mtx subs they are great but haven't worked with them much. memphis makes some good stuff i like their mclass speakers and their old studio amp are great dont care much for their reference series amps tho, kicker i personally like and the kicker subs and amps i have dealed with have been good love the comp vrs and the solos great for spl. xtant makes some awsome products their amps are xtreamly impressive and their x series subs just great.

everything with a system depends on your equipment you can spend 1000 on a sub and 200 on an amp and put them in a prefab box and get ****ty performance or you can spend 125 on a sub 200-300 on a good amp and 125 for a custom box and have a great sound system. if your going to ne thing with a system just make sure you get good equipment and have a box made for those subs for the music you like. here is my reviews of the stuff that we carry enjoy

jl w1's are the way to go for about 125 for a 12 you can't got wrong they may not take alot of power but i promise if you put them in a good box and have a nice little amp you can't go wrong for cheap
or
alpine type s subs are bomb for cheap
anything directed is cheap and dont really care for them to much

for mid lvl

jl audio w3's little more pricey but ****ing a i have installed so many w3's and am always impressed with them take alot of punishment and come out hammering almost can't beat these badboys
alpine buy the type r's take quite abit of power ****ing hammer

upper
jl w6's bad boys that are made for spl take a pair and put atleast 1000 watts and stand back and be prepared to be impressed some of the best subs you can buy
jl w7 expensive as hell but definately impressive for sq and don't do bad for spl did a truck with 2 8w7's wit a kicker 1000 on it and it would tickel your ears
alpine type x bad boys must push atleast 1000 watts to each sub they are xtreamly power hungery subs but sound amazing

speakers
boston makes some awsome sounding speakers that are really reasonably priced definately worth looking into
alpine the type s speakers are good entry lvl
alpine type r's bad boys alot of midbass sound amazing
kenwood makes some decent speakers
jl's i don't really care much for the jl speakers they sound ok but the bostons sound alot better in my opinion although i really really love the zr's but they are hella expensive
alpine type x speakers need alot of power but sound good they take alot of power

amps
in my opinion jl amps (slash series) are the best for alot of reasons regulated power supplies so you get full power not depending on your voltage and if lightening strikes your car, alot of r and d spent on how they sound, will put out full power on any ohm load between 1.5 and 4 ohms
alpine definately some awsome amps sound beautiful and will put out some power however dont go down to 1 ohm and don't have regulated power supplies but still a great product and definately worth buying
directed - cheap stuff one of those brands that pushs but you know its an entry lvl product good for peps who don't wanna spend alot of money but want some power stay away from the d600 crappy amp although haven't had ne problems with the d800 d1200 or d2400 amps

i hope that this might have helped some of you in deciding what kind of stuff to use or not use if you have ne questions just hit me up my email is audio_earthquake@yahoo.com peace out
