Worst and Best Car Audio Brands?

12-06-2006, 06:38 PM

Id consider it entry level, but I also consider most Pioneer, Kenwood, Clarion, etc radio's entry level as well. Your radio is a good bargain though, 3 sets of pre outs, remote, pretty face, and MP3 playback for 200 bucks is a good buy.

well dog this is what i gotta say... i dont know enough !! about this to have a really intellegent conversation but this is the subs that i got

my budget as of now is about 300$ but i havent sold my old amp yet and i got mad paychecks coming....not tryin to pay above 800$
good lookin' out if u can help

12-06-2006, 11:07 PM

and discard the dual amp that is on the first link im only talkin about the subs

12-07-2006, 12:19 PM

1st off all, the subs and the amp are garbage, 2nd how you do expect to run 2 460 watt subs with 4000w. you shouldn't hook 1 sub to each channel because that would be hooking them up in stereo, you need to bridge them. also, you need to take into consideration the ohms, you need to make sure the ohms match the amp or else you'll have problems

bottom line i say sell it all and start over. give us a budget and we will help you and explain more, but start a new thread

Yea Bro I Co-sign Ghost. Those Duals Are About As Bad As U Can Get & The Lanzar Is Barely Much Better. Start A New Thread With A Budget, Ur Vehicle, & What Ur Trying To Accomplish (crazy Bass, Sq, Comp., Ect.)

Helpiing U Out Is No Problem. There Are Some Guys Here That Really Have Some Good Knowledge But Beware Of The Ones Who Hate On U & Whatever Ur Trying To Accomplish. Get That New Thread Goin & We Can Make It Happen

Everyone above is correct...Dual, Lanzar, Volfenhag, Jenson...it's all the same & it's all garbage. If your budget is truly $300 then you're kind of out of luck unless you find the right guy in the right van in a back-alley in Detroit.

If you can go up to $800 you have all sorts of options. Two Kicker CVR 12's in a Kicker Box w/ a 750.1 amp can run you $700 or less leaving $100 for the wiring. Just an example.

Trust me, you'll be much happier saving your money for a minute & buying good equipment that's going to bang loud & clear plus last a while than burning $300 on garbage.

IF ITS ALL BRAND NEW ID SAY U GOT A GOOD DEAL. MAKE NO MISTAKE THOUGH..... THOSE SUBS ARE TRASH. THE AMP ISNT MUCH BETTER. ITS GOOD FOR MIDS/HIGHS AT BEST. COMPARED TO RETAIL OR EBAY EVEN, U GOT A GOOD DEAL BUT NOT EVERY GOOD DEAL IS WORTH BUYING. ID SAY KEEP THE DECK & SELL THE SUBS & AMP FOR WHAT U CAN GET

($300-$400?) not including cables/boxes/installation ect. and best place to get it?

12-24-2006, 12:07 PM

with a budgetlike that, ebay is your best option, and really $300-$400 is pretty low for 2 subs and an amp. check . they have some good prices and tend to have great sales

Im thinkin about gettin a system, but i cant decide whether to get ascendant audio arsenals, diamond audio M6, or JL audio W6s. seems like you guys know alot about subs. wonderin if you can give me some suggestions, and how well would the ascendant audio arsenals compared with JL W6s anyway?? thanks.

W6's are great sound quality subs. They hit every note perfectly. They sound the best in sealed enclosures with about 500-900rms. The only con about them is the price, but they are worth every penny.

I'm not familiar with Diamond Audio subs (besides the D9) but they also make good subs.

Ascendant Audio are also a great brand. I installed a pair of[..]assins for a friend a while back and I was impressed on how good they sound. For the price, you can't go wrong.

01-16-2007, 08:22 PM

Ah I just realized you said Arsenals. I'm not too familiar with them but I'm sure if the[..]assins sound nice, the Arsenals will, too. Arsenals are probably their SQL sub.

I'd choose a W6 or an Arsenal.

01-16-2007, 08:31 PM

its def either AA Arsenal or the W6... it just depends on what exactly what you are looking for, in my opinion the W6 tends to be more of a pure sq sub, the Arsenal has been marketed as a high quality SQl sub that is extremly musical (it has been compared to the Adire Audio Brahma and has been said to be more musical than a Soundspliter RLp, that is a major compliment since the RLp is one of the most musical subs I have ever heard) and cheap, if it were me i would get the Arsenals so you dont have to deal with JL's overpricing...

01-16-2007, 09:03 PM

thanks for the help guys. Guess ill get some arsenels :)

01-17-2007, 12:33 AM

honestlt the d6's are also great subs, but the arsenals are probably the best priced
