Clueless About Audio

I wouldn't get MTX if I was you. Their prices are very high for subs that aren't very high wattage. If your looking to get a more popular brand I would go with something like fosgates or jl's. And I must say that the polks sound very good. About pioneer 6x9's... I wouldn't reccomend them, the highs on them distort easily and the mids on them aren't loud enough.

I would go for a pair of CDTs, you can get at www.thezeb.com Much better than any of that other crap. These are higher SQ.

I have to call bull$hit on this one. I personally have owned a couple different sets of Pioneer 6x9's (a set of 3way's and a set of 4ways), and with the amount of power that they were rated for, they sounded amazing.

Rich, you may have some good working pionneers, but there are much better speakers that are cleaner and louder for the same cost with probably less power.

I agree with you Haibane, but that doesn't mean they arent a good speaker. Just depends what you are going to do with them. I was just defending them against the quote that bumpinstang77 made, saying

I do agree that there are better speakers out there, but I personally (Just IMHO) think that Pioneer speakers are not overpriced for what you are getting.

Also, I am not looking to start a brand war here, so I will drop the subject now.

i didn't read all the posts so someone might have said this,

for your budget i would say that infinity's would be great and so would pioneers.

and it didn't seem like you needed a new head unit, but blaupunkt has some nice cheap ones, with good features.

somebody dissed pioneers head units too, they are very good, and giving alpine a run for their money.

and whoever said that alpine and infinity are the best you can buy,................. punch them in the face, becasue they are dead wrong.

but i will have to side with haibane, get some cdt components.

best thing so far recomended

I have to say I am not a big infinity fan. It seems everyone who owns them immediately becomes egotistical and says everything else is crap. Of course they haven't heard everything else.

[bumpinstang77]

Well all the pioneers I've heard hasn't sounded very good at all especiall with the lack of enough mids it just doesn't sound full.

[Haibane]

bumpinstang, no offense, but I couldn't understand what you meant by the last sentence. Can you use some commas and periods?

[bumpinstang77]

The pioneers I've heard hasn't sounded very well. The mids aren't as loud as the highs and it doesn't have a full sound to it.
