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....head unit does not make 10 times better ...it does make it better...
it all depends on what HU to match to speaker..
for example...you get a HU rated at 45-52x4 no way in hell is that going to run some good speaker without a amp...unless it a really low rms...some pioneers (sp?) or crap like plye ect...
you need a amp to power your speaker if your going to invest in something good...ie. componets ect

as for sub....JL is way over priced...good spl and sq tho if you want to spend that money...

RF makes crap amps now....they are way over rated...they HX2 subs are pretty solid

their is tons of brand out there that will destroy JL
if you want spl try something like RE/XXX whoa do they hit only you will lose tons of SQ

DB drive is aslot a good brand for both spl/sq

anything with flames is not good....unless you dont care to much for music

infinity KAPPA's are really good on sq

MTX also has a fair share of spl/sq subs


for amp....i would look for a hifonics brutus...if your going to wire to 1 ohm

the list goes on......just all depends on how much money you want to spend and who builds it
