Car Audio Newbee

Just a note about speakers. My favorites were Focals(expensive JMLABS) and MBQuart. Component(separate tweet and mid) give you quality and flexibility usually. They even make tube amps for cars--Butler Audio. Infinity seemed too tame to me. Boston Acoutics were etched. Of course any speakers are definitely personal preference. Heard good things about Pioneer Premier line as far as electronics go. Also Eclipse. Good luck Dan

I can also vouch for the Focal & MBQuart speakers as many of my friends had them...the Bostons I had in my boat were the Pro Series (seperate mid/tweet)...and I have also had their plate speakers in another car...their high end stuff definitely sounded better than the plates which as Dlr states were etched. My infinity's...that was just in the beginning and as Dlr also says...too tame. The Polks were by far the worst to my ears...OUCH!

this was also all 8+ years ago...so my answers may be completely outdated.

Hey just get the new tube player from Panasonic, and then throw in the Eminent Technology car speakers and your new listening room will be your garage lol!
I just pray your sweet spot isnt on top the gear shift, can I get an ouuuuuuuuuch brutha?

Chad...you're one funny mo fo

Ok, that's wild, they really do make a car speaker at ET!!! I don't know how much I would like it though. To me their main speakers are a poor man's Innersound. Not that they are bad, you can get them cheaply, but just not my cup of tee. There is some guy on here who ever post tells someone to use them, I think he's a stock holder.

Anyway, here's what I think I am going to do:

Alpine IVA D300 head unit
Alpine NVE N852a Navigation unit
Alpine MRV - F540 4 channel amp
Infinity Kappa 682.7 CF 6 x 8 speakers (replacements, keeping some other speakers in the car)
Bazooka 10" 200w powered sub?

How's that sound?? May add a disc changer, but I usually go one disc at a time any way or add attach my iPod
