I'm going to put some 12" subs in my car. Which brands of subwoofers, amps and tweeters are known to be the best and carry a great warranty?
Car Audio, what do you think is the best?

I have boston acoustic pro series components. They are sweet. get them at an ultimate electronics or audio king and you can get an extended warranty cheap
Well you asked a very good ?
Now it is a matter of what you can afford, so I will give you a idea of excellent system would be.
MacIntosh all the way on the amps, deck (head) would be a product from Pioneer, but it would be the Premier
line, indash cd player with a remote for cd changer in the trunk. I would choose two 10" JBL pro line 600 watt
power handling, one would do in a pinch very easy as a
mono power amp, with electronic crossovers doing the
freq work. Then some mids and tweets depending on the kind of music you listen to. This is where a system becomes more personal for your choice. It must perform
best for you, not just some body to impress them with, although that comes with the territory. Boston Accoustics is a good brand and there is a company from germany that are famous for there mids and tweets. I can't recall them but they should be available at any great store for car audio.
I worked in the car audio business as the G. Manager
years ago, but take my word for it, $2,000 is just the starting price for a great system.
Good luck and shop carefully.

FIRST, here is a web site dedicated to car audio.you will find a wealth of information there.www.sounddomain.com www.termpro.com both are sites I frequent and there is so much information out there.JBL, I know you can do better than that and you do not need to spend $2,000 because what he didn't tell you is that you can save big bucks on line and many places are authorized dealers so you will get a warranty. a nice cd player , alpine $250, component set of speakers $150, 1 4 channel amp for mids and highs $200 , rear fill speakers $80, a class d sub amp very effecient = $400 2 12 inch subs with enclosure $350 bucks and you can run infinity perfect 12's which are a lot better than jbl or you can go with orion xtr series or rockford fosgates . GO and check out those sites and look at what is being used and on sounddomain you can go to member pages and type in the make and midel of your car and see how other people with the same car hooked up their system.Going to the circuit citys and stores like that is the BIGGEST RIPOFF AROUND AND THAT MANAGER WHO WROTE THAT POST KNOWS IT!!They have outrageous markups and you had better take a look at who is doing the install because just because he or her got a certificate to do it does not mean they know what the hell they are doing. Here is a online shop that has all the car audio stuff you could ever want. www.thezeb.com check them out and later I will post the sites that are good to deal . DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND IF A SHOP CANNOT SHOW YOU A PHOTO ALBUM OF CUSTOM WORK THEY HAVE DONE RUN OUT THE DOOR!! I will post that info later or send you a private email later today with all the spots , oh I forgot www.ubid has some very good deals and ebay so go and look and I will get with you later on.

listen to different system setups and determine what you like and how you want yours to sound...Then decide how much your willing to spend, and start shopping. once you find what you want decide how it's going to be installed
