This is just to c what everyone is thinking about speakers and brands...
I was hoping pplz could list who they believe is the best brand for amp/speaker/sub, just to give me an idea of where to look for quality/price.

Thanks

alpine best alrounder...

Dogo · 02-05-2007, 02:27 PM

give us a price range please

stock is best · 02-05-2007, 02:47 PM

ok ummm, about $1000 all up for those 3 things i guess i already have my head unit so i just need speakers etc..

nimrods86 · 02-05-2007, 02:56 PM

Pionneer, Decent value.

outbakoz · 02-05-2007, 06:22 PM

Clarion head units for sure

Speakers come down to personal listening taste - go to a sound board at jb hifi/strathfield/wherever and let your ears make the call on the speakers.

I have Kenwood splits in the front and they sound amazing, in the back I have Sony 2 ways and they're inefficent and sound like ****.

My sub is an older Pioneer running from an older 120w Alpine amp and it owns basically everything else I have heard that hasn't had large sums of money invested into it, my amp and sub only cost me 130 NZD. No one seems to be able to explain why it goes so well either.

bourbon · 03-05-2007, 01:03 PM

pioneer are only good if you dont wanna spend $$$

nimrods86 · 04-05-2007, 12:58 AM

that's precisley my point bourbs

bourbon · 04-05-2007, 10:09 AM

but my point is if ya got the money dont go pioneer...

nimrods86 · 04-05-2007, 11:28 AM

i certainly agree

FOX33N · 04-05-2007, 12:25 PM

ALPINE without a doubt.!

skitz · 04-05-2007, 02:24 PM

have u guys had a play with pioneers premier gear though leaves alpine type X gear for dead just good luck finding it in australia :P

i personally have had nothing but problems with alpine speakers and will never ever recomend them again but each to there own there cheap and give u good bang for buck...

but like when comparing matching price lines with alpine vs pioneer for quality etc

pioneer TS-C1625 VS alpine Type S
pioneer yellow cones VS alpine Type R
pioneer premier TS-C720PRS VS alpine Type X

i still think pioneer takes the cake personally ... but go for brands like polk etc u can pick them up in ur price range too just shop around man
cheers kyle

LYNX · 04-05-2007, 07:15 PM

pioneer is pretty good tho betta than sony and other brands

mike_d87 · 04-05-2007, 09:29 PM

i got some soundstream taranatula components a year ago but haven't actually put them in yet. Cost me $500 and they were a lot better than alpine type x. A fair bit of bass and reasonable clarity.

carlmuldal · 05-05-2007, 06:40 AM

JL Audio are ment to do good splits, and so do DLS, they are truly awesome if you get the refernece range and up. dunno fi you guys can get them cause there made in sweden..

we can still order stuff in

hahaha wheres the fun in buying of the shelf anyway:P hahahaha

most of my pheonix gold gear was ordered in, but only bad thing with that is u can only go by online reveiws. as not much chance of hearing before u buy.

bourbon · 05-05-2007, 09:32 AM

ahahaha i buy of the shelf...so far im running a full EPSILON system apart from my head unit...bot amps and my rear 6x9s are in the arachnid serries, but the splits and the subs are just alpha series...they have reccomended the "Precision Power DCX 124" subs for me to get competition class...but in doing that i will need to upgrade my head unit, and then possibly get another mono block amp...then ill shall be loud...

in bris its easy to get the epsilon gear cause its gold coast car sounds in house brand...but no where else does it...the amps are bloody powerful and look hot tooo...

zappy65 · 05-05-2007, 09:56 PM

i got the soundstream 6x9" and they are great with bass and clarity....you can also get the pioneer premier HU off ebay, my mate got his for $320 and its full of functions.
