[QUOTE="THRobinson, post: 8857488, member: 652195"] I was looking at other brands... Infinity was recommended, which were too much so was looking at the much cheaper RF's. :) I think the issue I have with the lesser-known-brands, is, what's to research? Often no information to be found, and many of those brands really fudge the specs, so often the numbers can't be trusted. At least with stuff like RF, Kenwood, Pioneer, etc... you can find some ratings and reviews. Can't say I've ever heard of SoundQubed. As mentioned, I'm in Canada, so brands like that aren't really sold here so, by the time I buy from the USA, they cost as much as the RF's. Used and refurbs I have no issues with. My '02 Impala, speakers also sounded like being muffled so bought Sony XPlod refurbs, 6x9" 3way for the back, and 6.5" components for the front, added the tweeters in the door but up near the mirror. Loved the sound of that car. Probably not the best speakers, but I've always liked Sony products and they sounded good to me. My '03 Ram, I think has factory Infinity speakers. Sounds great. Kinda bummed that the 2010 GMC's "premium" sound system option is as bad as the ACDelco's in my '02 Impala. Was expecting them to be as good as the Dodge Ram or better. My biggest problem aside from cost, is the ohms... 3 here, 4 there, 6 elsewhere. Finding used/refurbs is one thing, matching the size and ohms and finding brands/models that you want, well... could be waiting a long time, could show up online tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
