[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8273374, member: 658055"] At first I thought you were trolling. Being new to the game and having only used two brands I have little to say. I get the feeling Kenwood is decent for low budget builds. I've had no problem with their amps and their component speakers sound great to me, but as their expensive stuff is under $250, I don't think most of the enthusiast types would even look at them. Rockford Fosgate's amps and subs perform admirably, but if I didn't get lucky on Craiglist I would've never considered them because their stuff gets pricey because of the name. You could probably do much better with the same money elsewhere. Similarly, I have a friend who has a JL Audio setup purchased and installed locally. He paid an absurd amount for his gear and the install, but that's partly JL's high prices and partly the shop. I think the general consensus with JL Audio is that even though you get quality, you pay dearly for it. [/QUOTE]
