Knowledge is Power
Probably over 10 years since I've posted here or done anything with Audio. The landscape seems to have changed quite a bit, companies that were producing some awesome products seem to now have only really cheap products (Soundstream I'm looking at you). Image Dynamics looks like they went under, then were revived and finally coughed out a 15" IDMAX. Regardless..
I just need to be pointed in the right direction of whats good these days. Going to be putting together a low power rather boring system in my Tacoma. Mostly looking for some recommendations on the following.
HU - Looks like the Pioneer 80prs is king right now, but I'm not looking for something with that granular of adjust ability. Need some recommendations on a double din, touch screen that has Bluetooth, USB, CD player and an Aux port on the front.
Fronts - 6.5" Components, just give me a few companies that are making good components these days. Last I used was CDT and they were pretty good.
Rears - 6.5 2 or 3 ways, I honestly don't really care about these. I usually buy something that's 100 bucks and it works fine.
Amp - Looking for a nice 600 - 800 Watt 5 Channel. I used to love the old Soundstream Tarantula amp that was 800/5 but those seems to have gone to cheap-o hell. So whats good for 5 channels these days?
Subs - I'll deal with these later but 2 10's that have less than 5" mounting depth.
Thanks for any help
