[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8298155, member: 655960"] OG = original gangsta. I too am an OG who re entered the 12volt industry preofessionally last year after a ~2 decade absence. Sundown is a good brand and there are a lot of other very good brands out there. As a CT Sounds dealer, I would obviously recommend looking into that brand as well. As for Orion, not what it used to be and they're joined in that category by Phoenix Gold, Soundstream, Precision Power and a few others. Rockford Fosgate hasn't changed much... good amps, okay full range speakers and not worth it subs and, of course, they're as over priced as they've ever been. As for recommendations on a budget system, I would recommend that you spend more time and possibly even money, on prepping the listening environment and on designing and building the subwoofer enclosure. You can install the best speakers ever in doors that aren't deadened or in a box that's not right and the system will sound like shite. Likewise, you can install cheap, entry level components in a properly setup environment and get really nice (albeit not so loud) sound. [/QUOTE]
