[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8452709, member: 614752"] IDK what you mean about "generic touchscreen" but if you mean one of those no name Chinese brands you should avoid at all costs. They'll perform poorly and fail quickly. Stick to Kenwood, Alpine, Pioneer, or even Jensen or JVC for budget brands that are at least worth the money. HCCA subs are OK, but the 3000W rating is pretty optimistic and in the past replacement cone assemblies have been difficult or impossible to find or outrageously priced. Otherwise they work pretty well if you don't plan to abuse things. Power Akoustic is also garbage. If a company has to lie that their 1200W amp makes 5000W how much self respect do you think they have overall about offering a good quality product? Take whatever amp budget you have and invest in something of decent quality. It'll perform well, be reliable, and hold some resale value down the road if you decide you really do need more or just get out of it altogether. AFAIK Odesy batteries are the same guts as Sears Die Hard Platinum (which has an impressive 5 year warranty) so you might switch there if you still can. Lastly most higher end modern subwoofers are designed to perform best in ported box. You'll do well to consider doing a ported box if you have the extra space. [/QUOTE]
