JL Audio ~Keep'em IF you can sell em
Reason~ Reasons stated well known name with really good rep, and for those who want to show off how much their system cost
Pioneer ~Keep'em
Reason~ solid budget equip also well known and makes some good stuff too
Kenwood~Drop'em
Reason~ No need to keep with Pioneer/Alpine/Kicker/Clarion budget equip
TMA ~Keep'em ~Drop'em
Reason~ I have no experience with this brand (actually first time I have heard of them)
Clarion ~Keep'em
Reason~ Never personally used them but never heard anything good and always seemed to have great features for the price on the HU's
Kicker ~Keep'em
Reason~ nearly everyone has heard of Kicker, specially the subs and compared to others may seem like a good middle of the road price point
RE Audio ~Keep'em
Reason~ Large variety of subs, something for everyone and something different than what everyone has
US Amps ~Keep'em ~Drop'em
Reason~ I like their high end stuff Merlin/AX but would take a kicker or Alpine over theur XT line
Dual ~Drop'em
Reason~ Get Jensen instead, good to have a low end brand for those looking to play DVD's or MP3's and don't care the other specs
Alpine ~Keep'em
Reason~ Love their HU's and seem to offer good speakers/comps and subs
Dynamat ~Keep'em ~Drop'em
Reason~Tough choice, people really know dynamat over other stuff, but if you can swap with SecondSkin and show people how much they save and how similar it is then definitly drop dynamat
Now Should I Pick them Up?
Morel ~Yes
Reason~ High end stuff, and will set you apart from the general places Best Buy, Circuit City,
Crutchfield where many of the noobies will be looking
Genisis ~No
Reason~ Not too much experience with them, I know really good stuff but honestly thinking a little over the top for the average car audio shop.
Arc Audio ~Yes
Reason~ Good higher end amps, and again different for the easy to find mainstream brands
Image Dynamics ~Yes
Reason~ Great subs, awsome SQ for those who are looking for the best
Second Skin ~Yes
Reason~ If you can sell it over the name of Dynamat, show cost saving and should be good
Memphis ~No
Reason~ Most all the places around me carry Memphis, its pretty much the same as Kicker just Kicker is more well known I would say you could interchange Memphis/Kicker but I would stick with Kicker
