[QUOTE="Arni, post: 159709, member: 546697"] "First thing to remember is that its not the driver that always makes the difference it is the quality of the instalation" What exactly do you mean by this? "boxes are to be designed around a driver" do u mean that I should first consider the ampl then select the speakers or opposite? "There are ceratain name brands that you should stay away from" I certainly would be interestend in knowing more here as I live in Iceland were there is a very limited number of brands to select from.
