[QUOTE="Nori, post: 7663145, member: 639980"] Hi guys. I'm seeking suggestions about what products to buy for my specific needs. What I'm looking for is sound quality. Not looking for audiophile level and no preference for SPL/SQ direction, just something that sounds REALLY GOOD. Last time I've been in the car audio game was 12 years ago [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif[/IMG] I had a 10" Image Dynamics sub powered by a Rockford Fosgate Punch amp in a small hatchback. But I digress. Music that I listen to is mostly rock with some pop sprinkled in.
