Wanna build a system - are brand name parts REALLY worth the cost?

[QUOTE="RedlineAccord, post: 2292371, member: 571503"] Ok, a few things. I'm not an expert, but I do know that you do NOT mix sub sizes. If you want 2 12's, or 2 15's, or just one 18, do it. Don't start mixing 2 of one, and 1 of another size. It has to do with the sound waves and frequencies each sub could produce I believe. I'm sure someone else could explain it better. As for JL, they are quality stuff, and no way in hell do they carry a ton of "crappy" subs. They ARE expensive though. Really good SQ subs. As for the system... 500 dollars won't even get you all the subs you want, whether you're looking top end or low end. I would wait and save up for something decent or you'll end up like I did (I've gone from lightning audio 10's, to rockford P1's, to JL 10w3's, and just a single rockford 15" t1 now). Its expensive going through different setups. Save up now and do the right thing, and get a decent brand. You can ask around here and get a system that isn't the everyday best buy shit for cheaper than they sell their car audio. To a point you do pay for quality. [/QUOTE]
