What are the TOP speaker brands out there?

[AcidicDreams 10+ year member]

I will listen to what you all have to say...but I do want it to be extremely loud... as well with good quality... thats why im aiming for more speakers... and the 6x9's not underneath the seat... but on the right side where I would have a clutch if i had one(i dont its auto)

Adding more comp sets isn't going to help.. learning how to install properly is going to make the most difference

and at the end of the day you'll just end up going deaf... You can get VERY!!! loud with one comp set and a pair of subs... that is all you need

My setup is comprised of a single 12" sub plus my smaller speakers.

I'd wager, since you seem to place immense importance on "loud", that what I have currently is both louder and cleaner-sounding than that monster-sized migrane you're calling a stereo.

There are people on this forum with less than I have that are likely even louder.

"More" does not always equate to "louder." While certainly it can....proper implementation is key and this is the bit I think you need more than a fraction of education towards. Not trying to bag on you, fella, but most of us here were novices once too. We have since learned a bit. You'll learn as well ~ but you apparently have more than a few preconceived notions about what this hobby is all about and methinks you don't know quite so much as you'd like to think you do.

This is one example of a component set. This one incorporates a woofer usually 4" to 6 1/2" and a tweeter. The other thing you see there is a passive crossover they are used to separate the frequencies so you only get "highs" to the tweeter and "mids" to the woofer. These are usually superior to coaxials in both power handling and sound quality.

My 12" sub retailed for under $400, could be had for far less on places like eBay and such, and gets fed with around 600 watts RMS (though it will take more safely).

While $300+ for a single sub may seem like heaps to some that aren't quite so initiated in the hobby in car audio moreso than in other things the saying "You get what you pay for" really holds true.

EDIT: Matter of fact, here's one that is an equivilent (same driver, newer model number) of what I use for under $200/shipped
