[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8648416, member: 675210"] From the day I walked into Columbus Car Audio in Columbus Ohio way back in 1990 and stepped into the room with all the subwoofers in it, I was hooked. The guy let me listen to two iconic 10" subs - The Kicker Comp 10's. Not long after that I was in a buddies Fox Body Mustang and it was the loudest thing I had ever heard. 4 Punch 12's in the hatch with a Punch 150 on each sub. Some time later I moved back to Clearwater Florida and car stereo shops dotted the landscape. Two of my favorite shops were Stereorama and CarTunes. It was at Stereorama where I began to lean towards the overall sound of the system. At the time, JL Audio and Focal were the main items sold there. I was told to listen to two component sets and tell the guy which I thought sounded best. As weird as it sounds, the Focal 5 1/4" components got better midbass while the JL 6 1/2" components with their silk domes sounded smoother. This is also where I fell in love with JL subs. At CarTunes I was just awestruck at the early 90's white Corvette demo car LOADED with PPI everything. My roots have been firm from the beginning with Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, Focal, JL, Zapco, PPI, Soundstream, and MB Quart. Back in the day, (90's) you couldn't really go wrong with any of them. Well, times change, companies sell out, sometimes quality turns to crap and here we are. So, over two decades later and I have to ask... What is SQ these days? What is/are considered to be the best way(s) to go as far as speakers and amplifiers for sound quality? Just the speakers and amplifiers please. Prep, installation, enclosures, sound deadening and tweaking should be considered a given. [/QUOTE]
