Best audio system
I want to get a full audio system in my car. Replace every speaker, new head unit, 2 10's, amp., and maybe a 6 disc cd changer. What would be the best company for these products. I want to make about 500-700 watts. Im looking for really good clear sound and good base. Thanks

Rainbow components all the way around, McIntosh Amps, alpine cda-7990 deck with PXA-H900 processor and a dha-s680 changer. you should be set.
and NO, profile amps are not any good.

profile sucks as much as jenson and koss....
my setup (courtisy of best buy, cause financing kicks ass):
- Kenwood 6 1/2" dualmag front stage (basiclly components, but they're not satalites ~$150)
- Kenwood 3-way 6x9's in the back stage ($50 open item
)
- Pioneer DEH6400 head unit w/ remote (nice deck, cool eye candy, $300)
- two Pioneer 12" subs ($120 or so for the pair, and they're not too bad)
- Bandpass box ($150 I think? Hits tight like 10's, but more bass than 10's
)
- Sony Explode amp ($200 and I hate it
)
Try not to buy cheap items, thats a lesson to learn. What you pay for is what you get.
my future plans are to get a new amp (maybe Rockford fosgate) and move the sony amp to my mids and highs.
and BTW, minus the small amount of rattle I need to remove, my system ownz, especially for the price I spent (which really isn't a whole lot, as far as moble audio goes).

I'll give you some suggestions on what speakers to use for front and back, I don't really know alot about subs and amps so ill leave that stuff to the experienced.
High priced suggestions:
MB quart psd 216 comps 6.5 inch up front- $215
Infinity kappa 3 way 6x9s in the back- $135
An amp with at least 75 watts rms going to each channel- Probably anywhere from $300-$500
Budget suggestions:
Infinity reference 605cs 6.5 inch comps- $105 (i use em on 17 watts rms and they kick arse!)
Infinity reference 6953i 6x9- $88 (I have these too and they hit pretty freakin hard for 6x9s, and give great highs)
An amp with at least 50 watts rms going to each channel- $100-$300
Oh and for the radio- If you like using mp3 cds go with the alpine cda-7894 (~$300), if you are more into regular cds and cdrw go with the Clarion ProAudio DXZ825- (~$220) (dual 24 bit DACs baby!!!!)
