      PPI Pro subs nothing else compares and I don't sell them. I do like ID subs though, good sq for the money, they don't sound like fartin' turds like most subs, I don't sell those either. Old PPI amps PC and art series, soundstream reference 405, old PG amps.:icon_rr:

        So...make it simple, what Scott is saying is: If it was made after 1998 or so, it doesn't hold a candle to what was made before then. I'd have to agree for the most part.

        My favorites aren't entirely based on products I sell, it's kinda the other way around in that the products I currently sell are based on my favorite equipment. I should add Memphis to my list of faves as well, great equipment, too bad I can't sell them in Fargo.

            Its because your too cheap to buy anything nice. Hell, look how long it took for you to buy a flat panel. I'll guarantee that still hurts your vag to have spent that much.

              no the only thing it hurts is that it'll take longer to save enough money for a swap...

              also, i dont really care about car audio, as long as i have something to listen too...

                Deck :
                No real fav. as i have only had 4 aftermarket decks. But i loved my old alpine i think 9827.

                Speakers:
                I love the new RE Audio speakers i got chuck would know the model number but they rock.

                subwoofer:
                I had some old MB Quart 10" subs back in 01' and they sounded good for what i used them for. They wouldn't win any sound comps but they would play all sorts of music fine, although they did struggle on some rap songs with poping.

                Amp:
                I think it a toss up between jl audio and zapco for me. Jl wins atm just based on it not dieing on me but zapco was a better price and pounded my little 10" thunder 4000 mtx. haha

                            For CD player I have always gone with Alpine...why? Usualy a good price with pretty good quality

                            For subs and speakers: Kicker... why? I bought kicker from a tent sale when i was younger and they have never broke and sound great
