What up. I finally have money to get a new system since I had mine jacked back in August. Got a couple of problems though.

The deck I want to go with is the Kenwood KDC-MP735U, but looking around for reviews online I couldn't find any. So don't know if anyone can help me out with that or speak from personal experience possibly.

Secondly, I'm looking for some 6"x9"s & some speakers for the doors of my 94 Honda Accord Coupe. Money really isn't the issue, but knowing how important it is to have a limit, I'd spend $150-$200 for the 6"x9"s and the same $100-$150 for the side panel speakers. Preferably I would like a name brand.

I've heard a lot about infinity speakers, but I'm not too familiar with them. So my question is in order what brands are good for their performance and quality that way I can somewhat narrow my search.

<U>Example:</U>
1.
2.
3.
4.

Also I'm looking for some subs, so basically apply the same questions of what subs are good for their performance and quality? For this I would spend like $300 for the subs.

Weight isn't an issue, I just want to make sure everything hits clean and sounds clean.

Lastly, I'm from the Los Angeles area. Does anyone know of any sports where I can check out some audio equipment in person other then the major stores like Circuitcity or Bestbuy. If you guys need more specifics let me know and I'll put them up.

 

what would be a brand that you like. I see your in the la area, stay away from 11st in downtown

 

Ya I know, I wasn't planning on going there. Doing some more research on the deck I noticed that the one I was planning to get was actually pretty shitty, so now i'm leaning towards the Alpine CDA-9885.

But in terms of a name brand . . .

Regular Speakers: Alpine, Infinity, Sony, and anything else I might be missing.

For Subs I was thinking Alpine but just reading what some people have wrote on here they say that they are heavy and you don't get your money's worth. Is this true?

Doing furthur research on Honda-tech I read that image dynamics would be good for subs. This true and is there anything else people would recommend for power. For subs my limit for both would be 300-350

i'd stay away from sony, they're horrible. you can't go wrong with ID for a sub but you may want to also look into their components. personally i dont like alpine or infinity for speakers.

 

sony way too tinny
for interior speakers you kind of have to hear them for yourself because some fronts have different materials in their makeup that make them sound different. some tweeters have a silk dome and some have a aluminum dome. usually the silk domes are a little bit smoother and less tinny than those made of aluminum or another metal material. but definitely don't skimp on your front stage. alpine's and infinity's are ok but there are better to be had. i always liked diamonds and bostons but that's just me.

subs are a little bit different.
i always liked jl audio's subs. especially the w7s. you could throw gobs of power at them and they just laugh at it... asking for more.
