I have dealt with a Lanzar deck. I am happy with it. It puts out a clean, strong signl and is easy to use. I have the "Stealth face".

I have also dealth with a Volfenhag 12". At low volumes it sounded good, but when you turn it up too high it starts to sound funny.

I do have to say that the brands you have listed at all lower end brands. There is a lot better out there for not much more money. If I were you I would reconsider these.

hahaha, these are all the so called "cheap" brands

I was going to get an SPL amp, but I got a deal on a Phoenix Gold amp instead.

The stats of the SPL Series III seem pretty good, but I havnt tried or heard them myself.

Good luck

visonik isnt cheap. their stuff looks good.

but I and many others would say spend the money and go for MB quart stuff. the reference series is pretty cheap. but they sound great. there subs are good too.

I need quality equipment, feel free to donate.

ironfistjohn ...it really depends on how much u want to spend ... good head unit will give u sound source too, coz the signal will given from the headunit and the speaker is only playing whatever the signal given......

i am pretty sure if u spend alittle more that, so you wont thinking of changing it again in another couple months (like i did need your opinion on a number of brands -- posted image. )

Panasonic, ALPINE, RF, and more.....

I would not recommend any of the brads above. What are you looking for and what is your budget?

panasonic is regarded as the poorest SQ deck out of the major brands first off...they sound like ass and are designed cheaply and poorly to have a million useless features and be flashy so that young kids and girls will buy them...

but since you are running audiobahn and aura, I guess sound quality isnt really in your vocabulary, or at least it has no relevance to you, so any of these low end budget brands will probably be just great...

for most people, the fact that they are poorly built and arent capable of doing what their ads claim may be a bit of a turnoff...

So harsh but yet so true. I've got a Panasonic deck in my wifes truck, it serves its purpose. Its a nice deck, BUT, sq wise, it sucks when compared to my Eclipse deck. Course you said for db drags so i guess sq doesnt fit in when you just want something louder than hell. But either way, have no experience with any of the names you listed so i cant bash them, well except for pyle, they've always sucked. Have heard mixed reviews on boss stuff, everything else no idea but around here, gonna see alot of people bash those brands so good luck!!
