as for the other stuff, i never really used them so i can't tell ya. but as far as headunits.

PIONEER all the way. oh there older cd changer is awsome too. i was hitting in the mid 150's and my cd changer is right next to my box and there is no skipping from that either Pioneer vs Kenwood - Page 2 -- posted image.

I know 2 people with Pioneer subs, and they perform pretty well, especially for the price.

One pioneer 10" in a ported box is surprisingly loud in a Windstar and fills it with some decent bass.

The other guy has (3) 12"s in a Jetta and can be heard across town, and I've never heard of either guy having problems. I live in Canada so the cold weather can be rough on some subs, but these have held up.

I have pioneer 6x9s in my car replacing the factory speakers, they sound really good but don't produce much bass at all, even for 6x9s.

Hope this helps, good luck man.

Personally I like Pioneer for headunits. In terms of speakers, I wouldn't buy any of theres. Amps, same thing, dont buy. If I had to chose subs, I'd personally go with kenwood, but there are better companies.

check out kicker comp and comp vr subs, if u are on a budget, they are excellent subs.

also the older d-series kicker solobarics are sweet.

I have a pionerr 4600 and haven't had a minutes problem with it. Their head untis have always ben awesome to me, and it's all i've ever owned. Their subs, ehh, some are pretty good. The speakers--my cousin owns a pair of 5x7's and they soun really good. The amps, yes run far far away. To the Planet Audio store in fact. There's you an amp.

Hmmmm, while I believe the pioneer amps are lacking, I have absolutly no faith in Planet Audio as well. I had nothing but bad luck and have talked to more people with bad luck than with good when it comes to that brand.
