Does anyone remember SHOCKER AUDIO subs? They were sloppy and heavy, but they were a hell of a spl speaker! They were manufactured in here in OHIO ! I would love to get my hands on a couple of there 12's...

Any opinion on MB Quart Premium series subs? I had MBQ coax speakers in a Jeep Wrangler about 10 years ago and was very impressed (not sure what model). But, I understand MBQ got bought out by Rockford and then again by Maxxsonics. Not sure if these take-vers had a negative (or positive) effect on the product.

The MBQ Premiums look good (from what I can decifer of the specs), but cost a little more than the Alpine type R's. But, the Alpines have a sensitivity of 87 versus 85 for the MBQ Premiums. I'm more interested in SQ.

Also, I tech rep at OCS told me that MBQ and Hifonics amps are the same (since their made by the same company, Maxxsonics) but I find this hard to believe. They may have the same parent company, but I'd imagine there are still differences between the two product lines.

Opinions please???

JL AUDIO , for clean clear sound.

Massive Audio for breaking WINDOWS. LOL

Boston acoustics components.

Pioneer Premier Headunits.

Stinger Wires.

Optima Batterys

Is there a such thing as a single favorite brand? I LIKE IT ALL!

Such a hard decision....

Regarding main speakers, any opinion on MB Quart and Alpine?

I had MBQ coax before (about 10 years ago) and really liked them. I've heard Bostons are the best but have never heard them myself. And there seem to be a lot of people that swear by going Alpine all the way. I'm considering all three.

It's a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse ... 6.5" round front and 6x9 rear. I'll go with components up front and coax in the rear (although it looks like BA doesn't make 6x9's). It's looking like I'll be using two Alpine type R's (or something comparable) for the subs.

I fell in love with my alpine radio so much that have it installed along with a Jensen multimedia radio. The Alpine's sound quality is the best sound of any other radio without and external processor.

I can't belive Fosgate has such a low rating. I don't use alpine head units anymore. They sound clean but, nothing beats a Pioneer deck. (avic-z2) RF everything else for me though. Poll: Favorite Car Audio Brand, Updated - Page 13 -- posted image.
