What about mtx or mitek. I know a lot of people wouldnt agree with me but i feel that they are definatley a top notch contender
1 12" mtx 9500 4ohm dvc 1 8100d and 1 1501d almost loud enough to cover the sounds of my car dying.

I feel this is a tough poll. Personally its hard to pick one overall best. I like Alpine head units as many do but I think their speakers lack, MB quart and Focal make some of the best speakers but dont make good head units if any, It seems that there should be some way to break it down. hard to vote on just one best.

I like MTX's amp's, let me clarify that only the Thunder Elite and Thunder series, but their speakers have never sounded that good to me.  I've sat in the Cobalt (an assload of of Thunder coaxials and 8 10" Thunder 8500's with 2 1004's and 2 or 4 1500's sorry can't remember) and it's wasn't very impressive at all.  My Civic would blow the doors off it on it's worst day with half the power, half the equipment , and no 240 volt power supply.  So, amps yes, speakers, no except for the 9500 subs...

I have two of the 9500s 12s in my grandprix with an mtx8100d on each one i also have mtx 6'5 components in my door and mtx 6'9s in my rear deck. I use to have all infinity in my car. Its just my opinion but i think the mtxs sound much beter than the infinitys did. Maybe the install on the cobalt wasnt done very well. Was that the only mtx system that you have heard? Im not tryn to say anything negative but a bad install can make top end stuff sound like jensen.

Hmmm....good point, I can't say I've heard many full MTX systems but if they sounded good enough for you to replace your Infiniti's that says alot.  But as far as the Cobalt what threw me off about it the most was that it was one of there demo cars.... I mean dont get me wrong the install and the car itself were beautiful but as for the sound it was lackluster to me.  The highs were pretty harsh and for 8 tens it didn't do it for me.  Honestly I have installed full MTX systems that sounded much better than that.  As far as being top notch I can give them the nod to that because theie good stuff is indestructable and will never die (unless you're an Ultra Idiot os something) egardless of how hard you push it.

I would vote Rainbow for my mid's and high. Focal is nice, too, but they don't have as many different series, thus options, as rainbow. I am saving up for some Rainbow's right now, just trying to decide which ones. I voted Eclipse, however. Even though I don't own anything besides a 88120dvc 12" aluminum sub, they have a very wide ranging and quality line of products. If was going to do a DVD system in my far I would undoubtably do eclipse and their mids and highs are good to very good. Their amps I'm not too familiar with, but I know they put out some pretty strong amps back in the day.

I think you should have seperated it by ,best Head unit ,Best amps ,Best subwoofers and best speakers,It was hard to just pick one ,because I like certain amps and woofers ,but I like different componet speakers,and different Head units.just IMO.
