Everyone knows the big names in car audio... Alpine, Infinity, JL, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, etc. But what about the names that aren't so big like Pyle, Earthquake, and Pyramid? I know there are more. I want to know any experiences anyone has had with other brands of subs and amps so that I can find better speakers for the price. I hate having to pay more for a label.

Sometimes the label has engineering behind it that the no names can only dream about. It depends if you want to buy a great sub, a good sub, an OK sub, or a POS Wannabe sub. Any sub can work great if it is not abused. Any sub will fail if it is abused, regardless of label.

Sony's not bigger than Pyramid, is it?? ;)

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Well, you have others such as Dual, Clif Designs, Visonik, Quantum, Ample, etc... There are a few brands out there that DO build a decent sub or amp, and don't rake you over the coals to get them.

That can be true the other way as well. Unknown names in Subwoofers -- posted image.

can anyone suggest a good sub for a good price? I want to put a 15" and 2 x 12" subs in my brothers cherokee, the problem is that he has a limited budget and I can only help him so much.

What are you looking for? Are you looking for as loud as possible, or do you want it to sound good? Do you need something efficient, or do you have a lot of power available? Around how large of an enclosure do you want to use? If you can answer these questions, we can make some suggestions. But I will recomend not mixing different sizes like you have above.

you mentioned earthquake above. Any of us who have been around for a while knows damn well who earthquake is. They were a pretty big player a while back but have died down alot in the last couple years. If you can get earthquake in your price point and you want loud then earthquake is definatly worth a look

Stay away from Volfenhag, Lazar, Legacy, Boss,Sony,Pyramid etc. These companys make cheap subs, and even cheaper amps. You can find some good brand name subs at fairly low prices at http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/ Their are some good Kicker, Infinity, Rockford-Fosgate, MTX, MA Audio and Polk Audio subs on this site. I agree with Steven, dont mix sub sizes. Either go with two 12s or one 15, not both.
