Hi.

I'm new here but I was just wondering what everyone's favorite HU, amp, and sub manufacturers were. My favotire HU is Alpine and I'm Rockford Fosgate fan for amps and subs, but apparently no one else likes Rockford anymore. posted_image

Eclipse or Nakamichi decks. Arc, Zapco, Mcintosh, Genisis are interesting, and Nak amps. Subs...I don't know, Image, JL, just a few I have experience with.

What about speakers?

Good call. Let's add that to the list too. I'm also a Rockford fan for those too. I only have 6x9's. I like it though because I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus and it comes stock with 2 rear 6x9's and 2 6x9's in the front doors too.

I like alot of brands. Even brands that most think are junk. but by far I like Alpine hu's. U.S. Amps, and JL subs and comps and full range speakers.

I am an Eclipse, Nak, Zapco, McIntosh kind of guy... The Eclipse stuff is EXCELLENT for the money, the Zapco is probably the best of all I have mentioned. I have to qualify the Nak statement: It's gotta be OLD SCHOOL Nak, the new stuff ain't so great - expensive Alpine, really.

Eclipse Heads
Zapco Amps
Eclipse Subs
Focal or Morel separates

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

That's likely to get you a restraining order if taken seriously. posted_image

This thread got hijacked quite quickly. Anyway back on topic, see sig for what I happen to like. Plenty of other good stuff out there too, I'm just a bit too poor to dabble in the likes of Zapco and such.

i have to ageree with eclipse. it's top shelf stuff. the shop i install at deals kicker, and, imo, it's tough to find a better value for the money. the comps are the best subs i've heard for under $100. hell under $200 for that matter. i also like their amps and speakers. there are alot of amazing products out there, so keep looking to find what you like
