What is the Best part of your system?? and why ??
Is it your Awesome front speakers??
Your Amp ??
Your Neons that flash with the Beat ????
Your Sub that cost you more then 2-weeks Dole money ??
Is it All of it ??
I will go first ( Naturally)
================================================== ===================
Best part of my system would have to be my Subs and their enclosure
Why ???
1.My subs are rare and hard to find in Australia..
2. The enclosure I built with Care and time and looks unreal..
3, The Magnat XTC 1200's look mean and go as good as they look
4. Every person that has seen and heard my system compliments me on my Subs and their enclosure
5. The Blue neon really sets off my sub enclosure, making it stand out above all the other in my system...

My best part is the whole system.
Why? It's a stealthy system just as Tek's and is considerably inexpensive (thanks to the people I know :) )

The best part of my sound system is that when I rock up to parties, everyones pumping their systems and they all running Pioneer, Cadence, and JB HiFi cheap junk. Then I crank up my joint and I'm running brands that most Australians have never heard of.
Either that or the fact that I get so many looks of "you wanker, putting $4000 in a 1990 Magna"

dunno really... headunit is cool coz it's DVD/MP3/CD/MS all in one and its touch-screen whooo! (and looks almost factory)
front speakers are some of the clearest i've ever heard
sub amp is freekin massive! (and has cool digital display for temp, volt, amp etc)
capacitors will eventually have 8x4ga wires hanging out of the top... looks very tough :badgrin:

Rainbow Audio? Actually I think $4K wouldn't even buy a set of their top reference series of 3-way splits.

My deck, alpine 9835 - full control over 3 way crossover, slopes, speaker delays, 6 channel equaliser, lets me make it sound how I like :) retails for 1300 got it for 400 cause the guy buggered up the invoice and wrote 9835 instead of 9825 :bowrofl:

Nah nah, most people in the know on car audio would have heard of them, "Earthquake", but if I went to JB Hifi and asked every customer who was looking at products there, none of em would have heard of them, or Audison for that matter. Polk Momo even, Morel, hell, I doubt they'd have even heard of Hertz. Concept too, good subs the Concepts.

go my sub, Kicker L5 15'
also my neons that flash wif the beat are cool as well :D
Rainbow Audio's top of the range splits are friggin more like $10,000 RRP!!!!! :O
Brand-wise many just stick to the usual brands like Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine, etc. But brands which many haven't heard of are starting to break into the market such as Morel, Dynaudio, Focal, Audison, Hertz, Image Dynamics, Earthquake, Eton, Adire, RE, Digital Designs, etc (list goes on!). I just think car audio has really boomed in these last few years and now these brands are getting alot more common (and recognised).
But my rule of thumb is:-
SQ - Stick to euro brands
SPL - Stick to US brands

Don't be like that, mixing and matching ensure you have the best of both worlds. Plus if its a decent company it wouldn't matter where they are located, as long as they put the money in the design and not the advertising
hahaha, reminds me. I was contemplating whether to get 0 gauge cable at JB hifi. The dude asked me what I was running so far.
"umm, phoenix gold monoblock and 4ch amp" oh, and a DD2515....
he was like.... :shock: wtf? what kind of brands are those?! :rant:
Settled for 4 gauge...wish i got 0 tho :rant:

I would have to say active front stage has given me most control... But the Morels would add the most realism by far.
Oh and the shiny trophy.... ;)
Peace

Rofl I dont think you would buy high qualuty euro brand splits for SPL use or digital processors etc!!! :badgrin: Rule of thumb more aimed at subs & sub amps. And you're right nothing wrong with a bit of balance - hell I was running 2 x DD 9510s off an EQ D5 for SPL, but used Dyns 240GT off an Audison VRX 2.250 for the front stage (yummy SQ)! :)
What is the best part of my system? That is easy to answer; the sound. :)

hey magnat why do you name yourself after your sub?.
Originally I had a Full Magnat System, Everything but the Deck was Magnat, a Nice 6 channel Magnat Combat 6000 ( it was as Big as a Coffee table) Magnat Xtract 3-way 6x9's and Magnat Xtract 6.5 inch Splits and the Two Subs I have now,
All installed ina a 1987 LD Holden Astra Sedan , People could never remember my Name when I went Crusing, but would always remembered the Sound of my system so I got called Magnat , after the Gear in my ride, which always impressed all who saw and heard it... So the name has stuck...
Sadly when I sold my Astra, I sold it with Everything in it..
Now the place where I could get my Magnat Gear Sold up and left me high and Dry...

Nice... What battery?
Have to be my laptop. My current car has no HU, so we're using the laptop to play noise.
Odyssey PC1700 :/ Which is just plain overkill for my sound system now! :badgrin:

JB Sell Polk/Momo. I would have to say though that the Europeans are my kind of speakers, but goddamn those Americans make musclebound amps :D. I find it amusing when people buy everything from the one brand as IMHO there is no one brand that makes the best of everything.
