I know not many SQ competitors use 15"s... I'm not a competitor. I just want my system to have loud and clear. So it's an overall pretty good system. Sounds good.

The comps I am getting are Rainbow SLC series. Their suppose to be really nice, on Rainbow's website it says these comps are used in many SQ competions. So we will see how good they are, does the rest of my system seem alright?

It looks like I will be getting a set of Rainbow comps now. Thanks guys. So will my system be pretty good?

What would you guys recommend for components? I have been told I need to change my components because they are not very good. What would you recommend? I want something that is going to be the best bang for my buck.

Ok thats what I was figuring. I was just curious. So the Orion amp is probably my best bet. What about my comps... CDT ef61? Are they any good or should I get something better? I listen to a bunch of different music, everything from rap and hip-hop to country and classic rock.

Where would be the cheapest place to get Arc Audio amps or a US Amp? I am just curious because I have heard tons of good things about those companies.

Ok let me run my entire system by you guys and you tell me if I can do better in a certain category or not. Remember my entire budget is $1500, that does not include box supplies and wiring. Pioneer Premier DEH-P860MP- $330 (2) 15" Resonant Engineering SE- $430 for two. Orion 1200D- $355 Orion 4004- $155 CDT "ef" component set- $150 What are a good set of coaxials for me to put in the rear doors of my Explorer? Thanks for all of your guys' help. Kyle

Thats what I was going to ask... If those Power Acoustik's were any good. Would they be better than Orion 1200D or a Directed Audio one? Or even a Hifonics. These all look like budgets amps and thats what I am on, but I want high quality equipment so I will not have to upgrade it next year or whenever. Does that make sense?

Alright Thanks. I will keep those options in mind. What amp would you use to power two 15" SEs though? I need a 1200 watt amp to go at 1 ohm.

RE Comps are $165. Is that too much and could I get better for that same price? I went bought those, I would still need to buy a mono amp and a matching 2 channel.

For one, I am kinda set on getting the RE. They seem to have great customer service, because everytime I have e-mailed them, they have replied right away. And I am pretty well set on the Pioneer headunit as well. So I have $740 left to spend on two amps and a set of comps. What do you guys suggest with that price range?

I just don't really trust it. I feel more secure buying from an online store or something thats all.

Oh and also, I wanted to stay with the same brand amps for my comps and subs if possible. Will the Refurb item have scratches and dents and all kinds of crap on it? I mean if I am still going to pay 250 dollars for the amp, I could get a brand new of something else for the same price. If I bought the RE subs and the Pioneer headunit, I would have $740 left to spend on a mono amp for subs, a set of comps, and a 2 channel amp for the comps. What would you guys recommend me sink my money into. I am looking for good quality stuff so I won't have to upgrade something next year or so. Does that make sense? Edit: One more thing, I would rather not buy from e-bay. I will be buying everything online, just not e-bay. Thanks, Kyle

Would you guys ever buy a Refurb Orion amp? There is one for sale on Ikesound.com and it is for pretty cheap. It's the 1200D amp. I don't really know if I trust Refurbed items thats why I ask. Also, how do the RE SEs compare to the SoundSplinter subs?

I'm don't really want to buy used. I was looking at getting the Pioneer Premier 860 and a set of 15" Resonant Engineering SE subwoofers. What amp would you guys use to power them? I don't want some cheapo amp, so keep that in mind.

I am looking into buying two 15" subs, a nice decent headunit, an amp to power the subs, a set of components for the front and an amp to power the components. What would you guys recommend for all of that. I have no more than $1500 to work with and I would like to stay under that price. I want the equipment to be nice high quality equipment, but still staying under that price. Thanks, Kyle
