June 18, 200817 yr are they still in business? I just read on SD that they went out...? if so thats a shamelong live the M16 http://www.alumapro.com/i have a local dealer and he's still getting new stuff all the time. I dont think they went under. the m16 was not even that great really, the Alchemy is what kicked ass for the money. I bought a used 10 for like 40 shipped off ebay and went wround and sold it for 200. awsome sub, even at 200.i ran a alumapro this year. i had it laying around after i sould my AQ 10 and dropped in the the Aq's old box and it sounded great. then i sold it to my cuzin. had like 700 watts on it too
September 15, 200816 yr 5 Memphis 12's on a hifonics 1000w amp brought my love of bass and music in general to life. All i know for now, my brothers car, not mine (i wish).
November 3, 200816 yr well hellfi-btl fully loadedrockford- t3000bdKnukonceptz- all electricalpioneer- cant ever go wrong with a pioneer HU
November 5, 200816 yr pioneer radios always had theme and they are awsome... thats why i sell at least 4 a day at workonly had kicker and mtx amps and they were pretty great. The MTX was a TA4501 500@ 2ohm ran it and 1 ohm never shut off or got hotkicker subs is all i had but i have a buddy with a 7500 series MTX that has been pushed to about four inches of excursion, and another guy i know put 6K on older 15 BTLand diamond M6 mids and hi gets pretty loud and sound damn good
March 26, 200916 yr Pioneer head units are the best I've ever had. I just love my second pr88rs !As a french, I must say Focal is wonderful, from low to high end speakers (I don't like their subs, though).I have just ordered a new sub here : 15" SSA Icon. Nobody seems to like this brand, wth ??!!!We are on SSA forum, and I don't see a lot of people talking about Sundown amps or sub, SSA,...I hope I won't be disappointed with my 15Icon!!!!!!!!!!*
April 8, 200916 yr I would have to say Digital Designs because im from Oklahoma and im friends with a lot of people that work there so i guess im a little bias but as far as amps go... Memphis and Fosgate and MTX elite

July 7, 200916 yr I'll go by items for this one.HU: From day 1 I've always loved Clarion (back in '92), my 1st HU was a Clarion 6770, my 2nd HU was a Clarion DRX9175L= stolen so I got my 3rd HU a Clarion DRX9375r. I sense aquirred a PG ZPA0.5 amp and needed a hotter signal and sense a friend of mine has always been an Eclipse fan (back in '92 as well, his 1st HU was the Eclipse ECD-415) my wife got me the Eclipse CD8455 for my birthday. So those are my top two choices for HUs.Speakers: The Dynaudio System 242 MKII were the best I've ever had. I've been through a lot of components and favs are, Dynaudio, Morel, PG, Focal, Clarion top line, and the older MB Quarts.Subs: First and formost, TREO. Hands down love em. PGs XMAX, XS, Ti Elite, and Cyclone, and Kickers round Solo-barics. Amps: Where to start??? My first amp was a Clarion APA4160. Loved it, ran it hard and it never faultered. Kickers ZR/ZX/XS amps. Very under rated and built to last. The winner has to go to Phoenix Gold though with their ZX/ZPA series amps. Even back to the M series. PG built them for pure raw SQ power. Love them so much today that I still run them. Processors: Audio Control for their top quality and features and PGs older stuff, ie the 215ix, EQ230/232, Basscube.......
