What would be some great sounding compents.I'm way out dated on this.everything in my car is factory minus my hu and my six year old 3 way pioneer 6x9's.pioneer use to b my only choice but things aren't made the same anymore.

This is a very common question thread. You'll get a lot of opinions, but what sounds good to you might sound like crap to someone else. What's your budget? install can easily make a bigger difference than the actual speakers.

No budget at the moment.I will use this info in the future.gotta get the trunk finished first.plus I didn't see much on this topic,just subs.was hopin this would turn out to help others aswell.

Search the word "component" on this site, lots and lots of opinions. Not trying to be a jerk, but a lot good stuff is already out there.

Best way is to go to your local shops and listen to them in person, everybody has a listening preference. I prefer the laid back sound of a silk dome tweeter but you might like that in your face sound of a titanium tweeter.

That's how it is almost everywhere with almost every shop. Around my area here it's a lot of Planet Audio, Polk Audio, and an array of the cheaper brands. People's choices are only as good as their best educated guess it seems and in most cases that education isn't much more than what the salesman said or because that person knows somebody's buddy who's using that sub or speaker.

I've actually had guys demo their setup for me, telling me just how awesome it is as we walk out to it. Just to have a look of bewilderment on their face when I explain in as much detail as I can what I personally didn't like about it when I heard it and what I would've done differently. Then come back two weeks later asking how to make it better. I think they do it because after I attempt to educate them they start to REALLY listen to it and realize that something isn't right.

I am still working on learning how to read T/S params and tech specs and know how good that driver really is and what it's optimal use would be. Still learning how placement, axis orientation, and other installation issues affect the given response. Still learning what the good and bad compromises are for different goals. There's such an incredible amount to learn its really almost overwhelming. I would love to learn it all someday though realistically I know I'll only ever scratch the surface.

There's a wealth of information available on here and some guys on here with just as impressive backgrounds and knowledge in this hobby/field. Even with all that it still comes down to two things in my opinion. First is the most important thing, that only you know what sounds good to you. Second is that it all comes down to the installation. The cheapest speakers in an ideal installation have the potential to outperform in every way the most expensive speakers in the least ideal installation.

The IA's comps aren't bad, they sounded pretty good, really loud too.
