if any of you want to throw in some info about your fave brands, let others know, i cant tell you how many posts i have in other forums for audio help! if you have any questions about what does what, how to hook what to what, and so on....i'm 100% to doing what i can to make this a great place to learn some sheeeite!

i dont know everything there is to know about this, but i do produce, play and mix music for a living, and managed a couple of custom shops here in dallas a few years ago, and have a good understanding of frequencies, and all that technical jargon......and would love to learn more, and help anyone who is struggling with something.

rock n roll :rockon:

What not a kenwood fan? Haha I agree with everything you have posted here those are by far the top brands, but I would also add kenwood into the mix. I am a huge fan of kenwood cd players and amps.

ya know man, i've never owned a kenwood. i think the excelon stuff is good....i've just heard mixed feelings about them. im sure they have some great products!

these are just my personal faves.

I have a Kenwood receiver that I bought about 6 years ago and after 1 year it popped a resistor. I had a friend of a friend "fix" it for me...it worked for day or two and then quit again. Since my then future wife was pregnant at that time I haven't had the cash to get it fixed by someone that knew what they were doing. But I loved it while I had it. I'm not big on car audio though. I've always heard Kenwoods are good unless you are putting a serious system in. But for my purpose they are good, as long as they can hold up.
