If you have a different brand in mind then reply with that one.
here are some others that aren't listed.

sony
lightining audio
jensen
jvc
clarion
blaupunkt

MB quart (which i voted) are brilliant.. no disortion at all and the clarity is amazing!

Not to hot on car audio speakers although JBL do ten to be superb, haven't heard the Nakamichi car audio kit, if it's even close to their home audio or sound space range then I would pay a fortune for it.

I have the Soundspace 5 system (one of the smaller ones at www.nakamichi.com) and the sound quality is unbelievable, such a small system but I heard it at the same time as a comparable bose system and the nakamichi won hands down, 10 out of 10 for me.....

JL Audio or MB Quart without doubt!

Sub - JL Audio
2 Way Component Speakers - Infinity or MB Quart
2 Way Speakers - Alpine
6*9 Speakers - Alpine

why are there so many views to this post but only 4 votes?! come on people

best speakers in the world....

Focal utopia speakers...

if you havnt heard a full utopia system in a car, youve never heard a good system. they are amazing. but they do come with a price tag that you could buy a small carribean island with.

700 quid for some 6.5 components!!

Here's a list of the kit I had in my previous car (Rolla GTi)
1 x Alpine 3555 4 x 120watts amplifier
1 x Alpine 3550 4 x 70 watts Amplifier.
2 x JBL TC12 tweeters (on top of dash)
2 x JBL TC40 4" mids (in original Speaker positions)
2 x JBL Tm930 6" x 9" 3 way speakers (in custom built parcel shelf)
2 x JBL GTi 1200 watt 12" subs (in custom built enclosure in boot)
MB Quart 160qx 6" speakers (in custom built door pockets)
So I guess you know what I voted for

sorry DYNAUDIO make the best mobiltronics, but try find a supplier, in the UK

recently heard the Polk Audio Momo Components in an M3... my god are they crystal clear! not as puchy as you expect from £400ish, but damn clear at any volume... just what i want from my speakers really.... acoustic clarity comes before punch, thats what the sub is for...

Polk are good, as are Boston Acoustiks, and Rainbow

kenwoods electronics are very good i.e. their amps and headunits etc nut their speakers are w*nk.

I don't think much to their amps, but they do a good line of budget head units for those who want to stick an aftermarket CD player in for less than 100 notes.

Steve.

yeah i agree with steve,

they should have stuck to making food processors and the like as supposed to specialising in ICE. i dont rate Kenwood at all...

Diamond
Planet audio

I second that....
DynaAudio is sweeeeet.

When it comes down to it, stereos are only as good as their weakest component. The best speakers in the world sound bad through a lowsy system.

I like jbl, been around a long time. They make concert speakers and recording studio speakers. I don't own jbl car audio components yet. but when I do they will be jbl without a doubt. I do own a pair of control 5's and the sb5 sub from jbl and I love them. over 10 years and still sound great.

alpine all over

ooze quality

in my opinion anyway

I've got 2x JL 10w3's in the MR2 and 6 1/2 polk components.
A Phonex Gold amp and a BBG amp ..

Sounds awesome ..

I drive with alpine, koveaudio and usamps inside. And it sounds great !

I would say focal. Focal is a really nice but abit expensive and not many dealer around. It has been voted the speaker of the year.

Im a student on a budget so i say Sony Xplod rule all round.

+Excellent quality
+Looks great
+2/3 ways havent distorted once
+Simple wiring and setup
+Easy to fit in my car, very little DIY needed
+Red / Silver design goes with my car's blue/Black exterior/interior

Also they were the one of the cheapest brands around and when i bought it all i was very surprised at the price. £60 for my 2/3 ways (then £120 sub £160 amp £120 head unit but thats a kenwood )

Infinity! soon 2 b full infinity system bar head unit and amp
my amps a kenwood 1500w monoblock because it came up for £50 bargain

Lanzar speakers rule.

Genisis for amps and subs, Orion for components and 6*9s

Alpine or Pioneer for Head units unless you can afford nakachami or what ever they are called

Panzer

planning to fit some DSL speakers and amps to my corolla. sound quite clean, and separating.

VIBE they are mint

i bought DSL reference series MS6 speakers, fitted it on to my corollas front doors and i LOVE the sound, so clean that i were only dreaming about it before. Im more than happy for those.

Just gone JL again .. 10W3-V2 D4 sub .. easing it in over the next few weeks ..

Sony may not be the best 4 sound quality etc but they look the dogs!

So my vote is Sony!

Cheers

Diamond Audio Speakers are the king in my opion (Nice & Bright)!!




However it does depend on your interpretation of a good a speaker, which changes over time- at 17 a good speaker would produce as much bass as possible now a little older & wiser i prefer a more balanced and a true reproduction of the orginal recording

I have been using Kenwood equipment for 2 years now and i am sick and tired of all the badmouthing. Kenwood's recievers were the only ones who could play my test cd (a dented and used up cdrw full of sessions and files of the worst mix) when mp3 players appeared, while today i am enjoying the safety of the fpmask w/o having to remove the faceplate every time i park the my car. An old 4-channel kenwood amp that was way underrated got replaced with a brand new 500w rms powerhouse, which awaits an exchange for a new excelon series amp.

As for the '****' speakers, you might want to check out the PSR series which are second to none, and db type subwoofers are the loudest and stiffest, period.

Headunits:
1. Alpine
2. Kenwood

Speakers:
1. JBL (from what I have heard the world over)
2. Alpine

Subwoofers/Amps:
1. Rockford Fosgate [Fantastic look, Fantastic Tight Bass, and Good Price Tag ]
Um.. no 2.

That Headunit is 100% FACT. Sorry but those 2 make the best of the best. I read it everywhere.

Speakers Im goin from what I have read.

Subwoofers, well they rock.

The outcome will never be that brand 'X' is the best for different reasons. Mainly because of personal taste. Also the setup you need varies with the sort of music you like listen. If you listen to Dance, Trance, etc. you want completly different things from your soundsystem then someone who wants to listen to Rock music or Metal.

One other thing is that you should see things in perspective (price/quality).

As for my I have the following setup:

Headunit: [url="http://www.alpine-europe.com/alpine/english/p275.products_head-units_cda-9835r_cd---mp3---wma-receiver---changer-controller.htm"]Alpine CDA-9835R[/url]
Changer:[url="http://www.alpine-europe.com/alpine/english/p366.products_cd-and-dvd-changer_cha-s634_6-disc-cd---mp3-changer.htm"]Alpine CHA-S634[/url]

Front Speakers: [url="http://www.focal-fr.com/fr/car/k2power/165k3p.htm"]Focal 165K3P[/url]
Rear Speakers: [url="http://www.focal-fr.com/fr/car/k2power/165k2p.htm"]Focal 165K2P[/url]
Sub (full enclosure): [url="http://www.focal-fr.com/fr/car/k2power/33kx.htm"]33KX[/url]

Amp Front/Rear: [url="http://www.signat.at/Produkte/Verstaerker/Rocmkii/rocmkii.htm"]Signat ROC 1 MK II[/url]
Amp Sub: [url="http://www.signat.de/signat-shop.htm"]Signat Fury 600[/url]

All wiring (speaker and signal) is by Tara Labs fully shielded (signal) and speakercable is 2,5mm2 front and rear and 4mm2 for the sub (99,999999 pure copper core).

So this is how I like it (Btw I listen to (melodic)rock, Metal such as Dreamtheater, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Roger Waters, Sammy Hagar. But occasionally I also listen to DJ Tiesto, Chicane, Arman van Helden.

You havn't listed Focal speakers... they are the dogs balls!
A tad pricey though!

[quote]they are the dogs balls![/quote]

Yup! Can't beat Focal! Get them from France- as they are a french make, they are about half price

Got Focal front components and 6x9's and they sound awesome at all volumes. Currently have a panasonic amp, which is pretty good tbh but will upgrade to a alpine V12 range soonish.

I have atm a pionner sub and monoblock amp that my step dad gave me BUT on the way is a 2005 Alpine Type-R 12" sub with an Alpine MRD-M605 amp which should sound sweet

Also running focal Components in the doors of my tubby, can't fault them,

also
2 x alpine V12 amps
2 x kenwood 10" subs in custom boxes behind the seats,

Pretty impressed with the sound

get blaupunkt on there!

HERTZ, a very good brand, German or Italian, but really good!

Vibe for speakers and amps, and Kicker for subs. Pioneer for head units.

I notice theyre not on the poll though. Two of the best makes available if you ask me.

I've got to disagree with all the choice's and say Focal

rainbow slc 265's running on audio art old school amp.

JBL's are pretty good.

Fusion is the best imo

i am running Helix and Brax with a little bit of Image Dynamics and loving them

I am very fond of Sinus Live.
They might not be the best, but you get outstanding value for money, and their aftersales-service is tremendous !!!

A nice set of speakers and audio equipment can be found at....

[url="http://www.theloudest.co.uk/?sectionid=2&page=view_product&product_id=83"]The Loudest[/url]

I have had a few of these sets in my cars now are excellent. The speakers can be used as Coaxial or components and the clarity is excellent and the amount of bass they give is superb.

Matt

Hertz & Audison, Italian Hi Def.
No doubt about that
