Best Audio Brands?
What is are considered to be best brands for head units and speakers. I am looking for speakers for the front and back that can have some decent bass output. I don't want any subs due to the cost and added weight. Thanks for any helpful responses.

Best head for the money PERIOD- Nak cd45z (300 or less), alpine 7909, alpine (from auth dealer not the rejects at CC/BB), clarion pro audio line, pioneer higher end modles
Speakers- I like morel the best, Old black diamond hex,Dynaudio (good luck fitting them),Image dynamics Chameleon (260 online),DEI studio (budget), Boston z series (awesome but 1K)
I am like you not running subs for weight purposes but have excellent results from Image dynamics Chameleon 6.5" in the back deck as subs. JL 6.5" W0s are a true sub that I have found very good in a lot of sound quality applications (fit OK in the back deck)

My Favorites are Boston, Diamond Audio Hex and Oz audio for really great speakers for a decent price, (under 600$) A/D/S (analog Digital systems) are still my personal favorite for great sounding speakers that never make you sick of listening to loud music or harsh music, Your ears will thank you for their mild tweeters and super smooth crossovers. Yet they are very detailed and rich sounding. The only way to go, have had mine for 7 years.. still going strong for four years of competition and 4 different cars. They never stop suprising me every season!

i have the alpine 9815 right now but i agree with MP5, you can't beat the nac for the quality!!!!!
as for speakers, i had the morels which i loved but now i am using the Diamond HEX (older ones) and they are amazing. as for sub, i have a JL w6v2 but i think i need to change it because i don't don't have a way to mount it in the truck and still be able to take it out while i race.

The best sounding head unit that I have heard are from McIntosh...pricey yes, but the quality is there and if you have no need for a sub, all the better as I think the head unit is all you will need. I'd also have to agree that a/d/s makes some fine sounding speakers that willnot tire your ears out.

Eclipse (my favorite), Alpine, Memphis Audio, and JL
I work at Custom Audio Concepts so I know how well all of these products perform.
