The Audiobahns are pretty good, I don't really like kicker unless it is the Solo Baric.

The Solo Barics are great if you want boom, the alpines are good if you want clear bass but not hard hitting (thats what I have, but i like clear sound plus bass!! ) Audiobahns, I have never really heard them in anybodies car around here!!

I have an Audiobahn 12 in a bandbass box, and I am pleased with the way it sounds.

The Solo barics and Alpines are a little expensive, but I also think JL's are good too (for you Guru ) and the price is good and sound good on those. IMO

Power acoustik 55$
http://www.discountave.net/blpowac12car.html

Can't find what kind for 55$
http://7925.adahost.com/computer/ind...item12807.html

BTW if ever you see a company that a shouldn't go with tell me. I don't want to be stuck with Jensen quality again. I sure got great bang for my buck but I know I could have gotten better than that.

Well, blaze anything is better than stock you just have to find something you like! Goto friends and see what they got and listen and compare prices! My friend thats what I did and I liked the Alpines Type S 12" for what I want(plus I have everything Alpine in my car) . Or goto a car sound place and see the diffrences between the speakers and ask questions and more questions. You have to get something you are going to be happy with!!!

the audiobahn seems to be the best. most efficient one. the infinity is second, and the cerwins behind them.

subs are pretty similar, it's all about the power you put to them. so if you want my opinion, get the audiobahn, because it is reasonably priced and is the most efficient out of all of them.
