I was wondering what ur opinions are in terms of companies.

Front Speakers: JBL P652
Rear Speakers:JBL GTO8627
Speaker Amp: None
Sub Amp: JBL GTO301.1 II

I am looking to upgrade my system.
I want my deck to have a better i-pod control.
I want component speakers up front and i want to amplify them.

What are ur recommendations for best no matter the price and best price to quality ratio.

 

You are asking questions for biased answers and you may get more then you asked for. My 2 cents!

It usually comes down to preference, application and overall budget!

 

I know its going to be biased, thats what i want, opinions.

 

These are my picks - I hope your search goes well!

Any one Else?

 

Best Deck:MC-406
Best Component Speakers:7 BE'S (FOCAL)
Best 2-Channel Speaker Amp:AUDISON
Best Sub Amp:AUDISON
Best 10" Sub:8"BE LINE OF FOCAL(21KW FOCAL) IF IT MUST BE A 10 THEN I WOULD GO TO THE 27KX (11"SUB)



I want my deck to have a better i-pod control.THEN THE MC 406 IS NOT THE DECK FOR YOU
I want component speakers up front and i want to amplify them.THIS IS A GOOD THING TO DO

 

"I want component speakers up front and i want to amplify them." not doing so would be disappointing

 

Just to be clear as not 2 mix ppl up
