Ceteris Paribus it has to be a combination of speakers and install. they are inately dependent in each other and without a proper complement will be underused and thus under their true performance potential. need we discuss this further?

 

The most important part of any install is the beer you drink during the install, and the beer you drink after the install,

American beer: whole system will sound flat, lifeless, and dull.

German beer: Strong presence with good lows, but slightly lacking in the tweetorial area

Canadian beer: Varies with the manufacturer, but generally good, clean, and crisp.

Guiness: Perfection all around.

 

^^^^ I can actually agree with that sassmaster

 

Mike, tell me how you really feel

You asked "what is ---->the<----- most important part of a system"........... not what parts have more impact or about importance of these or those components........... blah, blah, blah. Pretty sure that's what the title of the thread is............... yup, right there just like I thought. Color it any way you want.

 

I'm with a lot of guy's with this one.

Instalation also includes finding out what you as the ears wants and can aford. Budget I guess. The stongest link is definetly hindard by the weak link.

Speakers are very important but so is how they are instaled...

Spend your time and $$ looking for the instaler. Between you two a GREAT system is then easyer.

I.M.O the order of importance in components of a system (provided it's perfectly installed, or a home system) is as follows:
A: the speakers, being the LAST SOURCE of information to my ears.
B: the head unit, being the system's source of information
C: the amplifier, being the muscle meant to purly amplify what it sees, as clinically as possible.
D: the interconnecting cables, adding more subtle detail, by eliminating induced noise which will mask the detail the system will produce.

 

Well put. I agree to a certin extent, although i would put more imphasis on the head unit and amps/eq/x-over. I say this because i like loud music. And if i were to turn off all of my eq and crossovers on my deck and amps... then D A M N man....my system would sound like total *ss. X-overs and eq are life savers.

TRUE?? YES

 

Dukk, I'm about to make a change because of that.

Speakerman, the best sound out of my system so far is with the least # of speakers playing, and the smallest amount of processing. My gear ain't too shabby...so I know of what I speak.

Ha ha...somebody got Tom all riled up...although he's probably chuckling over the whole thing.
