Lets everyone know what brands of speakers, subs, head units, right down to the amp kits!!!!

Give a review of your audio past or present, love it, hate it, let everyone know!!!

If we keep this going it will cut down on the endless "What should I get?" threads.

Thats gotta sound amazing! Thanx for kickin off the thread! I really dont have anything to input I so far I am still deciding on speakers.

Though I did just install a Kenwood KOS-A300 media controller. A lil ABS, put the screen under the heater controls, the control **** in the cup holder so you can shut it, and ran the usb to the glove box where my ipod sits. Use a RCA to 3.5mm plug it right into the aux jack ( run the rca to 3.5mm cord threw the dash under you see maybe a inch of cord). Put the brain under the radio in the center console where theres enough room to smuggle a small child.... $80 from crutchfield

Well Ive done quite of few box store brands when I worked for CC and BB. Pioneer, polk, alpine, last car was kappa's and Diamond HEX at when I was at a small shop. Crazy as it may sound I loved the polks but I was a big fan of the pioneer TS-D's. I am still in my an old vendor who can gets me Pioneer and Infinity at 10% over cost. So I am up in the air in getting middle of the road stuff fairly cheap or doing this car up and going with rainbow, focal or hertz. The trick with that is hiding it from the wife Any chance you know what the dreamline is goingish for?

Nothing too fancy here: a JVC KD-AHD69 Head Unit, Boston Acoustics S65 speakers all around. Love being able to play music off a flash drive.

You need to upload your images to a file sharing service like photobucket, then embed the hyperlink to the image in your post, in [img] tags.

I have Alpine Type-S speakers on the rear. Good bass and quality. Would recommend them. 10/10 I am looking forward on putting some on the front.

Nismo14 do you have a write for your setup in your altima? I really don't want to compromise my trunk space but at the same time I want to revert back to stock when I sell it. I currently have the following issues in my altima...

Lol.

The first thing I would do is get a head unit. It is reversible, effective, simple to install, and makes your Bose system sound a lot better. Many users are satisfied with this setup.

Philly is local. Myself or Nismo would be happy to help with any install or advice. You seem to be similar to me in that you're looking for practical solutions.
