what are you looking at in a system? You want exploding bass? Clean Bass? Sound Quality for all types of music? What do you usually listen to?

 

[Santo3477]

Denon headunit
Rainbow Reference components
Zapco amps
Eclipse Titanium subs

you wont be dissapointed with that setup

but the total cost if you do the install yourself will be over $21,000.00

denon? never heard of it leenjen

Denon and McIntosh make the best car audio headunits in the world. i prefer Denon to McIntosh, but both are excellent. expect to pay $3500-$4000 for a top of the line headunit.

i like the Denon DCT-Z1

Denon makes some of the most expensive and top of the line home stearo systems such as recievers

Wow I didn't know Denon was in the automotive market too !!!
I have one of their CD / casette combo's in my concert sound system. Real nice.

Yup, as Leenjen has posted, Denon & McIntosh have been into car audio for awhile. I used to have a Denon amp at home, really sounded sweet!! A freind of mine used to have a McIntosh......awesome!!

The only problem with Macintosh is that Clarion now owns them. Never been a big Clarion fan

I might suggest going with something cheaper cuz if your like me you cant go spending $21,000 on a system.

take 1 blaupunkt/pioneer/kenwood
add 1 set components (audiobahn,kicker, anything)
(optional) add a set of speaks for rear fill (see above)
and get 2-4 subs of your liking, or if you are a simple man like me just get one big sub. for subs may I suggest JL audio, Audiobahn, MA audio, Rockford fosgate or MTX, I left out a lot of others, but I am going on my opinion, what you should do is peep some other systems, visit some shops, and keep your eyes, and more importantly your ears open.
