My first real HU was an Eclipse ECD-410. I loved that thing, only down side was it only had one set of preamp outputs. I then upgraded to the Clarion DRX9375R. One of the first RDS tuners. That thing had a ton of features for the day including an external DSP.

And now we're into stuff I've never even heard of. I thought Kenwood, Jvc, Alpine and the like were it. Or at least good. Now there's this "clarion" brand and "eclipse" thing, and dome kind of "audio frog" amd I'm just like.

"If such good stuff exists and it's so much better, why is it never heard of or known about by the averagely to above-averagely knowing/involved person?"

Are there speakers that are magnitudes above JL in quality that fee never heard of? Is even the best kenwood, alpine, etc head unit garbage compared to these new ones?

Oh, and my neighbor has "danom" speakers. What're those, how good are they, and how do they compare to the stuff that I at least know about like JL, DLS, Diamond, and Hertz?

Old school car audio was all about quality, unfortunately things have changed. Alpine always had excellent HUs as well, but their amps and speakers were lacking. JL always made quality subs as well. I've always liked MB Quart, Boston Acoustics and Focal highs and mids. PPI, Xtant, Phoenix Gold amps unless you had bank, in that case McIntosh amps FTW. [emoji16]

What's good for the lows? Or is JL on the same tier as the one you listed?

JL subs have always been good, a tad overpriced but they are good, for consumer grade subs, i have always been a kicker and fosgate fan, of course thats the consumer stuff, when you get into competition we get to subs that are MUCH higher priced

Yeah, I'm not looking to compete. I just want the highest quality reasonable consumer grade equipment, setup, and sound deadening.

ill be honest with you, for a normal setup, the biggest thing will be the box, the box can make the best subs sound like **** and some crappy subs sound amazing, lol, but as far as consumer subs and what works, there are many options, and many very affordable options, for example, i have some Skar audio stuff in my 3/4 ton right now, subs, amp, and box, that stuff has surprised me and it was less than $300 for it all

my neighbors truck i just threw together a system for him with a kenwood 800w amp, a under seat box and some kicker shallow mount 10s and it sounds great, like i said for normal consumer stuff there are tons of options and it to sound good, just make sure what you get fits the airspace of the box, and the amp matches the subs, wattage and ohms and you will be pretty good

Agreed about the box. I always preferred sealed enclosures.

Orion has a great entry level selection of subs, I've used one of there entry subs as well has multiple HCCA'S and have been extremely impressed with both. But that's just one of many options out there you can look at
