a friend of mine had Boston Acoustics in his car, really clear sound at any volume.

i didn't think Bang and Olufsen made anything for cars......... it's a little over priced if you ask me anyway.

i have Philips in my car, they sound grate and I've never had a problem with them, been about 4 years now.

i think the green ones are called Fusion :(

#1 Boston Acoustics, they cost a little, but well worth it

#2 Philips

This discussion is pointless.

There are so many variables and opinions it really cant be listed as to the best speakes.

Are you considering the amount of money spent on marketing?

Build quality?

power handling?

bang for buck?

availability?

reliability?

color?

shape?

the way it was installed?

amp? headunit? mouse on a treadmill? what sort of pwer does it need/ get?

A commom thing people do whan comparing two speakers is to forget about a lot of the particulars. Are you comparing a set that is high in one brands range to entry level in another brand?

A good quality speaker might sound crap with a poor instalation.

I have seen it at shows and in stores time and time again, "my xxxxxxx system kills yours"

The repsonse, " yeah it should, you spent 10 times what i did."

So maybe to make it fair and resonable, how about putting some parameters around the assessment process. That way people can give you a rank based on something real and not just an opinion influenced by jazzy marketing or one car that just happened to sound ok.

After all there are speakers out there for cars that are worth MORE than the car they are installed into.

yep rainbow and DLS do those. one of them is a touch over $14k..

What brands do you think make the best speakers out in the market in sound quality, bass quality, reliability etc.. List your top 5

e.g.

1. Alpine

2. Kenwood

3. Pioneer

4. Sony

5. etc.....

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
