stuball Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 if you wont the best of everything you wont get it all from the one manafacturer Not strictly true as all manufacturers set up their equipment using their own products so if u r using from one manufacturer it should work together out of the box better than different brands.

Mike C Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 if you wont the best of everything you wont get it all from the one manafacturer True, but if u ent got the money to spend on the best of everything and u wanna go for ur run of the mill pioneer, sony or kenwood, then it would be best to stick to one brand. Out of those, ppl I know with Kenwood have had nowt but trouble from at least one thing. As for Sony, some of their stuff is class, some of it is shocking, its just knowing the difference, and if ur thinkin Pioneer, yeh I'd say they were pretty good all rounders.

O-Z Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 you only need to stick to one brand if you buying really high-end products within that brand. because usually they will be matched together on purpose to make the complete system sound better.for example, i know a guy that had 100% kenwood, but it was quite low-end. and the amp was clipping at very low volumes because it wasnt happy with the set up. so unless your spending 1000's, i'd mix and match mate! not a BIG fan of the lastest pioneer stuff mate, they kinda gone down-hill like kenwood have of late. my choice would beclarion headunit <they r still the donfusion speakers <they keep the price low, have a pretty good range, and can take a bashingfocal speakers <if u want delicate, responsive, precise imaging. wacks the price up thoughvibe SUB <fuckin' excellent. if you buy one of the active range it is all configured and matched for you. the amp and box are made perfectly for the driver so you get a really good performace. shite-loads of bass, they r near impossible to distort, and value for money! hope my advise helps!
