Good stuff. I had an all Fosgate system installed in my car back in 1987 and have never had any problems.

Thankfully not 1987 anymore. My point was the equipment has lasted years and have not had any issues. I'm not sure if would buy their stuff again since is overpriced but have been happy thusfar.

It's not 1987 anymore. Very, very overpriced mediocre equipment. The only thing I would use is their very overpriced, high end subs, otherwise, stay away.
Agreed. They are not the same company that built the great reputation in the 80's and 90's.

Is Alpine any good these days? They used to have good stuff. I also remember having an excellent receiver made by Concord.

I know Concord is long gone. They had some nice head units. Most likely I would either get Alpine or Kenwood equipment if was to do again.
Concord is gone, I believe. Alpine decks and signal processors are top notch. Their amps are technological marvels, but underpowered, like most Japanese amps. Their speakers are great, but don't handle a lot of power. Probably best suited for a car enviornment where sound quality is at a premium and the acoustics can be controlled.

I've used nothing but Fosgate subs in any system for as long as I have built stereos!
Been through the gamut of speakers, still seem to like Kenwood for the price, and lately I haven't found a Head Unit I like better than the Clarion.
For an Amp? Pheonix Gold.

I like Fosgate for the price. I use 2 in my boat (300 x 2 and 500 x 4) and have been impressed. I prefer JL Audio for amps, but they are more $$$.
As far as decks go, I love Alpine. Easy to use, clean sound, good looking.
For speakers in the boat, I went with 4 6x9's. The Infinity Kappa series. I have been very impressed. I was planning on replacing them, but they are doing fine.
I'm also pushing one 12 Fosgate sub. I will prob add another.

Nissan is using fosgate in some of their new vehicles. Titan/Armada.
Haven't seen any problems. Unlike the Clarion and Panasonic junk they used in the past.

I was thinking the samething. If you were up this way I could probably set ya up.
We have alot of hard up sales guys standing around right now. :D
Actually I'd go straight to the manager. :cool: I would try and get you some price comparisons.
But if they don't think your actually going to buy they don't give much.
