What's a great highend car audio system?

Honestly.... If I was looking for a highend system none of that equipment would be going in my car. Headunit would be nakamichi or top of the line eclipse components would be either focal, CDT, Morel, or rainbow 6x9's have poor SQ so those wouldn't even be in the car. The W7 is a very over rated sub, it had its day in the sun and now its over.... you go to any comp and there is barely any W7's there anymore, for SPL they are lacking and for SQ you can buy cheaper that has a better responce. Subs for a highend system would be a simple choice for me, TC Sounds LMS-5400 15. now thats a bad@** sub. Amps probably zapco Everything I have listed would be considered highend by any audiophile Good Luck

Kicker G to add to your already great list amps- genesis, yzen components -genesis, avi subs- bravox audio, avi

I think you made some good choices, I would suggest you upgrade your alternator and add second battery / batteries (Kinetik or Optima yellow top) and don't buy the capacitor. All power comes from alternator anyway. alt charges battery, cap pulls from battery and holds charge, and amp pulls from cap. I don't think the w7 are the best money can buy, but that's my opinion. I have One 12" Kicker SOLOX.

first off , kenwood a no-no, pioneer 880 prs, or the eclipse cd 7000, or the panasonic with the link below ! kenwood, noo no. check out the focal or mb quart speakers, morel definetely expensive, or a sure shot with the boston aucoustic components, -(bad azz) for subs, you want quality bass, then the image idmax subs brother or the boston aucoustic g5 subs, sick subs, dont cost *** much as the jl's and sound awesome, i have the jbl gti's and those are sick sq subs also. i like the amps, but price wise there expensive, go with the alpine pdx monoblock, good amp, dont kill the electrical and great features - plus its small as hell- perfect for installs- with 1000w rms at 4 or 2 ohms-(tough amp to beat in that range for the watts, plus the ohm rating!) ok, get a cap, but i would get a alternator before a cap, better choice- you might spend a little more, but your better off in the end-(you wont regret that purchase at all in the end!) ok the rear deck, well 6x9 dont cut it, and if you get some good front end clarity i would not worry about the 6x9in the rear- your driving the car in the front, not the back. p.s- i have the pioneer dehp880prs and that radio is bad azz, tons of audio adjustments, and it cant be beat, the only radio that pretty much compares is the eclispe cd7000 and that only if you gonna use the nagivation,if not , it has alot of audio adjustments, also crutchfield has a panasonic deck-(yeah i know panasonic- right- but this one particular radio is sick heres the link http://www.crutchfield.com/S-UxQ95QqKq6B/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=133C8803 Subwoofer Output: In addition to front and rear preamp outputs, the receiver has a non-fading, two-channel subwoofer output. You can adjust the volume of the subwoofer output from -6dB to +6dB in 2dB increments. In addition, you can adjust the frequency of the built-in low pass filter from 60Hz to 160Hz in 5Hz increments, or the filter can be turned off.= GREAT FEATURE! High Pass Filter: The receiver's built-in high-pass filter can be set to 90Hz to 225Hz in 5Hz increments or turned off. =(AWESOME) Super Bass Control Subwoofer (SBC-SW): When a subwoofer is not connected, the rear speakers can be used as a substitute subwoofer. When the SBC-SW is activated, the subwoofer level and low pass filter settings are applied to the rear speaker outputs.(NOT MANY DO THIS=AWESOME) SRS CS Automotive: SRS Circle Surround Automotive (CS Auto) lets you experience a natural sound field anywhere in the vehicle, unlike other sound field manipulation methods such as time delay. SRS TruBass can be applied independently to front and rear speakers and the subwoofer. SRS Focus can be applied independently to front and rear speakers, or mixed between front and rear. There are 3 CS Auto presets: Music (default for sources other than AM radio), Cinema, or Mono (default for AM).(TUNE THE SOUND BY EAR=PLUS!) SQ9: The CQ-C8803U features a SQ9 "Sound Quality" 9-band equalizer with selectable center frequencies and 6 EQ presets. The presets include Rock, Pop, Vocal, Jazz, Club and Flat. You can further adjust the presets at any of the 9 EQ bands and save the custom settings into memory for instant recall. The 9 bands can be adjusted from -12dB to +12dB and you can choose the center frequency from the following (default center frequency in bold): =(VERY IMPORTANT) DOWN BELOW SHOW YOU EVERYTIME YOU CHANGE THE BASS TO GO UP OR DOWN YOU CAN GO EITHER UP OR DOWN IN EITHER DIRECTION IN 12 STEPS= NOTHING COMPARES EXCEPT THE PIONEERS AND THE ECLIPSE. * Band 1: 25, 31.5, 35, 40, 50, 55, 60, 62.5, 65, 70, 75, and 80 Hz * Band 2: 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155, and 160 Hz * Band 3: 200, 220, 230, 240, 250, 270, 280, 290, 300, and 315 Hz * Band 4: 400, 425, 450, 475, 500, 525, 550, 575, 600, and 630 Hz * Band 5: 800, 850, 900, 950, 1k, 1.05k, 1.10k, 1.15k, 1.20k, and 1.25k Hz * Band 6: 1.6k, 1.7k, 1.8k, 1.9k, 2k, 2.1k, 2.2k, 2.3k, 2.4k, and 2.5k Hz * Band 7: 3.15k, 3.25k, 3.5k, 3.75k, 4k, 4.25k, 4.5k, 4.75k, and 5k Hz * Band 8: 6.3k, 6.5k, 7k, 7.5k, 8k, 8.5k, 9k, 9.5k, and 10k Hz * Band 9: 12.5k, 13k, 14k, 15k, 16k, 17k, 18k, 19k, and 20k Hz UP ABOVE ARE SOME AWESOME SETTING AND CANT BE GET FOR THE PRICE OF THE RADIO. Seat Position Settings: In addition to the SQ Presets and SQ9 Equalizer settings, you can select a Seat Position where the sound enhancements will be focused. The Seat Position settings include Front Right (passenger), Front Left (driver), Front All, Rear All, or Off.= COMMON FEATURE! Built-in Amp Control: When you are using external amplifiers, you can turn off the receiver's internal amplifier. When deactivated, an "Amp Off" icon appears in the display.= AWESOME FEATURE= THIS RADIO CAN SHUT OFF THE INTERNAL AMP= GREAT FEATURE, HARD TO FIND FEATURE IN THE PRICE RANGE! ANYWAY GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE I HELP YOU , LATER MAN

I install car audio for a living my personal experance is kenwood should stick to home systems Alpine or Eclipse are the best decks or headunits infinity makes great speakers again i cant say anything bad about JL audio speaker and Jl audio make a good sub amp you will need to add a smaller amp to feed mids as for the cap it is a great investment to keep it all running smooth (but dont forget too look at the battery and the charging system it take power to make power) really its what you can afford i have put some systems to gether for people who could not afford the best and these system sound very good too.

the w7's are nice but u can do much better for the price. same for the jl amp. check out focal utopia be series 13" sub on woofersetc.com that would make the w7 look like crap
