Clean audio system

I am looking at different systems and I was trying to figure out what type would be great. I don't care as much about loudness but rather something that is really clean. I've heard that MB Quarts are great for mids and highs but they are a little pricey. I've also seen that a lot of people like the JL subs. Does anyone have any suggestions for subs, components and amps?

Thanks in advance

We sure do. Search and ye shall find.

btw: you were looking at getting a G35c in the Bay area last month, you ever find one? I guess so if you are looking to put a sound system in it. What did you get?

Some searching will find that DLS components and ID subs represent rather well.

Do I need an amp for the bose speakers or just use the bose amp that comes with it?

No highs No lows must be bose or you know what bose stands for Buy Other Stereo Equipment.

I don't know exactly what they are the top of the line of maybe marketing but sure isn't sound quality. Granted they are better then a dead stock regular stereo but they don't even come close to touching the Truly High End aftermarket equipment. I 2nd the DLS speakers also check out Dynaudio. For the Subs look at Treo Engineering and Image Dynamics. Any other questions feel free to e-mail or contact us directly

That's a question that if asked to 10 different audio heads will probably give you 10 different answers.

I designed and installed my system to give me very clean sound with tight bass. Here's what I have for equipment.

Bose Head Unit
JL Audio 300/4 4ch amp
JL Audio 500/1 sub amp
CDT Audio EF-61 6.5" components up front w/ the tweets in the stock location
Bose 6.5" coax in rear
4080 subwoofer box w/ JL Audio 10W3V2 sub (soon to be replaced with a 10W6V2)
David Navone NE-774V 4ch line output converter (you don't need this with JL / series amps, but I used it to increase the signal to the amps)

I really like the clean power that the JL amps provide, I'm a huge fan of CDT Audio component speakers and I LOVE JL subs. IMO, my system is very clean sounding with bass a plenty but not boomy. I hate ghetto bass that shakes the car. My advice would be to listen to systems of other G owners if possible to get an idea of what sounds good to you.

You can find MBs on ebay for a fair price. Their premium line with 5 1/4 goes for about $220 i believe.

I would love to try out a set of dls components but my MBs are still in top shape so I really can't justify getting another quality set.

Meh. Many say they are overpriced.

There's some forum member on here in the Bay that does DLS and ID and keeps posting pics of his work... can't you find one of these guys and hear his car?
