OK, so my audiobahn thread didn't go over too well. Guess people aren't big fans of audiobahn. They are the best I have found for my money, but have second-guessed myself based on the limited replies in that thread. So, the question is: What would make the best stereo with these requirments?

1) Fronts (components, coaxles, whatever), under $500

2) Rear, under $300

3) Amp, no cost limit

4) No subwoofer yet, those come later

Please give me recommendations people, I am not an audiophile that can sense .0000001 second delay in sound, but I do enjoy the best possible experience when driving my car. Thank you.

 

I have the following stuff in my Z.

...all self-installed - sounds excellent!!!

 

Ok, here is my choice:
1. Fronts ($500 or less) : Diamond Audio s600s ($330, the silk one) or Dynaudio 240mkII ($499)

2. Rears: I don't use rears
3. Amp : Zapco
4. don't know yet, I am in the process of finding a good sub, but I think 2 10s will be suffice. I tried 2 8s (not enough lows) and now 1 10 (better), I think 2 10s will do it.


FYI: I don't own any of the products listed, those are just my wish list and I was able to audition.
