i've been listening to car audio systems for a long time. Heard all types of systems, from top notch of the late LA Sound to Q-Line MB Quart systems. Honestly, i wish i had $5000 to spend on a Q-Line MB Quart system. it is by far the best and clearest quality car audio system with the most precise and distinguished sound i've ever heard. It is the Ferrari of sound systems. Even their subwoofers are crisp and clear. Since i can't afford that system, i'm mixing and matching the best sounding items from a variety of brands. My subwoofer and amplifier are about 10 years old, and they probably can kick the ass of almost any top-line competition of today. A good speaker is a good speaker, period. With a good system, you'll be hearing things you never have heard before in a song you've practically memorized by heart. Waste of money? More like investment that will last a lifetime.
