For my own two cents, brand name power is king abot sa mga ganito. Wag naman unknown brand

baka mamaya dangerous na pala ginagawa mo.
Most people at this level don't really audition cars. I mean, no offense, but yun nakikita ko is that most people simply buy these, install, ayun lang. Their sound don't really differ. Personally di ko alam yun difference ng JBL, Sony, or Pionner speakers unlike higher-end products where competitors try to differentiate their products by introducing a particular sound signature (this makes it easy to differentiate DLS speakers from, let's say, Focals)
There are a lot of good products out there for budget setups: A/D/S, Dominations, Pioneer, JBL, Alpine, etc.
trying to debate among them is like trying to proving whether Samsung makes better TVs than Sony Bravia. Iikot-ikot lang yan.. since opiniated lahat.
Pero sa choices, JBL parin ako

. Why? Kasi masparang high-end compared to Sony pakingan eh. If it's "pare, sony setup yan.." walang dating. While if you say "That's a JBL GTO setup with blah blah blah.." masmay-dating diba? :naughty2:
