What are the best car audio speakers on the market right now? What about subs and amps?

I don't know if you have ever heard Alphasonik before, but their 800 series woofers kick. I mean they sound better than JLs. But Memphis also has some good speakers.
Amps I have to say Fosgate has just about the best amps money can buy, but for price go with Sony amps.

i have to go with memphis on this one their mojo subs with mclass mids and tweeters on memphis belle amps produced the most explosive and amazing sound i have ever heard out of a vehicle

i'm running resonant engineering RE comps in modded q-logic kick panels. the tweet is a little harsh so it sounds great to me from down there. mtx isn't the best subs and amps but it what i use right now.

damn that's a tough question.... I can tell you what companies to stay away from though.

SONY
PROFILE
PYLE
LANZAR (the Opti-Series is still good though)
LEGACY
SOUNDSTORM
XBLODE
DHD (some of them are crap)
CRUNCH
PYRAMID

if you are looking for a sub that hits hard (i'm talking holy shit hard) and has good quality bass, i would reccommend a hyphonics goliath sub. i thinking about getting two 12, b/c 15 would be to much for my truck. amps on the other hand, no one out there has what you would call a kick ass amp, they are all about the same some are better than others, but not by much. it's really all about how they are hooked up.

how would it matter how they are hooked up they all get hooked up the same

I believe he's talkin about what ohm you have it wired at. I'm runnin a Kenwood deck, Kicker s10l7 square (10") with a Kenwood monoblock x811d amp and it pounds in my reg. cab (custom center console) All boston door speakers and kenwood tweeters in the doors. Yet, if i were to do it over i would probably run an Alpine deck with an Xtant amp and keep my kicker square.

OK, I'm putting this debate to rest (sound quality anyways) after what I did this weekend. Finally installed my JL Audio ZR components in the doors, and let me say HOLY CRAP! these things blew me away. I know, for 800 bones they should, but the only speaker system that even comes close in sound quality, smoothness, clarity, everything, cost about 5 grand, and being that they are for the home, won't fit my doors. let you know more about the sub system later ( have to build the sillyy thing first)
