Terry Joseph Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 Hi everyone, I have been searching for quite a while to try to find some information on the best makes and models of cars and SUV's for car audio. I currently am running two JL Audio 12W3v3's powered by a Alpine MRV-M500 in a 98 Buick Century. I also have pioneer 3-ways in the front doors and Rockford Fosgate Prime 6x9's in the back as being powered through a standard $100 JVC headunit. Its nothing to blow your socks off but definitely packs a pretty good punch and I am happy with the setup. I am in the market for a new car and am wanting to know if anyone has any input on what is a good list of solid cars (American preferably) for aftermarket car audio systems. My idea of good would be easiness and simplicity of working on, structurally reliable, and audio quality. Now I am no audio expert but I do know that all systems sound different in different cars, even with the same exact equipment. I am planning on keeping the setup I have, as far as the subs and amp, in whatever car I purchase. Down the road, I will eventually upgrade to something bigger, more around the 1000-1500 RMS range and want something that I can "grow into" if you will. If anyone can give me insight on the topic, I would greatly appreciate it.
youngbass98 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 All I can tell you it is all in the size of system you want. You can get a Tahoe fit 4 18s in there but dont be crying when your getting 8 mpg. Btw Chevy would probably be the best bet for high output alts, and lots of aftermarket parts\ accessories. 06 monte carlo 2 12 rockford p3s soundstream rubicon 2500 crescendo audio mezzo 6.5 ct sounds 125.4 execution audio and shca wiring 2 xs d3400 on stock alt

Terry Joseph Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks for the input so far. To clearlify a little bit I might add that I would prefer a mid sized sedan or a smaller SUV. It would be a daily driver and I would never want to modify it to the point where is it not clean and/or stock (or at lease stock-ish looking). Dont want to attract any unwanted attention to the car when parked in parking lots or on street at night. A bunch of different options and accessories are a positive as well.

boom50cal Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 Chevy Blazer/GMC Jimmy. Bulletproof v6's and decently stout auto's if you take car of them. Chevy Silverado/Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Sierra/Yukon/Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalades... Fullsize GM vehicles since 1988 lol.
