Terry Joseph Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbass98 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Joseph Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share 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.
