(Some of) The Best Entry Level Car Audio Brands available

I made this to show people the best car audio brands that are cheap and still give great quality. I say some of the best car audio brands because there are just so many good brands out there that its hard to say who is #1, it really just depends on what you like. I have been around Car Audio for over 8 years and have installed countless stereos in my time.

Alphasonik 

Everything that Alphasonik makes is very slick looking, they sound very good and can get extremely loud for the money. The quality is not up to par with Alpine but the loudness is close to that of some Kicker products.

Cadence 

This is Alpine or JL Audio quality with a cheaper price I have two 10s in my 1991 Acura Legend (Shout out to the people who know about the greatness of that car) the subs hit hard and don't strain when the volume is cranked. They are not competition subs but they will last you a while. I know they may not look like much but they are worth the investment. I would say go with everything they offer because its going to be good.

Cadence speakers  

These are great speakers to try out if you choose this brand.

DB Drive  

Now some people may argue with this if they know about this brand and say it should be considered high quality, but I am putting it in the entry level because they are not over priced. I love the sound and the symbol. Oh by the way, team db drive just one 11 awards and 2 word records. They do make competition level subs and amps so do not be alarmed at those prices, they have wonderful sounding entry level stuff.

JBL 

JBL is related to Harmon Karden, Harmon Karden's speakers go into those cars called Mercedes. JBL is great quality and look very cool. They are smooth and just a true joy to have in a car I would say stick to just their amps, Subs, and speakers, I am not so sure about anything else they may make.

Kenwood 

My friend talked me into trying this brand, at first I thought what a lot of people thought about Kenwood. I thought that they were not worth any kind of investment because they just suck...not true. They have some of the best cd players you can buy, wonderful speakers and some solid subs. They don't make the loudest stuff by any means but its good quality if you want to just cruise and listen to some jazz or R&B.

MA Audio 

This is a good brand all the way through, not great and far from bad. I have some amps they made at my house right not that I can't wait to install in my new car (I have 3 now). I am impressed almost always when I hear this brands stuff. Good cheap prices also can't hurt how much I like them. Give them a try.

Rockford Fosgate 

You already know this name if you have ever been to a best buy. They are pretty popular and sound pretty good. Rockford makes the punch series which is what I am talking about currently, and they also have the Power series which is more expensive and way louder. The Punch series is a good start for anyone they sound good and smooth. I wouldn't suggest the thin subs Rockford makes unless they say power on them though. Anyway, this is a brand you can trust to perform well.

JVC 

Most hated on, and most under rated, the JVC brand is way better then people want to give it credit for. Me and my friends all have something by JVC in our cars and we have one competitions. The JVC Cd players and DVd Players are just plain cool and different from everyone else. I highly recommend anything by them. Please test them out.
