a friend of mine had Boston Acoustics in his car, really clear sound at any volume.

i didn't think Bang and Olufsen made anything for cars......... it's a little over priced if you ask me anyway.

i have Philips in my car, they sound grate and I've never had a problem with them, been about 4 years now.

i think the green ones are called Fusion

#1 Boston Acoustics, they cost a little, but well worth it

#2 Philips

This discussion is pointless.

There are so many variables and opinions it really cant be listed as to the best speakes.

Are you considering the amount of money spent on marketing?

Build quality?

power handling?

bang for buck?

availability?

reliability?

color?

shape?

the way it was installed?

amp? headunit? mouse on a treadmill? what sort of pwer does it need/ get?

A commom thing people do whan comparing two speakers is to forget about a lot of the particulars. Are you comparing a set that is high in one brands range to entry level in another brand?

A good quality speaker might sound crap with a poor instalation.

I have seen it at shows and in stores time and time again, "my xxxxxxx system kills yours"

The repsonse, " yeah it should, you spent 10 times what i did."

So maybe to make it fair and resonable, how about putting some parameters around the assessment process. That way people can give you a rank based on something real and not just an opinion influenced by jazzy marketing or one car that just happened to sound ok.

After all there are speakers out there for cars that are worth MORE than the car they are installed into.

yep rainbow and DLS do those. one of them is a touch over $14k..

[rocketboy]

Rainbow reference, worth more than my car! DLS are rather nice, I have a set of Iridium 6.3 in my car at the moment. Other top brands IMO, Morel, Boston Acoustic, Focal. Thats all I can thin of for now.
