The only pioneer stuff I buy (or trust) is thier speakers
I had to 2 12" Rockford Punch Z in my old cutlass and they knocked great. By the way I stripped all my good system componets out of the car because its forsale, not sure if I'm going to sell it all yet but I don't want to put it in my 442

psycho..i was actually doing a play on words, due to the fact of the speaker Brando had posted, which was a play off the sony xplode line of speakers, but called xblod instead...sorry for the confusion

Everyone has their own horror stories about car audio brands...
Myself, I dont mind MTX because I had a set of 10" mtx thunders... I ran them for 4 whole years, and they worked hard. Finally gave them away for a nicer sounding speaker... But the point I guess is that they lasted 4 years...
I am sure no one will disagree when I say never to waste money on pyramid, or jensen parts... I have owned both in the past, and wished I didnt... 
But I cannot stand Rockford Fosgate. My buddy bought a set of 10" fosgate woofers and killed those 3 months later. They replaced them for him and one went back 2 months after that... My other buddy bought a RF 250 watt amp or something and it was warrantied at least once... But they were hardcore RF fans, so they kept buying it... and warrantying it...

I have a Eclipse head unit and I have to say its the best head unit I ever had. I ran a couple different head units (sony, pioneer, ect) but most of them broke up when they got really loud. I dropped this eclipse in and it sounded perfect, I had this one song my Ramstien called Engel which has a lot of whistling in it and in my old units it never bothered me but with this unit I have now it hurt the hell out of my ears and it felt like a sharp blade stabbing into my head. Plus that song has a cool bass guitar solo, it made my car buzz so hard that one of my girlfriends told me to turn it off because umm well you know

I was running to 2 12" rockford Punch Zs. I'm not to big of a fan of rockford but a birthday present is a birthday present, can't let it go to waste 8) right now I'm not running a system in either car, I pulled all my good stuff out of my cutlass and dropped in a crappy radio so I can sell the car and in my 442 I only have my Eclipse head unit and 2 Jenson 6x9s in the rear. I kinda miss having a system. For my 442 I'm getting new kick panels with 3.5 inch pioneer 2 way speakers in them and I'm putting 2 Pioneer 3 way 6x9s in the back, then I'm probably going to run only a 8 inch JL sub in the back if I need it (I don't need a thumping sound system in a muscle car) Oh and I might buy one of the new Eclipse head units because mine is like 2 or 3 years old.
