| I used to go to harwin to buy my stuff. Was usually cheaper than most places and got a discount if bought speakers and head units all at once. (it was called something Kong or Gorilla) |

meh
i'd much rather get speakers from a brand that specializes in speakers, subs from a brand that specializes in subs, and amps from a brand that specializes in amps
JL is meh unless you overpay for their good stuff, but you will overpay, and it won't be as good as something you could have found for cheaper |

Yea Falcon is still there, just off Harwin and Fondren. Diego looks like a Mexican Jesus and he's cool as hell (he's the guy that checks out your car and gives you quotes). They apparently have the best prices. I just got Infinity's (6") in my car and a cheap ass head unit, in case Dirk decides to break into my car again. :D ANyway, the place where I got them had the speakers pretty cheap and the unit as well, along with free installation.
King Kong is still there but I don't know much about it. |

I can't vouch for their amps first hand but I love their subs, and their higher end speakers sound very fucking good. Given, their higher range carries a bit of a premium. Shopping around online can cut that back though. |
