I guess a question to ask you is what kind of headunit/amp would be powering them?

And secondly, the best thing to do is to go to Best Buy or 6th Ave and listen to both to see what sounds the best to you.

From previous experiences that I've had with Kenwood head units, I would stay away from Kenwood all together. I had pioneer speakers in my mustang and were satisfied, but not happy with them.

Like njforcedlife said, for speakers pick Alpine. They put out some SERIOUS quality products. Also look into speakers from MBquart and Kicker.

only alpine speakers worth a crap are the spx pro's

everything else sucks.

As far as head units go, kenwood has been coming out with some decent stuff lately.

amps..i only use sundown or zapco.

alpines as suggested above are very nice, i personally would suggest polk as that is what I have used for years and I love them. I prefer pioneer head units over kenwood just for the fact that the new UI they have on the double din units is much more user friendly... the ipod navigation is extremely easy. good luck!

my preference is alpine head unit and rockford fosgate speakers all around. and i have a Coustic 460 amp that ive had for at least 15 years and it works perfect
kenwood heads are nice, i had one with a 6 disc changer a couple cars ago and liked it.
im not a fan of pioneer at all

apline makes one of the best head units imo, but the price definately reflects it... which puts me in the kenwood/pioneer range. tcrs's suggestion of going into a store and playing around with them is the best though, because it really is personal preference.
