Systems to Rattle Your Panels

Looking for quality audio with boomin' bass? Check out these neat audio components that will shake your brains instead of the change out of your wallet.

People love music. That's a fact. Ever since sound systems were first offered in cars, they've been viewed as essential ever since. I think I speak for most of us when I say it'd be pretty damn disappointing to hop into your car, only to realize there are no tunes to enjoy en-route to your destination.

Ya know what's even better than having a sound system? Having a loud, obnoxious, bassy one!

In this list, we'll go over some of the best brands that really put some UMPH into your tunes, without making you check your bank account and say UGH. Car audio can get EXTREMELY pricey... some people invest thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars to quite literally blow the doors off their whips.

While these systems may not do that, they'll definitely pack a punch you can appreciate. Check out some of my recommendations down below.

Let's kick off the list with, well, Kicker. Kicker offers a huge variety of speakers designed to provide the appropriate amounts of treble, bass and mids for different sized cars. A stand-out offer of theirs would be their fully-enclosed subwoofers. Complete in an entire case with a built in amplifier, some of these subs run for well under $100, but provide a punch you wouldn't believe. I've owned them myself, Kicker is totally worth considering.

Boss is the next brand we'll discuss. When people see an abundance of one brand's products offered by Wal-Mart, it's easy to tag them as cheap and crappy and keep it moving. However, Boss is pretty overlooked. They offer fully enclosed subs, amplifiers, touchscreen bluetooth head units and much more. The sound quality is impressive for the significantly lower price they're available at in comparison to some of the bigger names... they're definitely overlooked, so it may be time to reconsider.

Pyle is another brand that follows the same concept. A product to note from their line is a fully encased, two-10 inch subwoofer set up for under $90... 'nuff said.

JL Audio suffers a similiar reputation as that of Boss. People hear the price and where you can buy them, then automatically assume they're crap. JL offers a long line of just about every component you'd need for a boomin' system. Look into them if you want premier sound at an average price.

Power Acoustik is another "cheap brand" with surprising quality. With versatile, flip up and touch screen head units, you can assure they offer a value brand price for something pretty damn cool and high-tech. Don't sleep on their amplifiers, either.

Planet Audio is yet another versatile brand that offers everything you'd need at a low price. They are sold all over, at both in-store and online retailers. One of their hottest offers includes a package deal of enclosed subs with an amp and wiring for just about $200 brand new. Hard not to take that into consideration.

With all of that said, car audio is an overall expensive luxury addition to any ride. I'm sure you're all aware of this. However, with brands like these... it makes it that much easier to get the boomin' sound you're looking for. These companies provide you with great sounds at low prices, leaving you the opportunity to spend money in other departments. Check 'em out!
