Lets start with what I have now:
Stock Bose Deck, Alpine 4-channel amp (not sure model # but it's ooold) and a 12" W3 V1
Very simple just have one channel pushing the sub, makes up for the lack of bass my car had stock. I do have some Phoenix Gold Ti Elite components but they are not installed because the crossovers were stolen, but I will get them in soon. About the whole theft, this is what was in my car that was stolen.
Eclipse 7423 In-dash DVD (i think that's the right model #)
JL Audio 300/4 and 500/1
2 W3 12"
and I was running PG Ti Elite 5 1/4"
Lightning Audio 1 Farad Cap
I had a Pioneer 6500 before the Eclipse In-dash, and before the Pioneer I had an Eclipse 5441. Before the PG Ti Elites, I had Eclipse Point Sources.
I'd have to say I like the 5441. SQ wise it was awesome. It was simple to use not too flashy. Strong preouts improved the signal and made the system louder. However, after a few years the control knob for the volume went to hell. The Pioneer 6500 was awesome. I ended up like the interface much better than the Eclipse DVD, it was easier to install and I could adjust the onboard EQ more than the Eclipse. The Eclipse was nice but I would've taken the Pioneer back if I could, but from what I've seen of the new Eclipse products, they look better than the Pioneers'. The point source speakers were okay, but they lacked midbass to me and were pretty 'bright'. The Phoenix Gold Ti Elites are awesome to me. I also like Diamond Audio s600s from just listening to them, more that MB Quarts. Quart references don't sound that great to me. The Premiums sound about as good as Diamond s600s. Amp wise, I think the JL's were awesome. I would buy them again if I had the funds. Phoenix Gold, Zapco, Arc Audio make very quality amps as well.
