I know the kenwood is pushing more watts, but I also know that that doesn't necessarily mean it's louder or better. I'm looking for loud, but I also want quality clean sound. Does anyone have any input on which is louder or which will sound better? The price, by the way, is 200 for the kenwood package and 300 for the Rockford fosgate package.
Also, a friend of mine has the kenwood package and it's nice and loud, but it sounds a little sloppy to me, mostly I'm just wondering if Rockford fosgate will sound any better. If the Rockford fosgate sounds just as good or better than the kenwood then I'd like to go with it since it doesn't use as many watts so I don't fry my alternator.
I know it's a pretty loaded question, but thanks in advance.
