I would say No. They used to be pretty good back in the 80's & early 90's but were only known for head units. When they started making speakers, subs and amps everything went down hill.
If you want clean bass- stick with brands like JL AUDIO, Image Dynamics (IDMAX series), or Diamond Audio Pro Hex series. I have used JL and my personal favorite MB Quart in my previous competition systems and I was very pleased with the sound quality and output levels.

I agree, JL Audio for subwoofers by all means. MB Quart or Infinity for the car's regular speakers... if you are thinking of a new headunit, I strongly recommend Kenwood Excelon. Also, the kenwood amplifiers are fantastic - avoid Blaupunkt amps at all cost.

I don't understand why people would change their head unit on new cars. Channing head units is for older tunning 90's early 2000 cars.
