Default Polk or Infinity

Ok guys I will be doing a new install in one of my cars but not the vette, and its either Infinity or Polk becuase I get deep discounts on both brands. As far as amps and speakers which do you find to be a higher quality. Thanks guys

My current thoughts were Polk DB components and Polk DB coaxials run of the polk 4 channel and then the polk mono block and 2 momo 12's

I am actually not a big fan of either of those brands. But this years model Infinity speakers and subs I would have to say is pretty good. I don't believe Infinity makes amps, so they your choice easier.

Yes, Infinity makes amps (for about 3 years now?). Actually, I think they are rebadged JBL amps which is not bad.

I think you'll be happy with either choice. Either one of those is much better than the stock Blose

If you prefer "bright" highs I would recommend Infinity over Polk ... their perfect line is pretty nice.

I am pretty set on components cause I hate the infinitys they are way to harsh as i currently have them, and the Polks are much warmer and I like them. I have heard that the infinitys amps overheat alot they arent quite jbls rebadged although they are close. I think I will be going with polk amps and subs then unless anyone else has more input... thanks guys
