    RF are kinda mid and overpriced imo.

    It all depends on your budget/power/space requirements but generally my go to’s are JL Audio, DC Audio, Sundown, and best bang for your buck is by far NVX.

    DC/Sundown if you want some seriously loud bass (SPL). JL Audio is also a bit overpriced but you can find used W4/W6 all day for really good prices and I think they have the best mix of power and sound quality. I am personally running two NVX 8” in a ported enclosure in the spare wheel compartment in my vw alltrack off of a 500w rms amp and they get crazy loud for being only 8” and I have them tuned to about 30-32hz and they get pretty damn low and sound very good. I would recommend NVX all day, but if you can get a good price I would probably still get some JL Audio subs. Can’t go wrong with either though as long as you match it with the right size amp and box.

    Love the idea of making one! I would join. But as far as already established communities, the http://www.diymobileaudio.com/ forum is by far the best place. Really knowledgeable people and they are really nice. They’ve helped with a few of my projects.

    To answer your question, I would like to ask if you are specifically looking for a head unit running android, or just a head unit with a screen and can use android auto with your phone. If it is the latter then I would recommend kenwood or an alpine unit. If you have any questions about the specific model lmk. We can talk further based on your needs 👍

    I am really sorry that you are going through this. I really appreciate all of the people in these comments who are dispelling the myth of laziness. It’s hard not to fall into the hole of guilt and shame, and it’s something I really needed to hear right now. But to me it does sound like you are experiencing burnout, and maybe depression? I have ADHD and after about the 1 year mark I get very bored with work and it starts to take a very real toll on me so I start to under perform and it makes me feel really guilty. So I am trying to be more kind to myself and give myself some grace and acceptance.
