Please Help me to pick a best car audio brands

hi... been easily 10 years disconnected from playing with cars in general, recently retired in sunny thailand and would love to go back to tinkering and doing stuff with audio. Now it's not like all brands are available here when compared to the UK... but there are a few

I'm so lost hah. I ofc know all the OGs from the 70s onwards but some of them are now chinese owned? A/D/S used to be the **** now not so sure according to some sources.

I was looking on the pinned threads but theyre all 2011 and so on... googled car audio brands only some forums with also older info and this Top 10 Car Audio System Brands – Expert Review Blog monstruous list I haven't fully gone through yet.. I definitely don't know like... 50% of the brands on it..

I used to run the "posh" stuff, morel, focal etc... seems like those guys have kept their quality up though.

thanks for the tips

TM.
 
You need to narrow this down a LOT by listing what you think you'd want and asking opinions of the listed components.

You also need to list what you mean by best. $3000 tweeters may be best but if that's not in your budget it does no good. Give a total budget and then list the components that you want to spend the most on.
 
Some brand can be good but better to discuss about single component.
I don't follow recent production because i love old school components, i think possible to find the right product between new or used pieces.
Like suggest from Perry the budget is starting point, and you can propose some models to talk about.
