Consensus on Sound Ordinance?

[Driv3]

The good the bad and the ugly. I haven't seen and "official thread" on them. The amps themselves look snazzy and the reviews seem to match but the price doesn't! it's relatively low, understandable because it's a new brand, specifically crutchfield's, and as many know, crutchfield isn't notoriously known for cheap prices. I can understand if it is their brand though, they get to cut out the middle man price. The real reason im here is for fully biased reviews. Anyone have anything on the company? own an amp? share an anecdote? Looking for a new little 4 channel on the cheap

Crutchfield is virtually unmatched for online customer service. Sound Ordnance is their house brand. Most people don't buy Sound Ordnance simply for the product. You're buying it for the whole Crutchfield customer care experience. Anyone can sell a small 4 channel amp for cheap. We sell them, other vendors sell them, they're everywhere.

I have a pair of their 6x9 coaxial speakers in my front doors, for the price and the standard 3 year warrentee, they are not bad, and they produce a decent sound. And also, as stated before, their customer service is above par.

It depends on your goals. I put one of the self-powered SO bandpass units in my son's civic and it sounds great and has been running over 2 years with no problems, BUT he is not trying to win SPL contests, not trying to win SQ comps and not trying to annoy the neighbors or get arrested.

I consider SO an entry level 'value' line and for the money you could do a lot worse.

Lol. It's Crutchfield's exclusive "house brand".

I bought the 6 3/4 inch speakers to replace the factory speakers in my Honda Accord with “premium “ sound. Huge upgrade. Highly recommend. They have excellent midrange as well as highs

For the price, they are hard to beat. I actually like their components. Haven't tried their amps, but seem to be pretty solid for the price

They make auto speakers and subwoofers. Subwoofers can result in noise violations. Connect the dots.

Its “ordnance” as in military hardware/munitions. Not “ordinance” as in municipal/police codes. So…no dots to connect there.

It's useless, our local city passed a 600ft ordinance about 25yr ago. Now the bass heads roll around rattling dishes at all hours of the day.

I guess they're not running sound ordnance gear is my best guess...
