Aside from zapcos, what other brands/models have balanced line inputs? Thanx.

Logic too? I've seen their catalog and their stuff looks much better than pyramid.

Hi guys, I've been offered local distribution rights for these brands (DTI, Dual, Logic). I've been offered good deals, but I've never heard of these brands or seen their equipment before. I have the feeling that DTI and Dual are of Pyle or Pyramid-like quality, perhaps a bit better, and that...

sounds like ebay

Yeah alpine is better. what's your component budget? Yes definetely get an amp, you'll appreciate it. Those HUs probably can't pump more than 20 watts per channel, and that's with distortion. like someone said above, a civic isn't that big and the separation between cabin and trunk isn't...

I had the MEX-5di, sony's top of the line predecessor to the other colored screen HUs they have. Got it "cheap" for $650. Compared to eclipse it sounds like an *** farting into a broken toilet. Forget sony, for that money you can easily get an eclipse 8454. If you can't get eclipse where you...

If you want a prettier HU, go alpine. If you want SQ, go Eclipse.

???? That's 800w PEAK. We're talking about RMS power dissipation here. And I wouldn't even hook those up to 50 wrms. Titanus

You forgot the Funky Pups :thumbsup

I've always heard that companies make their speakers be able to AT LEAST withstand their recommended wattage rating for long periods of time, but usually can withstand a bit more, just to be on the safe side. However, giving them over twice their recommended max wattage sounds like a surefire...

Complete junk would be a compliment. Titanus

Ask your salesman that if he thinks eclipse is the best head unit on the market then where does that leave Denon, McIntosh and Nakamichi, to name a few? Eclipse is an EXCELLENT brand, mind you, but an audiophile won't chose it over any of the ones I just mentioned. In general terms eclipse is...

Off the top of my head the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter did a good job of sticking to the original.

Gain is not the amps' "volume control" - it has to be set to match the HU's output voltage so as to avoid clipping and distortion. Some people set it by ear, but if you can get your hands on a multimeter you could do it mathematically - you can probably find a how-to guide by doing a search (I...

I think it was a great movie, and a truly bastardized, *****d and miserable interpretation of the original literary work. I think I would have enjoyed it twice as much as I did had I not read the Illiad and known that Homer was screaming in his grave. And yeah, watching pu$$y a$$ prince paris...
