Hello everyone, I can't contain myself to give my opinion about this post, I'm from the country of Panama, located in central America, and I am Authorized dealer of US Amps and RE Audio, my place is called Eminent Car Audio, you can check it on the reaudio's page... Well, I used a lot of amplifiers, audiopipe, hifonics, kenwood, pioneer, rockford, kicker... a lot! but let me tell you all something, By the comparation of this 2 brand(Audiopipe & the merlin) i can tell that Merlin is superior in every aspects, and the experiences that i had with audiopipe is **** compared with other brands, i don't know your experiences... I'm new on this forum... just my little opinion...
