Lightning Audio was a sole propietary company before Rockford Corp bought it. Lightning Audio has had 2 and 1 ohm stable amps for 3 years now. It's called the Storm series and we have never had a failure on the Storm series. As far as where it is distributed is simple, it is called Marketing 101. Go back to school and study it and you will find that where the line is placed is the best for it's market. This does not mean that it is second rate or inferior at all. Your favorite car audio shop cannot carry all the lines, primarily because of promises made to other manufacturers. Thus if your favorite audio shop carries 10 lines and has firm commitments to them and along comes line #11, it might be the best line in the world but will not get picked up for sale. Thus they take line #11 and sell it somewhere else.LBX2G, no offense intended at all dude, but if you are going to say things like this, make sure that you have the facts. I am not trying to jump down your throat either dude, just correcting misinformation. As a retailer of 16 years I am privy to much more information than the average consumer.As far as the Rockford isse goes, to me it sounds like a massive failure of the power supply. Where was the amp grounded to and with what guage wire. What kind of vehicle was it mounted in? Rockford has been a great company from years gone by as well. These days some of the product leaves a little to be desired. Now Marketing 101 dictates to build it like this and with these parts and hit this pricepoint. For the sub to blow this quick indicates either a massive design flaw or abuse. Before you go and reconnect your system with new replacement equipment (probably the same as you just blew), take it to a professional and have the problems found.Meaning, was the sub in the right box, was the amp clipping, was the cd player clipping. Was the ground on the amp good. It is very easy to buy all the best stuff in the world and when it fails we pronounce it inferior and would never buy it again. It is harder for some of us to find a qualified professional to find the problem and fix it and then help you understand what caused the problem in the first place and how to keep it from happening again. Take the time to find a qualified professional, to me it sounds like an installation and use issue. I hate telling a customer this, be it in person or on-line and if I am wrong, my apologies in advance. Most times I am pretty much bang on, lets see what we can find out is wrong with your gear.</blockquote>
