Wow, thank you for that!The company was founded in germany - they used to do a lot of "high end" oem installs for porsche, bmw etc. IIRC Blaupunkt means Blue Point in German.They were a long time subsidiary of the bosch group.
I used their HU's for over 10 yrs and was never disappointed. That consisted of 3 or 4 different units, all among Blau's lower end.
I recently replaced an $80 Blau with a $200 eclipse and wasn't blown away by any means.
Their aftermarket stuff is generally average. It's definitely not Pyle/Pyramid/Boss garbage, but it's not Alpine or JL either.
They made some noise a few years ago when they released their PA line of amps using class T topology. They were VERY small and efficient, but eventually got a rep as not being very reliable. That's about the last time they were "popular".
In 09 they were sold by Bosch and I haven't seen much out of them recently.
I would expect Blau's worst stuff is better than Boss's best.
I'd offer him $20 just to have it as an interesting piece to my collection. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Yeah I couldn't read the picture too well. Its hard finding the right info on this one, cuzThe model number is right on the picture gta4100bFrom what I can find it's 100x4 at 4 and such 320x2 blah blah
they always have a blue dot on their stuff...or I assumed it was a dot...maybe its a point....Well in google translator both blue dot and blue point translate to "blauer punkt" so who knows. Their logo is a blue dot if I'm not mistaken
