Ok, I know Sony, Jensen, Pyramid, Optimus, Legacy, and Audio Vox are all brands to stay away from. Any others that are hunks of sh*t? Is Pyle or Boss any good? I doubt it
then dont make technical comparissions if you dont know how it works why it works why it breaks (hehee) then you shouldnt be making an educated guess or advice if you dont know what this or that means. plain and simple without the tech you the consumer gets no treat. sorta reminds me of customers that ask will this amp push a pair of 12's ,you say yes, week later he comes back saying you dont know sh!t cause the amp blew....we go outside look at this joke of an install -ghetto tech- look at the subs we see 2 10's 2 12's and a 15 ( the tens are floppin on their backs in truck boxxes...the 12's are in a real crappy prefab box with the horns takin out to make a "port" and the 15 is not even in a box....look at the wires they all tie in pos to pos neg to neg into 2 lines tied up very ghetto with tape....i said well looks like you have more than 2 woofers here to me installed very badly and you were running it at an impedence that the amp cant handle...he says you never said i couldnt hook up more than that..i return fire "guess you should have read your manual huh?" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif i let it go through warranty one time after i talked to kenwood so i took care of him but just shows you how people areOriginally posted by StallionAudio hey audiolife, i don't know if your referring to me about "cutting and pasting specs like slew rate flutter" but most people in the forum dont know how to compare products in any other way. Your prob one of the most learned guys in here it seems, so you obviously care, but the technicalities of these products and how they actually work do not mean dick to some people! And yes, the source of the sound, the deck, is what truely matters. The sound is produced there so if you got **** for a deck then your gonna have **** sound. A great amp on a **** deck = **** sound. When one talks broadly about products, defects and random occurances (like your alpines) cannot be predicted so a prod. could get a bad rap w/ some b/c of it. I'm not startin anything, just tryin to set some stuff strait.
Whew...I am not getting in on this arguement, it looks like the min. amount of words is 300...well, this will be the start of a debate...you are right though this is a good place to learn, share opinions and help...Originally posted by StallionAudio now your just gettin way off base here. first of all I've never nor would i ever hook up a ghetto rig b/c I'm not a ghetto tech as you put it. I have a genuine interest in car audio, have had for over 5 years. In fact, thats what I'm goin to college for, to be an electrical engineer and design new car audio products. So to say to me that i dont know anythin about this is pretty **** offensive. Especially when I DO KNOW, not all but I'm learnin, and I have done more than my fair share of installs myself. I would not have the audacity (spelling?) to give advice on something that I am not qualified to do so on, unlike many of the other members in this forum. So before you go makin assumptions, ask before you go shittin on people. I'm not at your level obviously, but I know more about this stuff than most people my age. This isn't a sob story, just lookin for a little understanding and respect. I'm just here to learn more, share opinions and help where i can, which is just as much if not more than most.
