Lanzar Opti Series - Let's post real benchs and tests!

[dan1234 10+ year member]

I'll probably be getting 2 Lanzar amp's(one for mono and one for stereo).. Yeah I know some of you think they're crap but whatever, thats what I can pay for right now.

Let's see if we can put together all "real" info about these and hopefully the forum won't get so many "Lanzar amps" threads //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

What do you think? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

I think they are decent amps for a good price and I am speaking from 10 years of experience.

Lanzar Opti's will put out rated power and then some (not a whole lot more, but a little).

Actually, a lot of Lanzar's amps will do rated power. Hell, here is a Vibe 1200D that did rated power + more: http://www.carsound.com/review_archive/amps/vibe1200d.html

'03 and prior they were WAY beyond "decent".

The NEW stuff, IMO, is at LEAST "decent", probably quite a bit better than decent. Time will tell.

When did they stop using Zed's design? '03?

CA&E has the opti 2000d test on their page.

I dont want to look for a link.

And what do you think about Lanzar vs. Power Acoustik?

Is Opti line better than any P.A. line?

Thanks

Lanzar > Power Acoustic

Isn't Lanzar slightly more expensive?

what is this lanzar and pyramid thing? i heard that pyramid bought out lanzar or something like it, and lanzar is now similar to pyramid junk. i do know that the old school opti drives are awesome though.

Dont diss it intill you use it...... it seems like a beast of an amp.

Sound Around bought Lanzar several years ago. Sound Around owns Lanzar, Pyramid, Legacy, Pyle and Blitz. Much like GM owns Cadillac, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Geo, etc.

Yeah, '04 is when the designs changed, and the new stuff is clearly not Zed.

Lanzar seems to be in not very good company //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
