only thing worth mentioning is that vibe and viberant amps are NOT the same

I don't think there's much truth to that at all.

They're aimed at the same market, use similar layouts relative to model numbers.

Priced similarly relative to power...

you just have to do some digging to get a reasonable estimate on power ratings. Almost all the max power ratings are nothing short of a bad joke, and it seems many of the numbers associated with RMS are just as misleading.

I do think Lanzar is trying to make some changes to the way they publish power ratings for their budget stuff though. For example, the web retailers still have BS ratings on the xx6 line, but if you go to the trouble of downloading the manuals there are what appear to be very accurate ratings for them.

Take the Vibe266 (viberant) --

On millionbuy it's listed at -

500x2 at 4 ohms rms, and 800x2 at 2 ohms.

With a pair of 20A fuses you know automatically that those numbers are crap.

In the manual on Lanzar's site they have -

150x2 at 4

230x2 at 2

Now THAT'S believable, and probably even pretty accurate.

And ~$130 shipped at etronics makes it a decent buy IMO.

I have heard good things about them...

The 1200D puts out rated power and then some...

Ahhh, i didn't realize they published different specs in the manuals, i've actually never had much of any luck navigating their website.

Seems like no matter what you click on, it goes to the same page, which is just a huge list of all their products in a given category, not sure why they haven't fixed that by now..........

And the 1200D's the one i've heard good things about as well, i think that's the same one that's actually inside a Boss 3000D

Tsunami & Concept had amps using virtually identical boards as well, and I believe the newer 1800D is a slightly modified version.

i had a boss3000D back in high school running a 15" L7 (2002 model) and it moved it pretty good, i would say.
