"name" brands...

[mtxmann 10+ year member]

There are so many different manufac. out there. Why is it that none of you guys either like, or refer to some of the more "mainstream" ones. Boston Acoustics, Polk Audio, MTX, Alpine, Cerwin Vega, Orion...... I dont know if i am retarted, but alot of these manufactures seem to make some quality stuff. If you disagree, well, why??

For most people, it's a matter of cost vs performance.

I loved my Polk Momo amp that ran my mids/highs. It had plenty of power, took tons of abuse, and had very nice crossovers. But, if you were to ask me to pay close to $350 for it, I would turn that offer down and go with something else.

No sir, you aren't retarded... lol jp. I have used Alpine stuff and tbh I like it quite a bit (amp's wise)

I guess I liked their small amps, as I first started in a standard cab 93 nissan pickup....so space was always scarce.

Some name brands hold their resale value when you want to upgrade better than most of the no-name internet brands.

Priced an old Zapco or PPI Art amp recently?
