Remember these?

that isnt my logic at all my logic is experience as an RF dealer that amp is 1 of the worst they ever made they havent made a good punch series amp since very early 90's nearly 20 yrs ago.
mainstream brands are mainstream because so many people are uninformed and yes i would use a crunch amp over a jl any day of the week. Why should I pay for a name? When I can get the same reliability and as good or better build quality for less?
Have you ever considered that YOU are the uninformed? Have you not considered that there are reasons that certain brands are more expensive than others?

JL has YEARS AND YEARS of experience, R&D, and has developed technologies that have changed the car audio industry. They back all their products, and they are reliable.

When you buy from small time amp builders you are buying from people who open JL, Rockford and Alpine amps and study them, and them build them with cheaper parts to undercut the corporation's profits with marketing schemes convincing you that the only reason you pay some $.80 per watt with JL is the name.

Its like the people who ***** that NASA spent $20,000 on a toilet seat. You have no consept of why the item cost as much as it does.

you fail to realize that you have no clue who I even am lolz

I am on the inside of this industry and have been for nearly 22 yrs.

i have worked for RF i have been a dealer for both i was a rep for several of your mainstream brands that you "think" are better so yeah i think I am qualified more than you in the matter.

and not every amp company "buys" their designs.

they are mainstream and high cost because of people like you that think "well gee they are sold everywhere they must be the best"

ill take an american designed product all day thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

kicker and rf are made side by side with DD AQ RD Hifonics ect ect ect and they in fact are using the inferior parts not the other way around //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

get the facts straight before you try to make me look like you think, as i will always win the point in case

some of the most ignorant people i've ever met were reps for car audio companies. If a company offers a better product for a better price, demand for that product increases. Show me an inferior part on a JL amp. How bout you take a look at those stetsom amps so many of you people have a boner for in here.

FWIW i wouldnt touch DD AQ or stetsom unless they were free they are the amps you were referring to unknowingly i think when u said "bought" designs

they are all copies of other amps that are in fact designed inhouse in the usa //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

JL is a name and makes a good product but i can get the same quality elsewhere for less thats the point //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

and it wont be a copy design it will be an original and JL hasnt done near as much as you think for this industry hell they are using an 8 yr old design on their w7 still because idiots are willing to pay 1000$ for it when in all reality a w6 for 400 will *** **** a w7 all day long //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
I have a punch 300x that was given to me. Maybe I should put it on my messy *** test bench and see what kind of power it can do.
that would be interesting.

I'm done arguing about cars, mainstream amps and parts, i'm justkilling time till my ebay auction ends.

BTW these sure are some shitty components... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
