[QUOTE="shizzzon, post: 8333665, member: 590338"] You know mainstream isn't the best but there are better such as....... Mainstream? lol.. That doesn't make sense. There are only a handful of buildhouses that are good and then out of those, the brands who pay to get it built right. CT Sounds was not one of them but appears to be slowly doing better. There was a mass liquidation of their products, over $150,000 worth at monstrous savings to the customer as it was sold direct to customer so no brand markup. CT Sounds lied about some of thier higher powered amps being durable in certain circumstances whereas the buildhouse told them not to say that but they did anyways. Then guess what, many amplifiers died because of false specifications. "Supposedly", they changed buildhouses for better quality. While the customer will never know the real reason, CT Sounds left the buildhouse with a load of inventory they never paid so everyone has been paying WAY below street price for them. Because of this recent fiasco, it leaves questions in people's minds whether CT Sounds is financially and morally capable of making business decisions. Because of this incident, a few buildhouses have now viewed the United States business as "shady" and demand money up front now with much less "friend to friend" business. CT Sounds recognition is only shown by the buildhouses who build them and not who imports them. That leaves much in question as they continue to hop to another buildhouse. Now, in terms of brands, there are over 300 brands of car audio. There is no best as best covers many topics and no single company has the best of everything. There is performance cost innovation uniqueness customer service warranty cosmetics competition focused durability [/QUOTE]
