Based on a thread a "Noob" started, I thought I would throw this out there and hopefully compile a list of Trusted Brands / Budget Brands that are decent but may be a bit overrated /Junk Brands.

Geez there used to be so many more junk brands going to need some help with that list
some of your list is really off...lol you need to know what models is all...
hifonics has its models to be trusted and ones i wouldnt pay a dollar for but they are way more budget than junk...
your mb quartz has its models... too i feel more junk than budget nowadays...
american bass a budget amp...lmfao... they vfl series will he-man pimp slap most on your trusted list... and do it at .5ohms... lol
pioneer on your trusted list ... for what a head unit... lol champion series on pair with SA other than that...
jbl has its series rest is meh at best...
some of these brands your naming all had their time... but your naming brands that have been around for decades... alot are hit or miss... i always check bench tests... you would be better off asking for models that are trusted...
you got infinity on your trusted list but ill run a hifonics BRZ before i run anything infinity..
ive never even heard of twisted or brutal sounds...lol
for the most part thats a decent list... memphis is hit or miss too...
and how did KICKER not make the list my kx2500 did **** near 3k... its all about the model....
