walmart sells infinity components

Why is this such a shock? Infinity is nothing great, I would rate them one step above sony speakers and they sell them every where else so why not wal-mart.

I agree but some of their older stuff was a little bit better than what they have now.

Those are very smart companies that are going into Walmart... the money is in volume sales.

What is the deal with lightning audio? Ive heard its from TC sounds but you also see it at wal mart? I am assuming different brands?

I believe tc sounds builds the x1 and x2 the 1000 rms ones I know they have the same motor

To the guy that said "so what, it will still be a good company"
You must of not kept up with alpine and eclipse ever since they went to "big box" stores. As the ammount of products a company produces goes up, the quality of the product goes down. The new alpine stuff is pretty much garbage. The HU's lack features, and they look and feel cheap. The only thing that I haven't played with is the New alpine imprint deck. Which hasn't been released yet.

This doesn't surprise me at all...Infinity isn't that nice and they have already been sold through a larger store (see Circuit City)

not surprising at all.

Kicker's at CC... and since Kicker arrived there, we've seen new models of the Comp, CVR, L5, L7, SoloX, ZX amps, new DS, KS and RS speakers, the introduction of the CVT and CVX.... All of which are inarguably a step above or at least on par with their predecessors...

There are always exceptions //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Lightning audio has low-end and high-end stuff. Bolt = crap, strike and storm = win

Lightning Audio is a Rockford Fosgate co. I believe.

I think the amps are built by RF, but at least one line of subs was built by TC Sounds. not sure about their entire lineup, but I know the Bolt series sucks. It was Bolt series stuff that Wally World put in the "Fast and Furious" branded subwoofer package a few years back.
