why the beef with power acoustik?

[cha0 10+ year member]

Well im just getting into car audio and my cousin KNOWS VERY LITTLE BUT HAS ALWAYS HAD SUBS IN HIS CAR SINCE HE COULD DRIVE. (****in caps...) well he really loves PA for some reason. well when i got on this forum to try and read and learn as much as i could i see EVERYONE bashes PA. i was just wondering why everyone dislikes them?

the only other specific question i have is why there stuff is rated so high? he has a 10 inch fubar series and its rated at like 1200 watts RMS. i keep telling him that you cant get an actual 1200 watt RMS sub for 70 bucks (from what ive learned) but he keeps telling me thats righ. i was just curious, thanks in advance for the insite.

Because that's how they sell to people like your cousin.

Because they have a harsh sound thats not very musical. Their amps are overated. And they have an ugly apperance.

their subs sound like ass, but most people are pretty fond of their amps. good power for the $$

there subs are lame, but for the $$, there amps are decent.

i think they are a more respectable brand in the budget range. the new 25th anniversary amps arent that bad looking.

didn't they discontinue them already? anyways, you can still get them from woofersetc....or ebay. Personally i'd go for a jbl
