the old list but still works very well, and by the way JBL amps are good
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly *or* Is this brand any good?--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
These are some pretty generalized groupings and also very subjective. We've simply based our experiences with the products whether they are direct installs, personal property or extensive research. You should always physically listen to a product before purchase because you are the one who will determine whether or not an item "sounds good" or not.
This topic, while being controversial, is simply a generalized guide meant for beginners in the hobby. Many brands specialize in certain items, ie. better amplifiers than speakers, better mids than subs, etc... Also almost all manufacturers offer entry level products as well as high quality lines. As I stated before, this is a GENERALIZED guide. It is your responsiblity to research and audition every brand before you purchase anything. Good luck with your decisions.
We've broken this section into 4 catagories:
1: Bad
2: Questionable
3: Good
4: Highly Recommended

You need two ohm right? Check out the Kicker 2500.1 around $600. Whats the matter Logan wouldn't you recommend Lanzar to all of your buddies? |

No. It was a joke logan. NEVER NEVER buy Lanzar. Try this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Orion-2500d-amp-Wcc-D5000-amp-5000-watt-FREE-SHIPPING_W0QQit emZ9711819173QQcategoryZ18797QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
This will leave you room to upgrade the speakers later if you want. |
