I can understand brand loyalty, I myself have had problems with everything audio for my cars other than Alpine so therefore going forward I will only buy Alpine, but that's just me. Needless to say the douchebaggery in that thread is nuts.

That due wants to keep it going... hahahaha
I mean come on now. Theres nothing wrong with old RF stuff, I love it. I love old equipment. Thats the problem though, its old. Its gettign harder to find good quality stuff from back in the heyday.
This dude takes the cake though. Calling a product junk just based off a price.
I guess I could of told them its a $600 amp and then it would of been "good". I mean it would have to because its expensive, right?

i dont know much about audio equipment. but i put full faith into ryan since he has ALOT more experience with audio equipment, whats cheap and whats good. and american bass products are cheap... but thats because ryan give us good prices i'm sure. if i could buy that equipment at other stores, it's probably alot more expensive.
but basically. thanks for all the audio advice ryan. he's just ignorant.

I think I'm missing parts of this situation. The only price I see is the $899 subwoofer. The other links don't show pricing.
I'm not noticing the "rofl" worthy part. What is so funny about the responses you have?

Ya they went thru edited stuff and deleted stuff.
Basically teh Brian Esser guy said that any amp thats $200 for 1,000 WRMS is junk. Then he proceed to support that argument with comments like cheap Chinese junk, I sound like a flea market salesman, New RF equipment is better and so forth.
I told him hes as ignorant as it comes to call something junk without even looking at it at least. He doesnt have a clue what it is, but its junk!
lol
Evidently after I ripped him a new one someone cried to have the offending posts cleaned up. What a wussy.

Hell lanzar 10 I got 4 yrs ago or so thought was junk but were cheap. Been in girls car for 3yrs and been abused and there still golden. People can't believe for one it's lanzar and 2 there 10s. Think paid 60 bucks for the pair new. Amps though yeah I bought the crap brands they worked for awhile. The 1000d amp I had was a beast so was zapco. And never had a problem out of a keenwood amp. Some subs will susprize you but I'd stick with "name brand" amps from my experence.
