All of them pretty much fall under the same category as Boss and Pyramid. They are sold at flea markets to hood rats that don't care about how something sounds, as long as it shakes the hell out of a trunk. I've had decent luck with TView monitors. Matter of fact I have a 7" Tview monitor in the van right now. Real decent for the price (I won it at an event).
Logic SoundLabs are alright. I have ran a lot of their older stuff and did not have any problems. However, they are not anywhere near what you'd want to compete. (just a warning there).
SoundStorm is the same as Boss Audio.
Pyle used to be pretty good, now they are p.o.s.
Volfenhaq. Never had any equipment form them, but have installed and heard quite a bit. Not entirely impressed.
MA Audio. Higher end stuff is good. What is being sold in that catalog is probably what you'd see at a flea market though.
Honestly.... If I was you, I'd save and get something a step up from what you'd see in a flea market. If you don't, well, you'll be asking, later down the road, why you keep getting walked over by your friends stereo. (seen it, done it, been there, hated it, trying to save you a headache).
And this is my opinion. It does not reflect the opinions and SMD forum and/or it's members.
Thanks man, I kinda figured that so thats why I was running it by you guys.
Would RE, US amps, MTX, and Pioneer be the only things worth it?

whats up people just got through readin a bunch of posts on here(bumping etiquette post caught my eye) and just thought i would ask how do you know when you have average bass or when you graduated to rediculous bass. and also how to achieve it.
You listen to Steve's Tahoe, and then you realize you have weak bass
-
What are you looking to get, head unit, amp, subs, speakers? All different brands are different for each item they make/sell.
Well they have RE subs
so I'd say I'm looking for amp/s. -
most of those subs i've seen spanish people use on Youtube (no offense).
But they dont even seem that good from the looks of the video's
Lanzar
Audiopipe
Volfenhag
MA Audio
are my choices, not good put i think decent
Thats funny because the company is based in southern texas

My friend gave me this catalog from his dad's work and it had a bunch of audio stuff. He said he could get anything for half price and I thought it would be all crappy brands. There was some good brands (MTX, RE, Pioneer, US Amps) but there were also a lot of brands I have never heard of. Could you tell me if these brands are good or bad please?
SPL
AL Audio
Logic Soundlab
Soundstorm Labs
Lanzar
Audiopipe
Volfenhag
Nitro
MA Audio
Kole Audio
Visonik
Pyle
Legacy
Blaupunkt
Clarion
XXX
Matrix
Phase Linear
American Pro
Tview

and/or be careful to what site your attend too..
yeah Mac arent perfect, but they are hella a lot better then PC.. IMO that is..
Macs are less susceptible to viruses, because most are written for PCs. But it is also a lot of how careful you are. I have a PC and I have no virus software and I have never had a virus
.Just keep it safe

Buy your porn don't pirate it!!!

wow, thats gay lol...
Literally!

Well I've heard that someone (sorry I forgot who) is making a tire that you can drive for like 10 miles or so on a flat tire. So you might not need a spare with those puppies.
I know they are working on extra smooth airless tires, but you probably wont have this car by the time they come out =P
-
sorry man. even after college i still cant spell for shit.
Haha don't worry about it, i just thought it was funny. I cant spell for shit either... =/
-
sorry man. i can get very technical at times. i actually did a 35 page paper in school on how to find to cosign of a number.
Haha.
No offense but you think if you did a 35 page paper about it you would know it was spelled Cosine..... =P
But that technical term is about the best way to put it.
-
well the infinity's are pretty dang good quality, but just don't touch on the loudness. and they barely move. I have just as many speakers as they do as well, except my mom's cuz she has harmon kardons with the mids and the mid bass.
Are they hooked right up to your deck or are they going through a seperate amp?
-
yes. i am looking for the thread on diyma that shows how it works. give me some time to find it.
btw in a car you are really converting twice. from AC(inside the alty) to DC(to battery and then to amp) back to AC(out your amp)
Thanks, thats what I thought but I wasn't 100% sure.

Parrallel two 1 ohm woofers, and what do you get? A (theoretical) load of half an ohm. Parrallel two 8 ohm woofers and you get a four ohm impedance, which can be paralleled again with another two 8 ohm woofers to give you (around) 2 ohm. That's four bins off one channel. PA Amplification is designed to run multiple cabs off a single channel or amplifier to maximise usage from minimal power.
Also, a true high-power amplifier such as the Crown MA5000Vz is absolutely MASSIVE in power supply size and in terms of the number of transistors per channel. My largest amplifier personally is a Peavey PV Series PV3800. It delivers 1300watts continously per channel at 4 ohms. To do so, it has 13 power transistors each side, with a power supply drawing 2980w (240v, 12.41A). Drive it at 2 ohm a side, it complains. Drive it at 1 ohm a side, BANG BANG BANG x 26. Understandable as the amplifier tries to draw a good 20A plus off a 240v feed. Not good.
Car audio woofers are designed at a low impedance to get a metric dickton of power. You can happily throw 3k+ to some woofers, individually. And it is not rare to see people throwing 2k+ a coil on these drivers. The only drivers that I have ever come across in my field that can remotely and briefely handle that sort of insane power are the Peavey LowRider, ProRider (to some extent), the higher end JBL array drivers, the EV Array Drivers and the P.Audio woofers. I am sure that there are more, but still a few out of thousands.
All in all, it boils down to cleaner power that is easier to supply and more useful in terms of multiple driver arrays. It's great when we can run 8 NeXO Geo-s cabs a side off one Lab.Gruppen IP6400. And yes, you CAN here the difference between an amplifier run at 8 ohm and at 2 ohm. To many it's not audible, to some it's ear splitting.
And Bigpimpin, it is much easier to convert AC to DC. Four diodes and a capacitor will get you a smooth DC feed from a dirty or inconsistent AC feed.
Cheers,
Mick
So are the drivers that run at the higher impedances more efficient so they can get louder off lower wattage but great ohms?
-
cheap power....
So its just that they can make those cheaper?
And the power issue with in the wall socket.
They also don't sound QUITE as good though would they?
-
I have always been wondering this and just thought of asking.
Why is it that sub woofers for cars are rated at like 1 or 2 ohms and PA subs for just about everything else are rates 4 and up?
What about the High/Low impedance makes them more suited for each of their tasks?
-
Look up Dizzler, you can even put it on your iGoogle page.
-
it didn't give me the option...and eventually vista will get good...I remember when xp sucked balls and it definitely became great over time...there will be service packs and vista will suffice (least I hope)
If I'm not mistaken Microsoft told all the companies to stop selling XP with new computers since Vista came out.
Oh and Tub Asko that website is so badass
-
For what you are needing it for I think that that looks great!
Nice big drive for all your "downloads".... what ever those may be. =P
And I personally like Dell, they have good cheap systems for the average person.

Well with my Krzr I had to get the software on it upgraded. Maybe the Razr needs to get software upgrades to? Or is it just the Krzr? Cause mine froze, shut off and started back up before I had it upgraded. Other than that your gonna probably have to take it to your Dealer and have them look at it.
Yea I think Ill just bring it in, thanks dude.
-
My best bet would be is the phone is shot like you suggested at first. By chance did it take a bath at all?
Nope, I was just using It and then I got a message. MY phone froze, shut off, and then it started doing this.... =/
I bet it is, I really only care becasue it has some numbers in it =/
-
Well I got a MotoKrzr. It only does that when my battery is completely dead, and I mean COMPLETELY dead. Like when it dies cause I don't like charging it it'll shut off then when i go to turn it back on the keypad will flash like you said and it just won't turn on, like you said. Hopefully problem solved! Does it even charge or have you tried that yet?
It doesnt do anything when I plug it in =/.
Also it keeps flashing until I take the battery out, not just once.
-
I have a Motorazr v3t and when i turn it on the lights on the keypad just flash. ITs not the battery so do you think the phone is shot?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

anyone live in Wisconsin??
or semi close to it like minnesota?
i wana meet someone from here!!! and chill
haha good call. I'm over in MN and I there dosent seem to be anyone around here haha
so I'd say I'm looking for amp/s.
like you suggested at first. By chance did it take a bath at all?
