How much of a difference does price make?


Recommended Posts

im reading this thread and seeing so many people putting brands like hi-fonics in a category other "sub-par". All i can picture are amps with yellow labels that save "supper" amp, or "Wattz" or "maxx". And yes, i typed supper, not super, because i have seen that done.

Translating from Mandarin is hard sometimes!

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

:shtf: lolz on the real though, i love my C2 audio Threatcon 2 12'' considering the price. I beat on it wide open on my 3.5 hr trip to and from school and it just laughs at my audiopoopz ap1500. I can see myself going with the C2 brand again in the future if they stick around lol

oh and this thread = :deadhorse: good day folks!

Well I think I've gotten everything I can get out of this post. Thank ya'll for your replies. Basically what I've concluded is that, yes indeed, junk brands are worse than average brands. But I've also learned that there are many underground brands that trump or do as well as the high end brands but at a fraction of the cost.

At this point this thread is becoming a flame war for peoples' favorite brand-names. Honestly, I don't care if you think alpine is crap and rf is the best ever. Choosing between specific brands is silly, especially when almost all brands worth a crap are cea complaint. You can't pretend someone makes better subs if all the subs work as stated. You can only say an individual sub has better specs or an individual sub has a lower price for the same specs as another.

Anyways, once again thanks for the replies. Feel free to add anything if you think you got something, but other than that, I think I've basically gotten everything out of this that I'm gonna get.

Subs = 2x Rockford Fosgate p110's in custom ported box

Amp = Rockford Fosgate 451s (115 watts rms x 2 into 4 ohms)

Rear = Sony xplod 6.5 coaxials (they were on clearance at target :D )

Front = Soundstorm 6.5's

Wire = some 8 gauge crap my friend gave me

head unit = an older alpine

I'M POOR OK :(

If you think a brand has to be cea compliant to be "worth a crap" you got nothing out of this thread.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
