lanman31337 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'll break you guys down on a brief history. Back in the 80's and early 90's Lanzar used to be good. Amps were built in the Zed build house up until 2000, when Lanzar was bought by SoundAround. As most of you know SoundAround is Pyramid, Pyle, and Legacy, and now Lanzar. For a while the Lanzar gear was about the same quality as your other three companies. In about 2006 Lanzar started making the Optidrive line. Now it's not from the Zed build house anymore, however, the Optidrive monoblocks have been proven to be under rated, and the subs I have are definitely under rated as well. I'm 31 and have been doing car audio since before I was able to drive. My uncles were into it and I was doing builds in the mid 80's with them with some crazy amount of woofers off of astounding 800 watts. So those who say yuck to Lanzar, have you ever heard the gear? 2 - Audiopipe AP30001Ds 1 - Lanzar Opti Scion 600.4 4 - Lanzar Optidrive 1232D's 1 - Lanzar Opti 5.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6C midbass 1 - Alphasonic PCT6551 1 - Lanzar VX830 1 - JBL 22 band EQ 1 - Lanzar SDBT75NU 1 - AudioControl Epic160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cr@sh Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 My biggest thing is heresay is crap, post pics of a test done with dmm and clamp. Then you say the amps do this or that. I have argued this about the hifonics amps. This way no one can say bullcrap if you show your work and prove what you claim, just my two cents. My old install at cardomain, never finished!

Andrew2944r Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Lanzar back in the hay day of car audio was great along with many other companies such as Orion, Crunch, Hollywood, Earthquake, but honestly anything associated with pyle, pyramid and so on isnt worth the time anymore, even though the OPTI1233D 12's look to be some beefy little suckers. I dont usually see to many people hating on Lanzar though, but you dont see to many real Audio enthusiast running it either.

lanman31337 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 It's been proven again and again that the Opti 4k will do over 4000 watts at 12 volts, and the opti 6000d can do 6800 watts at 14 volts. Not a whole lotta people have tried the subs or components, I have 2 sets of the components and they sound good and take a good bit of power. Same with the subs. As long as you're not clipping, they last. My subs are 3 years old now, no problems. 2 - Audiopipe AP30001Ds 1 - Lanzar Opti Scion 600.4 4 - Lanzar Optidrive 1232D's 1 - Lanzar Opti 5.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6C midbass 1 - Alphasonic PCT6551 1 - Lanzar VX830 1 - JBL 22 band EQ 1 - Lanzar SDBT75NU 1 - AudioControl Epic160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierdguy75 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I run 4 max pro 15" subs, they arent too bad at all. Never messed around with the amps but heard they are pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade916 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 i didnt know so many people were hating on them that there had to be a post about it LOL.. isnt it almost the exact same amp as a SS xxx6500 amp? actually from this pics i got off TP, it IS the exact same amp. pretty sloppy but i guess if it works thats all that matters.....whats a 6500 doing at 14v these days, i have no idea - whatever IT is doing, judging by the pics, the lanzar is prob doing the same.

redbaron80 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 There was a Lanzar van going around to shows in Cali with 8 15's walled ( DEMO VAN ) that looked great and did 155 music all day, on the mic (TL), back in 2006.

They are just about the same boards Steve, with some minor differences. The Opti 4000D is good to about 16 volt, the xxx6500 is good to 18 or 20 volt, one of the two. The opti 6kd is good to about the same, same board as the xxx10000. The opti, up until rated voltage, does more power at the same voltage than the XXX series. Where the Soundstreams shine are on 16 volt systems, and Optis are great on 12 volt systems. 2 - Audiopipe AP30001Ds 1 - Lanzar Opti Scion 600.4 4 - Lanzar Optidrive 1232D's 1 - Lanzar Opti 5.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6C midbass 1 - Alphasonic PCT6551 1 - Lanzar VX830 1 - JBL 22 band EQ 1 - Lanzar SDBT75NU 1 - AudioControl Epic160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
