Can someboday answer this for me...

I don't want to be a hater or anything, but there is something that I absolutely hate about some Car audio forums...why do people say all this great stuff about products that haven't even come out yet from small companies that have not established a reputation?? Like, "owe this amp is gonna blow that amp from JL audio out of the water" ...and this company doesn't even have a track record. So I see people say they are ordering these products and waiting a year for something that they have no proof that will be quality???

...I don't get it?

I also wonder that.

"This new amp from (insert mystery amp manufacturer) is going to put out a clean 1000 watts at 4 ohm, 5000 at 2 ohm, one bazillion at 1 ohm."

Riiiigggghhhttttt.

Yes, and once I amped even my Panasonic fronts they sound like totally different speakers. Now I can live with my setup until I have money for better ones. What a difference an amp can make on even sub-par speakers!

I used 12 gauge wire to my fronts from my amp which helps a lot too.

Same reason why you could put a "BMW" nameplate on a shopping cart and some dude would be happy to have it in his driveway - people are brand name ****** by nature.
