Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1999 Registered: Mar-07 | if you're going to put RD in the HQ, you're also going to need Atomic and Sundown to go up there. I love my RD how about RE Audio? |

Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 257 Registered: Oct-07 | should the autotek mean machine be in high quality?? or stay in medium? |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 2157 Registered: Dec-06 | How about the Rockford Power Series? Should they be HQ? |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindWEST COAST RD AUDIO Post Number: 17971 Registered: Oct-05 | medium. same company as hifonics. |
|
Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2021 Registered: Nov-06 | X2 ^^^^^^^ Power series aint no joke and Snow i think they should stay medium they are made by maxxonics who makes Hifonics and crunch if that tells you something i mean its great budget stuff but i wouldn't consider it HQ |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids like my rhyme... Post Number: 3950 Registered: Feb-06 | rockford power series amps should be top HQ... MA should go down and atomic and adassa should go to HQ for sure... ever heard of a warlord? atomic 5000.1? do it. Also, JBL and Kicker produce high quality amps |

|
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4483 Registered: Nov-05 | eD is not really high quality, ask them about their return rate.. good amps for the money but not like the other amps in the hq list but, for HQ amps.. the following need to be added A/D/S Rainbow DLS Steg ...I'm sure I can think of a few more later on |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindWEST COAST RD AUDIO Post Number: 17974 Registered: Oct-05 | kev when you sell alot of amps like ed does, you are gonna get some returns. just like kicker and jl audio. they get returns all the time. alot of times its the user error. i agree with your list there. yes they should be added. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindWEST COAST RD AUDIO Post Number: 17976 Registered: Oct-05 | i won't rest until ed makes it to the hq list. |

Gold Member Username: ZacdavisBeloit, Wi Post Number: 1560 Registered: Dec-03 | Planet Audio is same as SPL/Power Acoustik Adassa is same as Atomic/RD Audio/Cactus Sounds This list isn't very accurate, most of it is based on "hearsay". |
|
Gold Member Username: ZacdavisBeloit, Wi Post Number: 1561 Registered: Dec-03 | actually, most of it IS accurate, but SOME of it is just hearsay. |

Gold Member Username: JkidderGunshine , State Flawda Post Number: 3184 Registered: Nov-05 | the "t" in technologies in Blade Technologies needs to be capitalized |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 3362 Registered: Mar-06 | what about Kenwood? mainly the Excelon line of amps. regular Kenwwods, budget/questionable Excelon Kenwoods, good or entry level. and hq amps, tube drive,& Butler,& Milbert Performance teknique, good/ budget |
|
Silver Member Username: BudlingCali USofA Post Number: 351 Registered: May-06 | I think directed(dei) makes hq amps as well. "Top of the line" should maybe get added as a list title for amps like McIntosh, Zapco, etc... Just my 2 pennies. |

|
Silver Member Username: TreezPost Number: 235 Registered: Aug-06 | Thanks for the suggestion Woofer, but how does one go about determining which of the HQ amps belong in the Top of the line category... Is there anyone here that has had some experience with each of the HQ amps posted... I highly doubt it..But i'm subject to correction.. Wouldn tthis move suggest that the same should be done for the other categories,such as Hu, subs and comps... Feedback welcomed..... |

Gold Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Post Number: 1012 Registered: May-07 | Kole Audio Budget/Questionable It was a good amp for the price |
|
Gold Member Username: ZacdavisBeloit, Wi Post Number: 1562 Registered: Dec-03 | haha sean i did correct myself and say most of it is accurate :D Marc has some great suggestions. Also, you guys don't think Diamond is high quality? |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1094 Registered: Aug-06 | were does american bass fall |
|
Gold Member Username: ZacdavisBeloit, Wi Post Number: 1564 Registered: Dec-03 | Well considering American bass is the same as RD Audio Sundown I would say High quality haha. I think Entry level and High quality should be combined to one list for a total of three categories. Good Budget Avoid |
