Lanzar's cheap stuff is good on a budget IMO - it's just that you really have to know what you're getting when it comes to cost vs. power because the pwr ratings on the non-Optidrive stuff has gone to hell over the past couple years. I hate to say it, but simply because of the ridiculous ratings I'd probably have to recommend a Power Acoustik OR a Sony before a Lanzar Vibe/Viberant/Heritage FWIW - I've owned more than one lanzar Vibe, one Power Acoustik Gothic, and currently own 2 Lanzar Optidrives. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 5431 Registered: Nov-04 | If you're on a tight budget, why not give Hifonics or Audiobahn a try? I've used and tested Jensen in the past, and it wasn't a bad amp. I still have it. Somehow, it never died on me. It was overloaded, over driven, in cold weather, humid summer days, and still working. Not bad for the cheap price I paid. I wouldn't recommend them though, unless it's the model I have. |

Post Number: 7073 Registered: Jul-05 | my bro has 3 power acoustik amps running daily about 6yrs now - OVERrated in actual power YES but 2 me they r durable cause they never broke down on him as yet . But like Isaac said - y not try Hifonics which is better than both & close 2 the same price & i also suggest MB Quart amps which i own 1 of them 1http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductReview.aspx?ProductID=14965 & its very good & now theor prices r coming down even lower ........ |
