Re: Amps n' such...

2004-05-26 by Kevin Richard

My concern with car audio is that it's no where near the level 
of "pro" audio... it's designed to basically go into the confines of 
a car where it is pretty tight where as this will have to carry the 
sounds in a more open room... maybe I'm wrong but I'm trying to 
remember demo'ing anything decent at like best buy or circuit city in 
the car audio department... I don't thing the stuff is that 
impressive, not for the money... to get true power you have to pay 
for premium gear with car audio they dont' seem to have a very strict 
rules to rating amps and such.  Once you look at spending that kind 
of money you might as well get some good pro gear designed for what 
you are doing :(

I'll let you know how it goes though!
