Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 395 Registered: Dec-05 | the old list but still works very well, and by the way JBL amps are good The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly *or* Is this brand any good?--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- These are some pretty generalized groupings and also very subjective. We've simply based our experiences with the products whether they are direct installs, personal property or extensive research. You should always physically listen to a product before purchase because you are the one who will determine whether or not an item "sounds good" or not. This topic, while being controversial, is simply a generalized guide meant for beginners in the hobby. Many brands specialize in certain items, ie. better amplifiers than speakers, better mids than subs, etc... Also almost all manufacturers offer entry level products as well as high quality lines. As I stated before, this is a GENERALIZED guide. It is your responsiblity to research and audition every brand before you purchase anything. Good luck with your decisions.
