Tisk Tisk some folks will never learn, you can buy the best equipment and still be slaped around by inexpensive product like audiopipe. A local guy here spent $3000 on a hifonics 2600 watt amp and four 15's and only put up a 142.8. I was able to take hime with my $500 setup and one 12 and do a 143. If the system is done right even the cheapest equipment can be made to work really well. I'm sure for higher db's higher quality equipment would be prefer. But there again i've seen some nice numbers from inexpensive.
