You noticed wrong.


I bought both my Soundsteam EXACTs 10"s for $60-$80 shipped each. I also bought one of my Diamond D5300.2s for $95 shipped brand new in box.

As for the stuff you listed, yes -- it's all crap. The only exception is older Mobile ES / XES Sony stuff -- namely the CDX-C90, C910, 7457, etc etc.

I got two Alpine Type E 12s for a hundred dollars (buy one get one free). They might not be the top of the line, but so far, I feel that they are far from bad. Only had them going for a week, but they sound great and everyone likes riding in my car now.

Just because you pay more, doesn't mean you get more, but on the flip side, you do generally get what you pay for. Every now and then, however, you can find some good deals!

All that stuff is actually useful in one way or another. Well, as long as you understand WHY you bought it in the first place

i say most of it is a waste. caps are like the spoiler on the car. its not needed, but makes the bling factor, you know?

[klaymen333]

maybe they ment things that are retail under 100 bucks...not ebay under 100 bucks

[robsatx]

pyle is just not a good name for marketing purposes?


Pyle of what?

I will say wal mart car auio section is the worst lol. they have brands i have never even heard of. Maybe its like an offical wal mart sub or amp like grocery stores have their own brand milk etc. lol.

You should check out a Best Buy...

sometimes I walk through there at work and I go "WTF? Insignia...?!"



It's a Best Buy brand.... Looks like a blatant rip off of newer-gen Alpine...


Haha, I bad-mouth the company I work for.

Autozone = Pyle, Roadmaster, Boss

WalMart = Lightning Audio, Durabrand, RoadMaster, and some kind of crappy construction paper speakers in plastic.

Best Buy = DUAL

Circuit City= Jensen

Every place has shitty shitty shit to counter balance the good stuff. Yep. There arent many places you can get fine qualities like that yep.....Good stuff.

However i do have to say the RoadMaster 6x9s i had in my car for a few months Sounded great and worked perfect although the bass was terrible.

I think your perception of "great" is just slightly-off...
