If you are looking for a low budget, ok sounding system, pyle is not a bad choice. I've used then on a couple occasions and they seem to work well.

Agreed. Pyle is a bottom feeder in the 12V world.

Meh just for humor purposes I checked your link. Nice that it boats an amazing 2 X 800 W yet uses a pair of 20Amp fuses. Wait for a thunderstorm, chase and catch the lightning and you *may* see that power for a millisecond.

I was trying to avoid posting in this thread because it makes me want to slam my head into a wall, yet here I am.

I want to be the guy with the job description of making up the ridiculous power output numbers for pyle, pyramid, lanzar, american legacy, and all the other absolute dog **** brands in car audio. Thatd be sweet.

As a matter of fact I ran a Visonik for a very short period of time when I was 16. That was the lowest I ever got. I forgot to add that one to my list above.

I guess the fact that the OP joined a year ago and still has the ***** to mention Pyle in this forum is impressive in itself.
