Get what you pay for?

Yea I'm actually really glad someone brought this up.... I've been noticing this too... why is stuff as high-end as that Xenon stuff selling *so* cheap? The Xenon amps I've not heard, but have inspected and the build quality is outstanding. Is it because of the name or the marketing? I mean.. the woofers and the amps are, IMO, rather tastelessly designed and the branding "Xenon" is has a rather adolescent connotation to it... but certainly no worse than Rockford Fosgate. I keep hearing that the stuff performs really well. If the MSRP is SOOO much higher than the selling price, it must mean a glut of inventory... anyone know anything about this line?"I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview

BTW, sedate... howz that EQX holding up? YTou like it as much as I did!It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

as far as amps go you do get what you pay for with a cheap amp, they work and everything but half the time they dont put out what they say they do so i a sence buying a crap amp is not a good idea, spend some extra money on the amp. now as far as subs goyou jsut have to ask around what is good and what isnt really, and it all depends what ur looking for in subs, if you jsut want heart pounding bass or you want clearity.

Phoenix Gold is making really good amps right now exspecially the Xenons, they are outstanding, you can abuse them at the minimum load and they will work all day long with no problems, they are a little exspencive but not at much as other amps that will perform the same way.
