Hi i am starting a shop in Wi and was wondering if anybody has any experiance with planet audio. I am attracted to this line because of its dealer only plan. i can not find the line for sale on the net at all( except for ebay a couple of items but not much). also any other brands you could suggest would be great. I was in the business for approx 10 years b4 getting out foe the last 6 years need too catch up on things here are some of the lines i will be handling: Kenwood, Planet Audio, Ultra Start, Kove Audio. Please let me know what you think any imput would be great.

Thanks Ray

i have heard on this forum that ultra start is junk. the only plant audio gear i have had was a single 10" sub it was ok but nothing great .but i'm sure it was the entry level . JL is a great seller . soundstream is makling a good come bad . i have had great luck with there higher end. the picasso. amps . the T4 subs, and the van gogh subs and amps. and almost all of there componets.i haven't use any of the video stuff but it looks very nice www.soundstream.com kenwood has been ok for the most part. i like pioneer H/U's . audiobahn sucks. a lot of people love RE . MTX has held strong. RF seems to be going to crap! i'm sure you will get alot of comment's about this. BTW were are you opening this shop ????

I will be opening the shop in Wausau Wi. a friend of mine in Ill has been useing the ultra start product for some time now and has had no problems as of yet. do you think that carrying soundstream will be a hard sell to people because you can find 10-20 places on the net to buy it for near cost. that is why i was thinking of carrying planet audio they do not have any internet retailers at all, i looked and can not find any on the net at all.

Any other imput would sure be great

Thanks Ray

The local shop I buy stuff at here in Janesville, WI sells Planet Audio as their entry level line, it is a decent brand for the price and they have had little to no problems with their products in the way of returns and the like.

Diamond Audio also does not have online retailers, I don't believe JL or Zapco do either, I am sure there are plenty more as well.

Planet Audio used to be an excellent brand, really top-notch stuff all made in the USA. A few years ago they were purchased by the same company who owns Boss. Now I believe they are made in the same Taiwan and China factories as Boss and many others, although Planet seems to be the top quality of those lines. I own a Planet Saturn amp from their heyday. Not sure if I'd use any of their current gear, but it's worth carrying in a shop.
