Did you know, Sound Quest is part of AAMP

Post by Pillow »

I purchased a 0 gauge amplifier installation kit from Darvex last week and when it arrived I noticed that it was made by AAMP. So even though it does not have PG on the wire it is at least affiliated with the future success of PG!

The wire is decent and the kit was very complete. With the great Darvex price and service it is hard to beat! A "best buy" for sure.

Yeah I did know and I think that the quality would be just as good as stinger wire. Thats why I am going to buy a kit. Why spend the extra money just for a name. What did the kit run you?

I bought some soundquest supposed 0 gauge last year for my install and was severely dissapointed in the wire. Thank god I only bought 5 feet for some ground wire. stiff as all get out and nothin to write home about. didn't make it into my install thats for sure. It was barely 4 gauge..... i just ordered the bulk of what i needed from from knukonceptz and was satisfied with there wire :lol:
i would not recommend soundquest wire to anyone.
screw car audio, I'd rather go fast....errr, wait a minute.

I was amazed at how flexable the knu flex was. There are 2 points in my truck that I don't know if it would have worked with out it.

$16.29 a foot wow that must be nice stuff.

I cant compare as I have not used any of the mentioned, but Tom showed me 2 kinds of KNU RCA's and they where really, really nice cables.

Heres a pic of the Audison, the stuff I looked at had a cloudy see through jacket though

I agree that if I had it next to my knu I would not be able to see the difference but I can appreciate paying a price to know that with a good name on it there will be no problems...

It's wire!!!

Stinger and Knu is perfectly fine.

As long as they're full copper and flexible enough they're both more than sufficient for even the most elaborate and demanding install.

They have Stinger, Soundquest, PAC, and now PG.....hardly most of the car audio brands.

Thats less than .0001% of the brands that exist.

I think the response was too... :!: :!:

Let's assume AAMP owns 4 car audio brands... 0.0001% of the brands that exist. That means there are at least 4/0.0001 = 40000 car audio brands in existence.

According to Wikipedia's highly incomplete car audio brands page, there are less than 100 major brands out there. A far stretch from 40k!

So whoooo is the most rightest? :lol: :lol:

GlasSman you'd better cite your sources :lol:

They've been promising it for such a long time.

We'll see the IDMAX 15 before the IDQ15....thats for sure.
