Opinion on memphis

nutxo · Post by **nutxo** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 8:08 pm

Ive always kinda sneered at memphis. I never really had a reason. After trying out this baby belle I gotta say Im a little impressed. It sounds pretty freakin good and seems to have a lot of headroom.

Anyone have any experience with these amps?

The old one's were good, the newer one's suck....IMO, they are all ugly

Meh. If we couldnt get past aesthetics where would old hifonics, US Amps and a score of others be?

I like the US Amps....I thought they were hot and sexy.....hifonics sounded so good it didn't matter what it looked like really

Lanzar and Soundstream....now those are some FUGLY amps

Said I wanted 1, didn't say I could afford it right now

Orion is not even on that list

Now that is hilarious

dBincognito · Post by **dBincognito** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 9:08 pm

US Amps isn't on that list...I hope this was not a list of the best sound quality amplifiers...cause it would be way off

dBincognito · Post by **dBincognito** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 9:11 pm

Zed isn't on the list.....but a number of amps that suck are

That thread talks about who is making good amps now....I thought this was a list that everyone voted on or something....like top SQ amps or something

The brands that make good amps today are so small you could probably count them on 1 hand

Luckily the market is flooded with old stuff eh?

and if we are talking about amps made today nobody mentioned Clif Desings....the 4800.1LX they make is a real piece of work....and can be linked together with another 1 to produce massive power....

Not true. The new ones are the same with just new cosmetics.

As a dealer, Memphis was second to none! I had absolutely ZERO defect rate with them. Even their cheep subs could take a beating from dumb ass kids and hang in there. I built several competition cars with them and the 'Belles' are the shit for size vs performance. WAY better company to deal with then any other hands down.

If you want good clean power in a small package without all the hype BS .. I challenge u to find a better amp ... I'm serious!

The 3 year warranty on all the products speaks volumes about their build quality.

Just like any other old school amp, they no longer use the same tolerance parts to build with, therefore...IMO, they suck now
