It's not a fair debate if you start handicapping the said better brand. What's next..should we compare blown JL subs to brand new Pyramids?
Well, maybe that's how my original thesis came across, but what my feeble mind was aiming for was...
As long as you stick with a reputable brand, specific brand is not a big deal. Installation plays a much bigger role than brand a vs. brand b, provided both are quality brands.
In other words, properly installed rockford can sound just as good as properly installed kicker, alpine, JL, etc.
Later, I did expand this by using an example of poorly installed quality equipment, compared to properly installed, lesser (but still quaility...no pyramid or pyle) equipment. This was just an extreme example, but did get off point.
Again, this was aimed at people who just say 'Kicker and sound quality don't go together'...I believe this was actually posted recently.
Is this any clearer?
