Also pioneer is sold at walmart along with cheap stuff like sony and valor, There I am done.

Are you for real??

here is an easy example you might understand.......

Walmart & Costco sells Sony HDTV. They are at the bottom of Sony's HDTV product line. Its only for name recognition. You will never see the XBR or Z series at Costco or Walmart. People who shop at discount stores are looking for discounts.

Comparing Costco to Walmart is comparing Apples and Oranges. Costco is a membership-only club. And Costco is a high-end club. The demographic of Costco is a fairly wealthy demographic. Costco is known for carrying high-end items at discounted prices. To say that "You will never see the XBR or Z series at Costco" is absurd, since you have no idea at all what will be sold at Costco at any given time.

I need to correct you………..Costco only sells the bottom line of Sony HDTV. If you think Costco is a high end outlet……………then you must live somewhere in CT I’ve never been! You will Never see a XBR (Sony) series in Costco or Wal-Mart.

Costco - 1080P

Sony | SonyStyle USA

the pioneer line at wally world is made for them specifically. they do not carry the standard product. if you notice the p/ns are missing a digit or two. they cheap out on preamp voltage and eq/outputs.

Thanks guys. Been doing more research on Soundstream the last few days and felt the same way - all the awards they've won have been really old ones. there are just so many choices out there it's starting to feel a little overwhelming.

I think I'm just going to say "F-it" and splurge on a boston acoustics gt-2300. Way out of my original price range but I've found them online for $550.

- 300 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (500 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms)
- 1-ohm stable in stereo mode (700 watts RMS at 1 ohm)

Really high reviews for SQ, plus keeps everything consistent with the BA G5 10-44 subs I have. Means waiting another 2 weeks to purchase but should give me really nice, clean power and sound.

I think you will like the BA's if you need any help just ask! Now also keep in mind your amp will not be putting out 700 watts because you are going to be running at 2 ohms not 1. Also make sure to look at car audio 101 thread for how to set your gains, that way you can enjoy your setup for years to come!
