These brands are horrid, I know. I was just wondering how do these type of companies stay in business? I've checked that pyle audio home site and, there most expensive sub is like $250, who puts out that much money on shit? I know people still buy them, but when they listen to them, why do they stay with it?

Basically because it's cheap and people are stupid. That's it. The majority of the people don't know the difference between two different 12" woofers.

^ditto^
Thats exactly right

ya know there was a day when pyle was one of the top players. i dont know what happened to them but back in the day i was running a couple of pyle pro 10's and they were damn nice. i have probably had maybe 4 systems that had some form of pyle sub in them. granted its been a while but they did have their moment.........

Many companies have fallen into this rut.

Look at Orion, PPI and Im sure there are others. They start out as small companies built around a solid product. THen once they get a big enough name are sold off and everything is outsourced to Asia and the quality goes into the crapper.

But people still buy it. Why, because of the name...

I have PPI pc275, the older dark gray amp. Are the new ones crap are do they have the reputation that the older art-series amps have?

PPI will have to work VERY hard to bring their rep back to what it was with the Art Series amps. Probably will never happen...

i used to have a pair of pyle power reference 12's runnig off of a alpine mrv 1000 bridged at 8 ohms,and to be quite honest it was one of the better setups i've had...Damon
