Lanzar Quality Amps/Caps?

I am in need of a capacitor and was looking at getting either a Stinge 1 Farad or a Lanzar 5 Farad. Is Lanzar a quality company or is it likely to go down the crapper after a bit. Also there 4 channel amps if they are any good, for 150 bucks i can get one off ebay. Are they worth it?

The only Lanzar amps that are worth getting is the Heritage, Opti and Vibe the Viberant are crap. As for caps the Lanzar cap is just as good as anything else pretty much.

At this point it might be worth it for you to skip the cap and put the extra money into your amp budget.

The Lanzar Opti series amps are great performers and really the only one's I'd opt for from the Lanzar catalogue.

You have a PM. At around $250 for a new 4 channel you will be looking at more of a main stream amp. Like a Pioneer, Clarion, JBL, Kenwood sort of price range. Some of the bigger, higher quality, more potent amps are going to run you more after shipping and taxes and so on. Some other ideas is to check the For Sale section here. Also never shy away from and older well built amp in nice shape. Some of the older PPI, PG ect. are nice buys.

Infinity 7541a is a nice big 4ch amp and a good performer that can be had for less than $250 on Ebay everyday.
