Pyramid... Are they a trusted company?

Are their subs any good? They are dirt cheap but have a nice rms rating.

Directions:
1. Purchase Pyramid product
2. Unwrap from packaging
3. Place directly into the garbage.

It's really worth spending just a bit more.

My first amp was a Legacy brand amp.

It's made by the same company as Pyramid but considered their high end line.

The protection circuits are messed up. You crank it too high, and it kicks out due to overload, but if you accidentally cross the wires, it just blows and needs to be sent in for repair.

Definitely for newbies to car audio that have VERY tight wallets.
Loosen up the wallet and spend a little, or don't even bother cause in the end it'll be a waste of money.

I learned my lesson and only go for the good or at least decent stuff now.

Pyramid stuff is garbage. Jensen's stuff isnt top of the line but its a really good start for a newbie that doesnt have deep pockets.
