Nemesis Neutral Newbie February 15, 2005 Share February 15, 2005 If u r serious into Lanzar, go to Tye Electronics, local distibutor, probably better price Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slonez Clutched February 15, 2005 Share February 15, 2005 Hi, Most of the foreign car audio forum called the Lanzar crap with the exception of the Opti/Opti-Drive series which is labelled as decent. No offence but this is the info I've got. A friend of mine can get the HTG424 for $250 (export set). Let me know if you're interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before commiting, i would like to know if this amp is good for this money anot. oic Every Amp has it's own spec, look out for it's RMS Power output, but of course higher it is higher price to pay Juz my opinion Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slonez Clutched February 16, 2005 Share February 16, 2005 (edited) Hi, IMO, it would be better to locate a good used amp rather than buying a new but mediocre one. I've actually compared the HTG424 with some of the old school amps. No comparison at all, the drive, tonality, clarity are so much better with the old school amps. Unless you willing to cough out good $ for good new gear, a good used one offer superior quality. I am sure most of the experienced ICE sifu will agree, keke ! FYI, a lot of the old school amps are under-rated whereas many of the newer ones are over-rated (actual power output are less than claimed figures).

Psfong Clutched February 16, 2005 Author Share February 16, 2005 Errr, so which ones are the old-school ones? Sorry ah, I'm a complete newbie in this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slonez Clutched February 16, 2005 Share February 16, 2005 This question quite difficult to answer. There were many good reputable brands in the 90's like PPI, Rockford Fosgate, Orion, Nakamichi, Soundstreams, a/d/s, Hifornics, Xtant, Audio Art, etc. However, quite a few these brands went under or were bought over by other companies in the late 90's onwards and that's when the quality of the product become questionable. Many are now design & made in China, Korea, Taiwan, SE Asia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
