How Good Are Pyramid Components?

[NorthernSHO]

I can get Pyramid amps and speakers for a good price and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Are they decent?

 

[underdog1924]

They are a good price for a reason. I would steer clear of Pyramid if possible. I've heard many a poor thing about them.

There in the same group of the "great" Lightning subs and products.

Even Lightning Audio is better than Pyramid. Pyramid is more on the scale of Pyle, lol. Don't waste your money on that crap dude, you won't be happy.

stay away from pyle, boss, most crunch, visionik, and definitely pyramid. pyramid is about as bad as u can get when it comes to car audio. Boss stuff catches fire, especially there amps...lol. but if you want a great price for some great products try LANZAR for amp (opti-drives or Vibe 250/Vibe 1200d) and for subs Audiobahns, Ma audio, or definitely the Solobaric Comp. VR's. the infinity Kappa perfect d.1 are pretty damn good too for the price. thumbs_u

Well thanks guys...I guess that answers my question loud and clear. As always, you get what you pay for and I'd rather save up some money and buy something good than buy crap. Thanks for the input.

Dude, don't do it.... PLEASE DON'T DO IT! If your looking for a cheaper (costing) company that has some well made speakers/amps, you try Coustic, or maybe some Orion Cobalt stuff.

Go to elitecaraudio.com and check out what the guys say about cheaper costing equipment.

I've owned a Coustic amp, and they pump man. They are underrated. Just make sure you run even loads on them (2 or 4 ohms.... nothing like 2.5 ohms or 3 ohms)

well that makes me feel GREAT!! haha, I bought my girlfriend (lurpsho) a pyramid amp & deck for her b-day last year... haha... what did I know? the subs in the box r nice though! (I think? haha)

Yeah, Pyramid isn't even in the same class as Radio Shack's Optimus line. Or is that Optima? Whatever.

Hey Rio, I know you've posted your love of Lanzar before. I used to love Lanzar. When they first came out. I had the Opti Q 200.2 and 200.4. They were clean, hit hard and had no noise. Their speakers were excellent, too. They had soft dome silk tweets and the subs were competition winning as well. I was curious, though. They were losing money and were bought out by..............................PYRAMID!!!

It's true! When I had one of my amps not turn back on after shutting down one hot, August night, I had to send it in for repair. It went to Pyramid in NY. I was confirmed of my fears by my installer, who was the authorized Lanzar dealer in my area. He told me of their money problems, how they had to drop their dealers and were bought out by Pyramid.

It just shows you how good they were, because your stuff can't hold a candle to my old stuff(which theives couldn't resist, either!). If you like the Pyramid backed products now, I wish you could have heard my system back then. It was awesome.
