Infinity?

ITs not the volume that makes a speaker better, its the speakers ability to play music at higher levels and not become a source of disortion. The boston Z's for example can be absolutly flogged more then damn near any other speaker and will still sound musical while doing. Most other drivers would be cracking and popping and becoming painful to listen too. This is especialy common of tweeters. HOwever, at lower volumes, you will hear detail in something like a focal k2P that you will simply NEVER hear from a $250 anything.

I still remember the first time I heard the Z's in a car. I was in the back of tweeter coming into work and an installer was tuning a system. Before I saw what it was, I though the music I was hearing was coming from either the Sonus Farber Grand Painos or some of our larger Martin Logan home speakers that a salesmen was listening to in the stock room. Each set of which is more then $4000. Turns out it was the installer with only a pair of boston Z playing in a customers car. Incredible sound.

I swung in to Ultimate Electronics today to nose around and couldn't see any sign of Boston Acoustics anywhere in car audio. Wonder how that correlates to them filling Ch. 11? Interesting.(deadhorse

It doesn't. They quit selling the Bostons about 2yrs ago. They had some in there stores but that was just there stock. They didn't sell enough to keep them. As far as them filling ch 11. The head guy expanded to fast. The guy that started Hollywood video sold his stock and bought with that money bought Ultimate. He was faced with a choice of keeping all of the new stores open an not making a profit for the first 3-5 yrs or go ch11 and close all the new stores and make an instant profit. Guess what he chosed! I talked to the guys in Col. at there headquarters for a long time. They tried to screw me out of 1k in warranty. I ended up getting a refund on all of the warranty and labor they chared me for my car audio. It's in here somewhere.

On the topic of funny finances. Tweeters stock is so low that at any time someone with $140 million could buy tweeter and every one of its owned stores which includes all Hi-fi Buys, Sound Advice, ShowCase Home Ent, and Hillcrest Hi Fi.

I still think Walmart should by it. That way they could carry higher end sections in there midwest stores since they are the only large store for friggen miles out there. And for the areas with tweeter or its owned stores, no issue as they don't sell anywhere near the same stuff.

Thats true! Send them the idea in an email. If they use it and make millions you can sew them and cash in.

Infinity Kappa 2 way 5X7 up front, 6X8 3 way rear deck, 2 12" perfects in trunk. I think they provide plenty of clear volume for me.

I preferred my rockford component set over what I have now.

Yeah right, I have a good feeling Walmart could afford to drag on a legal battle for alot longer then I could.

I should have said in my unexperienced opinion. Sorry.
