Default MA Audio question

I posted a thread in the general C5 forum area about this radical C5 that I had seen on Horsepower TV this weekend and was given a link to the guy and his shop that did it. It is quite awesome that is for sure...

http://www.fishmanaudio.com/knowledge_fest_tour.htm

He has MA Audio listed on his website. I went to their website and checked out their goods. I finally found a site that sells it and I am wondering why they look so nice but are quite cheap. What is the story with this company?

Just curious is all...

Thanks,

:eek:

They look great, handle a ton of power, and sound ok. The subs are really what they sell the most of, but they are the kind of subs that are loud but have really crappy sound quality. The component sets are o.k., but most component sets are. For the price - they are loud, they look good, and if that is what you want(for a show car), then they are a good buy. If you are looking for a good sounding stereo but don't care how it looks, yu can do much, much better than MA Audio.

Hope this helps...

David the "Fishman" Riviera has done some work barely short of amazing (MB Quart Ram pickup, his first mazda with the fishtank/amprack, and yes the vette). However he has built a huge demo van for Jensen as well. :eek:

However he has built a huge demo van for Jensen as well. :eek:
Which was on the Hot Rod Power Tour this year. Looked good if you could get past all the Jensen equipment. While I was talking to one of the Jensen Reps, (He saw my dB Drag shirt :lol: ) I asked him who did the van install. He was joking about all the sharp edges and such that he could get cut on, but didn't know the name of the installer. When I went to look :eek: , How could he not know who Fishman is? Just one of the most well-known installers in the biz!

That car is amazing, but I would like to stomp on his big toe for what he did to the rear end of that poor yella vette.
/me sheds a tear.

Sad part is the vette only had like 2k miles or so and went for sale later on after the SEMA show!
