Wal-Mart Beatz

Now I know some of you might think this post is stoopid but has anybody looked at some of the products that Wal-mart has been putting on thier car audio shelfs?

Anybody got an opinion?

your right this is a post.

^^^^^ your mean ^^^^^

Why would you say it is stupid? This is where many consumers buy their products. Many people on this forum are installers and/ or have stores themselves. It's always good to know what your competitors have. Especially when you may be asked to install it.

good thing we are not installers, or we would be losing our asses right now due to the economy.

X2

I liked the Sony Comp set haha

thanks for your support on this not being a stupid post, keep them coming

pioneer components, sony components, pioneer flip out screens
Wal-mart is learning.

Not sure why but if Wal-Mart can have a Tire and Lube center why not a installation bay for stereos?

If walmart had a pioneer flip out I would run it.... no joke. With a line driver.

my wal-mart has one but it's like $600

I am considering a Jensen Touch Screen with some sort of sound processor/driver.

I wouldn't mind having one but don't see much use for it.
Not to mention it'll probably block a couple of my heater vents

Wouldn't block anything in my truck.... If I could find a screen I liked that had ALL the SQ features as the other radios I would have one.

I just don't care enough though lol

I at one pointed wanted a whole walmart system HAHA

yea i seen the new stuff walmart has, still has to upgrade an start selling some class d amps an they may be in business but the pioneer componets i may bay looking into those thats a not bad set of componets for that price.

I'm fine with my Alpine deck

Back in the day when Wal-mart had Road Gear I had one of thier 12's and really actually surprised me. I pounded the shitz out of that thing

I'm getting NEW Alpine 9887.... for trade for my Pioneer DEH-6900 UB!! FTW

walmart batteries ftw! right chop? hehe

Yes I know this.... but he wants a simler "EQ" lol

And I don't mind at all.....

they just might start putting installition bats in one of these days.

Who knows.....kinda doubt they ever will.

Some of their produvt really isn't that bad
until you get to the durabrand section

Wal Mart experimented with installation in the NW Arkansas area a year or two ago. Rumnor was they planned to go with it but then someone decided it was more trouble than it was worth. Hope they do not change their minds.

i loved those for when me and my buddies would get board. i had 2 linear power 8002's back then and i would run down to walmart get some of the cheap road gear stuff just to take bets on how long it would hold up on the lp's. average time was about 1 to 2 mins unles i got it on the first burp.



now i have 2 sony 12's from walmart and the sony 1000 wat amp in my truck and other than the amp overheating and shutting down it is not a bad setup. i am hitting 142 peak at 43 hz in a box i built probally 5 years ago just for a daily box. as for the overheating amp i took the amp apart and put 2 fans in the amp one pushing and one pulling and i haven't had anymore problems.

i make jokes about my walmart system but it ain't bad. i got 1,000's tied up in a comp system but i love showing off what i can do with walmart crap.
