Lightning Audio

Has anyone ever used any of their audio equipment? I've been told that its made by Rockford Fosgate; does that mean its any good?

I used their capacitor. I worked fine, but i always say a cap's a cap. Never heard their stuff was RF stuff before.

Yeah, I've heard of Lightning Audio. Columbus Car Audio (where I get most of my wires and stuff) just started selling them. I was talking to one of the guys in there because they are getting rid of Street Wires stuff and picked up Lightning Audio. They are made by Rockford. The guy I talked to had nothing bad to say about them. Actually, I think that he likes them better than standard fosgate stuff. I can't imagine that it is bad equipment though.

i actually use one of there amps. same thing happened at one of my stereo shops i go to they started carrying lighting audio and i wanted to give them a try with the capaciters already getting good feed back. I bought the 200w amp and it is pushing my one 10 in a bandpass but dont tell anyone i only have one 10 they all think i have more.
As for the amp it is alright in quality i really think you are getting what you pay for i only paide 100 dollars for my 200w lighting audio amp. It is still pushing strong with a cross over before it now and sounds good.

Well, sounds like theyd be pretty good for me.... I made the mistake of buying Pyramid & have had nothing but problems with the engine wistling through the speakers (only happens when 2 amps & a x-over are used)
