Default Is Pyle Audio equipment any good?

I am most interested in the Pyle Elite Series Red Label amps and speakers. However, if you know anything about any of their stuff, I am interested in that too.

Thanks

Never mind .... the search showed the Pyle equipment is CRAPOLA in a major way.

I think pyle is just a little worse than pyramid, but better than subs I make out of coffee filters, jb weld, and an old refridgerator magnet.

lol my friend has an entire pyle system he got for free somehow, it doesnt sound THAT BAD, but its not that good either, and it seems like it distorts pretty easily at high volumes.

To answer your question "Is Pyle any good?" in a word: NO.

To elaborate, Pyle is the same as Rockwood, Kenford, Kraco, and Audiobahn... CRAP. And by Audiobahn I mean AudioBLING

i think the pyle tvs are the same as dual and jensen just rebadged. my uncle had pyle stuff about 20 years ago when he was into the minitruck scene.so it might not be the best stuff, but you dont stay in buisness that long if your product is total trash

Pyle, like most low-cost brands, is better than nothing and probably 1% better than stock, just don't expect miracles.

well i just swaped all my factory speakers with pyle's plx series & i have to say that they do sound a little better than the factory speakers the good thing is that theres less distorsion at high volume levels - again im not saying there as good as kicker or other high end brands but they are better than the stocks im very happy with them and at under $60 shipped to my home with a pair of bass blockers its a great audio mod for under $60

They're not so great compared to Boston Acoustics or MB Quart - but they're not even in the same price bracket.

They're solid upgrades to stock components, no doubt, and generally are made of much better material than what you get (generally!).

The market drives the cost, and there is a reason why they are 30% to 80% cheaper than the upper end stuff.

Personally speaking, if you're not putting sound/vibration deadener in the car, it doesn't matter how much you spend, because you're just wasting power. In that sense, Pyle is just as good as anything else.
