DS18 HQ's is here in South Florida a few years back I had a full DS18 bike and I thought it was awesome....at the time. PRV and MMats is significantly better. The small Candy amps aren't bad for size and price but I'd recommend spending a little more for a better amps if that's your only option. If you find an installer that uses them and it sounds good, but all means use it. If you are shopping around, well then for the price there are better options out there.

Nah...wasn't shopping..just peaked my interest.I'm very happy for now with the aw6.5's..thought it odd though when I asked to hear what they had,a dude said didn't have any to listen to ,but they were doin a few installs..I did notice that a few bikes were on chargers..maybe battery dead. ??

at shows we always leave the bikes on charges. They sound best with max voltage especially after playing them/demoing them all day.

Mid to low end distributor type products.

Tons of margin for the sellers.
