Hey just wanted to tell everyone that you all should check out the january issue of car audio and electronics. They have all the best car installs and car audio products from 2005. It is a review of the best products from 2005. The best components sets were the MOREL ELATE 6 the SEAS LOTUS RS165F and POLK AUDIO SR6500. These were the three top component sets of the 2005 year. The best subwoofers of the year were the ALPINE TYPE X the ARC AUDIO KAR SERIES the ROCKFORD FOSGATE POWER SERIES the JL AUDIO W6 SERIES the CERWIN VEGA STROKER PRO SERIES and XTANT X2 SERIES. They also have the best amps and head units of the year also. Go check it out it's a nice issue. Hey mac they also have a head to head comparison of the crossfire mono amp against the interfire mono amp. You will probally like to see this test report of this crossfire amp since you own them.

Cool! Ill grab me a copy tomorrow.

I dont know why I just dont subscribe. Ive bought every issue for the last 4 years off the news stand. But for some reason, in my little brain $15 a year seems more expensive than $3 a month.

Man i tell you this seas lotus component set looks to be a awesome set of components. A lot of people are raving about these speakers. A lot of folks over on the car audio sound & performance forum highly recommend these over just about everything including DLS,FOCAL,MBQUART,MOREL,RAINBOW and so forth. They retail for about 745.00 also.

ok, then buy a subscription off eBay! You can get stupid deals on mag subs on there.

You really just have to pay attention to the fine print and also their rating. Mine is still 100%!!

Another interesting thing about this issue, they tested one of the almighty Dynaudio component set too and basically the SR's smoked it pretty bad. Final rating for the Dyn's was a 74 with 14 for SQ.

Once again, Polk speakers overachieving.

Hey mac what did you think of the crossfire amp test vs interfire amp test?
MacLeod

Was glad to see Crossfire kicking ass and they tore up that Interfire.

They dont have any frills or nifty features but they make tons of clean power, handily exceed their ratings, are very effecient and built extremely solid and can handle a lot of abuse. I think theyre among the best amps on the market.
