Trying to kick Mark in the can to get his car up and running. He had it up actually working for a bit but the German made automobile *cacked* out automotive wise.

And yes, I think the ARC stuff is great

BUT I also think there's a lot of other great brands out there too that have nothing to do with us. My comments are usually from a personal point of view and based on what I like and find amusing. My favourite amplifiers to date still are the Esoteric Audio E7 series. *sigh* I had a beautiful used set of them too......... once upon a time.
All I can say is that there's a lot of good stuff out there and some of it's really close performance and features wise. So it's pretty hard to go wrong unless you are buying junk or used-and-abused. Do your homework and then go with WHAT YOU LIKE, not what someone else likes. Car audio is a personal expression. Make it your own, not someone elses.
