I'd rather get the bad news *before* I buy'em!

Dave,

I should have been more specific, my comments are really subjective (as pretty much everything car audio is, so don't take it poorly). I'm not bad-mouthing them, the size thing is a huge benefit. But when i auditioned speakers, they had a Blaupunkt and Rockford Fosgates hooked up to a speaker board. I liked the sound out of the RF better (even though it was rated at a lower wattage). I didn't have anything against the BP, it sounded fine, but on my purely subjective level I liked the RF better.

I think both would serve your needs fine. But you do have to pay a good deal, the cost/watt is high compared to other amps.

Though the millionbuy prices are pretty low!
