You could not pay me to use or sell MA Audio, Crossfire on the other hand I have had some great results with over the years. But to each his own, buy what you like, not what we want you to.

99% of the time you will always get different results in a vehicle as compared to a demo room or display board. The acoustic charachteristics are drastically different. I was not trying to impress that MA Audio is not worth buying as it just might fit the bill for someone, just not me or for my customers. Crossfire I brought in blind based on the word of a rep that had not ever steered me wrong in the 16 years that I've known him. I would still have the line today if the company that distributed it had not let the line go.

I have personally never heard crossfire, but I've never heard anything bad about them. Only good things. I was thinking about getting a crossfire amp.

I have never heard a crossfire sub, but if they are as good as their amps, then I would highly recommned them.

very true, crossfire has set many of world records. But, as an ex-owner of MA Audio, i'd say they make a fine subwoofer. in fact, in one of my recent car audio magazines their XL series 15" sub was rated very well. they are good subs, great if you take price into consideration.

Reviews in most magazines are bought and payed for. Dont forget that most sony products recieve good reviews and we all know how that develops. I have heard good about crossfire and like everyone else, no bad things. As far as SPL records go, most companies can say they set one kind of record or another. Every damn week someone is Boasting about hitting a "New world Record".
