I agree Clarion would smoke Power acoustik, Power acoustik tends to over-rate there products for example power acoustik's amps might say 800Watts Rms @2ohms but you're really only getting maybe 550-600watts Rms @2ohms instead. As for Clarion you would get the full 800Watts Rms @2ohms. So in other words you get what you pay for..

Clarion FTW!!

I owned a sapphire series amplifier, i was VERY impressed with it and would run it again anytime



Best bang for the buck purchase in a long time.

Yup I had the Fire and Ice back in the day and worked well. Not saying there bad just rated differently and not as accurate. Clarion has the CEA2006 industry standard rating and PA does not. I have found they gear to be about 20-25% high on RMS ratings. But the PA is not the same build quality either.
