[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8212624, member: 655960"] You're not likely to see CT in an SQ build until after the component sets have been out for a while so I understand your hesitance there. But consider that in order for their amps to put out as much power as they do for the price, they have to have high quality components. And high quality components are the most important ingredient in an SQ amp. Also, their mid and high amps are all class A/B which to me, isn't that important but to SQ snobs it is, lol. I realize that anecdotal evidence from a dealer isn't the most solid information, so take this for what it's worth.... In my demo truck I was running a Diamond Audio D5 600.4 on the mids, driven by a processor and running active. I replaced that amp with a CT Sounds 125.4 and gained in both sound quality and loudness. And one of the two most common comments I got from people who sat in my truck was the fact that even though it had stupid bass, it still had excellent SQ. As for running active, that's exactly what I mean. You user either the head unit or amp's crossovers and you ditch the passive crossovers. That will get you a lot more control over setting things up in your specific vehicle because you can't change the crossover points in a passive crossover. And the reason you don't see much in the way of SQ info on youtube is that not too many people are SQ driven and, it's impossible to make a video that conveys sound quality so, it's kinda pointless to try.
