While I do agree that Anaba's CS is quite lacking, its not fair at all to say that because both MA and Clif are part of Anaba, their quality is similar. Thats kind of like saying MBQuart= Crunch, or Soundstream=PowerAcoustik.
MA is geared for SPL purposes, and Clif is geared more for SQ..and as stated above, the Clif stuff can really take a beating.
Kicker however makes some very strong products that can also take a beating (not so much with wiring well below recommend ohms as with the Clif stated above), and also have very good CS.
So...I vote, either...though I lean a little toward the Clif because it can picked up alot cheaper than the Kicker (and Im talking Authorized dealer pricing, not Egay).
