So does Clarion //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif And many of the Clarion amps closely resemble the internals of Arc Audio amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

yah, just a lil more expensive for my tastes for coaxial power...

Thanks everyone, I ordered the Profile. It was a little cheaper, higher power ratings, and would get to me the fastest.
