Seeing as real product reviews in hobby are getting harder to find as more publications close down or refocus I decided I would post specs and links to the one car audio mag that is still going. I'm thinking about keeping this thread dedicated to amp reviews (mono, 2-channel, 4-channel, more) but if Al would prefer me to keep all the PASMAG info in a single thread I'm cool with that as well. I claim no authorship for any of these reviews, I'm posting them here to make a simple archive of "current" product reviews for any users of visitors of the site.
Lets start off with two new offerings from Clarion.
First The Clarion XC6410 2/3/4 channel amp:
