Would be planning on running dedicated 4 channel splits up front, with a n audiocontrol 6xs crossover.

Should I be concerned at the s/n ratio?

I'll let Luke tell you what to expect from current Infinity, I've always had great luck with their home products.

I remember a guy with a big pure digital Infinity, and it sounded great in his E30M3, but speakers are going to make or break the overall result. IIRC he had 2 10's in a sealed box, and was just using Infinity components in the front locations & nothing in the rear deck.

As for the price, I think you can do better. Here's what I found with a quick copy/paste:

If Luke gives it the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval", it looks like a smart shopper can get it for ~$200

Um, just so you know, you can buy this amp new for $199.99 from www.carmedia1.com.

those are on ebay for like $140. 200 for the 6 channel. I'm going to be installing a complete infiniti system in aunts escape hybrid and my buddies harley f250. Ford stereos suck a$$.

Cheers, guys, even with shipping halfway round the globe, buying from carmedia will still be cheaper - and a later model.

Looking at around 300NZD landed - 50 dolla saved!
