Default Critical Mass products?

I was wondering if anyone has had hands on experience with Critical Mass Audio products?
http://www.criticalmassaudio.com/
I know their 5000 watt 12" sub is the best you can buy. I wonder how their other products are?

This should tell you how serious they are about car audio:

A 100 lbs reduction in your system weight, translates to accelerations gains resulting
in up to 1/10th of a second off your 0-60 mph times, or as much as 1 car length
faster. So the next time you plan to invest $1000 on an exhaust system, keep in mind
that you may have already lost your expected performance gains, unless you are using
Critical MASS UL-Series subwoofers and speakers.


Remember kids, if you want your vtec to kick in soooooo hard, you better run our subwoofers.

This system must be for those that have an 1986 Caprice with 26" tires and rims that is jacked up to the hilt and the entire car is worth about $700.00. The extra weight of the sound system wouldn't matter then!
