I like their retro no cheesy LCD graphics look! Unfortunately their data sheets are too anemic to tell if they are great, but they look good. It's funny they crammed 160W amp in the HU when audiophiles use external amps. I hope you got a great deal. 
I look forward to a comprehensive review.

I have heard of them and seen them installed in a tricked out Audi TT sponsored by DTM Autohaus. They are supposed to be pretty good. Let us all know how the product is.

Well it turns out the woofers are far too deep for the door enclosures
It could've been done but not without alot of modding and extra $$. So, we installed the crossover and the new tweeter that came with the comp set and disconnected the tweet on the two-way coaxial Polks I already had in the door enclosures. This kinda makes them midbass drivers. I think it sounds alot better just with the good tweets. The plasticky factory tweets are just WAY too peaky for me. The Swiss Audio units are very smooth and don't kill me. The imaging is much better. Still, I'm bummed about the drivers not fitting. I was gonna amp them to extract the most potential. Oh well. At least I got my KCA-IP Ipod adapter installed. But, since I didn't have a BUS switch I had to temporarily disconnect my Sirius radio. Now I have to buy another $80 piece of Kenwood gear so I can run them both. On the bright side I got the Swiss Audio tweeters/xover, installation, parts and installation of the iPod adaptor for $60 out the door. Still sucks about the 6.5 drivers.

There's a guy on the forums that has them in his car. It's a red showcar... don't remember who. It's my favorite car on this site. Though yeah... Swiss isn't as good to listen to as it is to look at. There's a shop here that sells them.
and i cant find any info on it grr...most of those pics will be gone forever if they dont fix it sigh
