Hey all, I purchased a Fubar III about a year or so ago - and Im very happy with my product. However, since then I've noticed that they have upgraded the Fubar III's and have come up with an even newer product - a Fubar IV. This is the first I've heard of it, and to be honest Im more of a...

Really awesome review - I do have a question for you though. I went to the site you mentioned above but I purchased a newer version of the Cute and noticed there's a "newer" type of Firestone Audio apparently - different from the images you posted above. Here's an example of one I'm talking...

Thanks for the feedback guys I still haven't settled on anything, looking around for one second hand but still not really sure what I should be buying. I only get to spend this kind of money once every 6 months to a year (or so says my wife) so I hope I nail one that I really end up...
