Interesting... This is the first time I recall hearing your V4's only put out 80W total vs 70W stock. Wonder why that info was never presented before when you were selling the V4's? Maybe because it doesn't sound very impressive vs. stock? But 120W for V5 vs. 70W stock does sound good! LOL...

All the numbers sounds great and look to be way more powerful, but as you've pointed out yourself in your post, numbers aren't always what they seem....

So forgive me if I sound skeptical, but I do wonder though how come as a manufacturer, the first thing you didn't do was put the V4's in a car side by side with the V5's and take pics... When you obviously have them both in stock.

Basic part of the R&D you would have done I'm sure before deciding to sell them - ensuring that they vastly outperform - to the human eye - the V4's. So why not share that info?

Hmmm...

PS I'm a V4 owner, so I'm not here just to bash...
