Question Car-Fi car audio (late 70's early 80's)

Anyone heard the Car-Fi brand from the past? This was in the late 70's - early 80's and this was the brand that burst on the car stereo scene almost overnight. They were in every car stereo magazine and had highest ratings hands down... Then about 3 or 4 years later, the company seemed to vanish without a trace and never spoken about since!

Maybe tomtomjr knows ?

I remember them. They were definitely a performance brand in the vein of AFS-Kricket & Proton. And you are right, they came & went quickly. They missed the boom in car audio by just a couple years, by the mid-80's it was hopping. Your amp is cool, I did not know they did components of that scale.
The only thing I ever saw was there EQ/booster amps. Below is one of my oddballs from the same era -
