Crossfire VS. RF

Let me step in on this post and put in my two cent. Crossfire is a pretty decent amp. And will most likely beat any RF "punch" line amp. But as far as the new RF line (2004) I doubt Crossfire is going to have a product that will compete. ~The Rookie~

Don't let the smoke out of your equiptment..it doesn't go back in.

What is so different about the 2004 line of RF products ,besides new looks, from the older models?

nothing. fosgates quality is declining is you ask me. take those power series junkers or whatever theyre called. the ones with the stealth end caps that are like 2400-2600 watts (thats what they say) they are only 900 watts rms. thats all that matters and they suck. they cant handle the low impedences for sh*t either. ive done a few installs with like a single dvc 12" running at 2 ohms bridged and it wouldnt handle it. it overheated and crapped out. you have to put your own fuses on it since it has no on-board fuses (claming its a true clean-power amp.) how many amps that cost $500+ dollars cant take 2 ohms? cant think of many.Pete - SPL Enterprise Inc.

Yea, good point. I was just wondering also, if anyone has ever looked at an RF amp lately, their peak power is always three 3x the RMS power. how the hell did they get that figure? Generally, the peak wattage is equivalent to 2x the peak (give or take a few). I was looking at a RF amp, the... 800s (i think), the specs were 800 watts by 1, at 4 ohms (bridged), 400 x 2 @ 2 ohms, and 200 x 2 @ 4 ohms. Oddly enough, the peak power was 2400 watts. That was just an example, (real specs though) lol thanks.1990 Honda Civic HB:

the crossfire product is pretty damn good is you ask me. i did an install with like 6 bmf-12's and it slammed pretty nice. as for the amps, they are pretty good. id compare them to being almost as good to an hcca, but not quite.Pete - SPL Enterprise Inc.

I would not be surprised at all if Rockford took a page from Crossfire's design book to build their new amps, Crossfire will be able to compete with Rockford and others any day of the week.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.
