<HIJACK THREAD> What is the company the Crossfire owns that makes amps? I forget the name, but the amps are all black and yellow, along with the binder inserts they give to dealers. I was just at my local car audio store putting my $50 down on a JL Audio HO210R-W3v2 so when my check clears tomorrow ill pick it up. Anyway, i was looking at amps and i had a long discussion over how I can get a clean 5 - 600 watts rms for around $250. He showed me Crossfire's stuff, then the other companies stuff, saying crossfire just made a new company so they could make amps with less features for cheaper without ruining their reputation. Whats the name? </HIJACK THREAD>

umm, i dont know, but lemme know when you find out because i am a retailer of crossfire and i dont have a clue, dont worry about the hijack, no biggie..

 
Rep Power: 289

Sent you a pm with part numbers...thanks!!

 
Rep Power: 295

no prob bob, get back to you tomorrow with prices.

 
Rep Power: 327

ive never heard of the crossfire amps, but from the price they sound VERY in-expspensive. maybe too cheap! IMO, i would recomend something better quality amps. And if cost is a factor id skimp somewhere else then on the amps. Ive had better luck on sound quality with good amps and cheap speakers then cheap amps and good speakers just my 2 cents worth

 
Rep Power: 295

umm read the whole first post, those are all my costs. retail on the 1000d is 779 and the subs are retailed at 299 a peice, so um, go to www.crossfirecaraudio.com

 
Rep Power: 360

I just found out its 'distinct audio' and its all brand new. no web site or anything that i found yet. Try to get me some info if you can, being a retailer and all. thanks

 
Rep Power: 295

ok, no problem man

 
Rep Power: 327

like i said id never heard of them, they must not be sold much around here. But then again list of $779 = what? $500 retail maybe ? Anyways..... imo the rest seems ok. BTW wasnt trying to bad mouth it, just seems low priced and that usually means low quality

 
Rep Power: 295

ok, THOSE COSTS ARE FOR ME, I WORK AT A CAR AUDIO SHOP, I AM A SALESMAN THERE, so the retail costs are 779, and 299 respectively. sorry if im being an ***, i just dont think that your getting me.

Crossfire has been around for quite some time now...good quality stuff...used to have a zapco 100ws1 and a Crossfire Crossover...sounded great!!

get rid of the caps, for 25 bucks more you can buy a 150 amp alternator.
also, the crossfire and rockford speakers have never impressed me. nor have standard crossfire a/b amps. their sub amps are great, but everything else is just average.

if youre gonna spend that much money, at least go with some better stuff...

Its funny that crossfire's amps are 'crap' to you people yet the've helped systems push over 176 db and have been in the SPL world record holding vehicles 3(?) years running.

 
Rep Power: 327

for the record i never said they were crap cause ive never heard of them that i can recall( ive been on prescription narcotics for last 2 years do to injury ), i just questioned thier value seemed low , and would think quality would be similar. But i must be wrong Im used to spending $1500-2000 on a pair of amps. Of course i paid retail mostly ( not suggested list ).

 
Rep Power: 360

ill spend $1000 on a pair of amps when an amp company gives me $1000 to spend on their amps. Till then nothing over $300 for all the amps (one) in my car.

EDIT: Then again im buying a dvd playing head unit which is $1500 so who am I to talk. (clarion VRX745VD [ no hide away unit])
