Crossfire amps for SQ?

[dezyrme 10+ year member]

I keep hearing over and over to spend the money on speakers and processing. I am debating on buying a zapco ref. 360.4 and a 1100.1. This will set me back like 1400 bucks for new stuff from an authorized dealer. I am highly considering scratching the zapco amps and going with Crossfire. Either a vr404 or 2 - vr402's for the active front stage and a vr1000d for subs. I know Crossfire has a stellar reputation for SPL amps and that. Anyone have some good SQ competition with any of their class AB amps? The processing will not be an issue as I will be using an Audiocontrol MVC, 6XS, and 2 - EQT's. Thanks for any and all opinions or comments.

i havent used any crossfire products in the past few year so i cant comment on them, but i can tell you from hands on experience that those reference series amps are some great amps.

the last comp car kirk perry did finished 4th at mid west iasca regional sq using ALL crossfire stuff with oz speakers and the car's trunk wasnt even finished. that was at a time when crossfire was thought of as junk because it was made over seas...now everybody does it.

memphis mc-3004 or whatever the newer model name is for the 75x4@4 ohms amp. got mine BNIB for 200 in an awsome deal but it's well worth more, check ebay and or anywhere that has memphis on a price for that amp, it's AAAWWSSOOMMMEEE

Crossfire makes "good" amps not great amps. Open one up and compare its components and amount of flying leads to a Rockford Power series, Diamond, Zapco or older/topline PG and you'll see what I mean.

seems people either grossly over rate or under rate crossfire amps ("the're awsome" or "the're crap" ) when there really somewhere in the middle.

Thats the impression I get. I think I will scratch the Crossfire's and go with Diamond. I didn't realize that Diamond makes some very respectable amps. Those D6's are nice man.
