Crossfire SQ holding me back?

[badstang123 10+ year member]

I know the SQ debate on amps is a heated one, but I'm looking for some specific opinions on Crossfire. I always get bored once something is done so I'm kinda itching to change up the system. Right now I run all Crossfire amps and was wondering if you guys think they're limiting me in the SQ arena. How much do you think I would benefit from something like Arc or Zapco? Thanks.

Until you get very far into the SQ tuning of your vehicle, amps will have little affect on your overall sound. Worry about speaker placement and tuning ability first.

tube amps and sound quality have nothing to do with each other..

tubes aren't even full range, thier highest harmonics of distortion aren't even above 6khz.

solid state is the cleanest way to go.

The question is if I should get rid of the Crossfire...not if I want to buy more. I have three of their amps now. Also, I'm not looking to go with tube amps.

If they provide the power you need then no, there is no reason to sell them. They are not holding back on "SQ" in your system.

Unless you want to switch simply for the sake of playing with new equipment. In which case....go for it.

I have another thread going about that right now. Head unit is number one on the list, 2nd is something to replace the MB Quart P-Series comps I have, and amps look like they'll stay the same. If it's not hurting me I think I'll leave them in. We could try those Audison's you have though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

if you are worried about sq, look into a new processor, not a better built amp.

If you go to sell them PM me and I may buy an amp of yours. I have 2 crossfire amps and might sell my memphis 4 channel and go all crossfire.
