DEI 1100D or Crossfire VR1000D for RE SX10

[Vortec Stroker 10+ year member]

I have a DEI 1100D circa 1998 and a Crossfire VR1000D available to power my RE SX10. Load will be @ 1 ohm. Which do you think will put out more power and operate more efficiently?

I love my crossfire 1000d but I can't say I've had the DEI....If you went with the cf though, you'd be happy

The crossfires benchmark right around 1300ish watts and are efficient little amps. I would much rather run the crossfire than the DEI.

i had an old 1500d and it was a power house!

Crossfire makes some decent amps.

Thats what I was thinking, but didnt want to assume before I got some input. I am running a Crofffire to power my comps, so it will match nicely.

They both do the same amount of power whichever you can get cheaper. There was a thread on here where they were tested against each other and were virtually the same output. The 1100 is basically the same as the Viper 1200 and I had 2 of them and they were very powerful and put out more than rated.

Which do you think puts out cleaner sound?

Which do you think puts out cleaner sound? I already own both. (sorry for double post - accident)

i heard the dei was a better amp, i had a crossfire vr1000d and was happy with it but since you have both why not hook each up and see what one you like better

I'd run the Crossfire. IMHO, DEI was the worst thing to happen to car audio.

Yeah, I know DEI went downhill shortly after they made my 1100D so I know what you mean. I'll put them head to head in action and report back. In searching the Crossfire benched about 200 watts more, but we'll see when it comes to real world performance on my sub.
