Opinion on Interfire Component set

[Frankensuby 10+ year member]

I'm still confused as to why you won't just buy 4 tweeters that fit the specifications and save yourself money. It is pretty much plug and play after you do your research. You can probably get 2 pairs of tweeters that fit your specs for less that 150$ shipped. You save the perfectly fine mids, and hopefully tune the amp to prevent this incident from happening again.

No.
Get CDT instead

ok so is there any scientific explanation for this or you just saying they are shit because its a brand youve never heard of before.

because right now car audio isnt on the priority list of things to buy. moneys tight and there is a good difference between 50 and 150.

and i put a pair of interfire coax's in my sis's car yesterday running off stock headunit and they actually sounded pretty good.

kind of looking for an explanation why i can get an interfire comp set thats 175 rms for 50 bucks and why other brands that handle that kind of wattage are three and four times the price? and what might be the difference between the two.

that is a perfect match for your system, and within your price range.

There are several reasons. 1. build quality. 2. name, 3. reliability, 4. materials.

Sure, you have your rare exceptions, but think of it this way. If Interfire can supposedly produce a great product that handles 175RMS(which is subject to interpretation) why can't Kicker? Or Infinity? There is a reason why these companies will charge more for less RMS. Basically because it is not all about the RMS ratings. What about sensitivity, or response? How is the Crossover built? Can it really handle true 175 RMS? I would highly doubt. Try running you amp thought these speakers for a bit, see if they can handle constant 150 RMS beating (although as stated before, it really isn't 150 RMS, it is dynamic, with the supply being able to handle a constant 150 RMS signal) and see if it can handling it for an hour.

The point is there is a reason people will pay money for less RMS. Reliability, build quality, sound, and many others are the reason. I dislike my current speakers because they don't seem to handle their RMS the way I like. They distort too early, and I'd imagine the same would happen from your proposed set.

now that in fact was very helpful although unfortunately the tweeters were drilled into my door panels and i need to replace them with a 1 inch tweeter 25mm in order to fit the hole that is already in my door. those kicker were 3/4 inch.

honestly for shits and giggles i think im going to try out one of those interfires. Like i said i did install some coax's in my sis car and they sounded pretty good. gonna try and get some used momo's on ebay though just to be assured the tweet will fit in my door. thanks for the help

Well, if you think your mids are good, I'm sure people on here know where to get 1" tweeters. in fact, I think Power Acoustik and soundstream sell good cheap tweeters. I think soundstream has the nicer ones. Just trying to help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Anyways, abuse those interfires when you get them and post up some opinions and comparisons. It'd be nice to know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i bought my sisters interfires from a shop near me that is an interfire dealer and they said those coax's on their wall they beat the hell out of they still are perfect. and hell if i end up blowing them it was only 50 bucks. but if they end up being nice i got a good deal so i think its worth the chance.

will def let you know how they end up.
