There are some competitions where it does matter

But otherwise yeah who really cares, as long as the amp puts out nice clean power

I could go get a billion differnt amps that do there rated power.

I am more curious about their components and subs. Now thats something that should be reviewed more often.

It's just that alot of their products looks like crossfire stuff and their name happens to be interfire. I just keep thinking Rockwood or Soundstorm.

Its nothing in the crossfire league but more of an entry level brand that does rated power and will give you generally good bang for the buck like Coustic, that sort of company [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Its not in the same league as CROSSFIRE? but you feel its entry level like Coustic? what is entry level about coustic and what makes crossfire better?

THe fact they don't make anything that will take high power or even really produce it(1000 watt amps with 60 amp fusing) the guys at the shop told us that too.

Thats what makes it entry level. LIKE COUSTIC

Hmmmm...first of all both the 1000W Interfire amps have 2x 40amp fuses. Second of all if they test to produce they're rated power what difference does the fusing make? As Chris B said companies can do with power rating the same thing could be done with the fusing. They could have put 3x 40amp fuses in and people that use fusing to guage possible power output would be tricked.

As for the subs, Interfire is one company that has choosen to NOT product these "super woofers". They choose to stick with an efficeint design so you could run multiple subs on a single large amp. In the correct box they take thier rated power.

Not to be an ***, but what is your personal experience with Interfire?

</font>[/QUOTE]I was doing a direct comparison to crossfire, a company that makes both what you call "super woofers" and an efficient design for woofers so can run multiple subs in the right box.
AND i wasn't badmouthing interfire
I've heard the subs and was actually pretty impressed for the price and the fact that they were in a sealed box [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

O I have had great experience with coustic aswell, good stuuf, good price.

And slow/n\low, what makes an amp for competition, who uses a HL drag queen for daily use? thats kinda what i meant i guess. Maybe like driving around with a A6000gti on a sub, well maybe i would. I see what you mean , and i think wording was a problem with what i said. Maybe what i was classifying as a competition amp was like something you would see people using at db drag or sumthen, which i haven't seen interfire at all, thats all i meant by that, just like i don't see a whole lotta coustic, got nuthin against them tho......
whoa man am i ever confused [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] I think i'm just gonna go now....
