Actually if you took apart RF amps and compare them to decent amps that cost less or about the same like Hifonics, PG, or even profile, THEN you would see HOW bad they are.

They are not bad like companies: pyle, legacy, pyramid, etc...but they are bad because they don't use high quality stuff like they used to. The stuff in the amp is what really matters and if its only decent then it shouldn't be in the upper or even middle class of amps. RF used to be good because they used good stuff. PPI, DEI, Viper, and Orion all use same boards but have little differences. They always used good stuff and are in the upper class of amps.

PPI, DEI, Viper, Directed, and Orion are true top of the line, upper class amps.

Hifonics, PG, Ultimate, JL, and Alpine would be in the mid upper class.

Profile, RF, Visonik, and soundstorm are possibly in the middle.

Kenwood, Audiobahn, Pioneer, and JBL are in the mid lower.

At the bottom of amps are Sony, Lanzar, Kole, and Power acoustik.

There are different variations on how you can categorize amps, but basically its up to the internals of the amp. Upper have similar insides. Upper Mid have boards that are totally different but similarily made. Middle class is just an average amp.

However, RF is not put in the mid upper because they don't use the internals that are of above average quality and decency.

Comparing the newer RF amps, I actually found that Profile are similar or even better in SQ and have similar internals. Honestly I would go Profile over RF. Profile seems to be better rated among sound competion enthusiasts and cost 60%-75% less than RF. If a RF amp costs $350 then a profile would cost $120.

Aren't things usually worth what you pay for. RF is just not worth it when comparing to something much miuch more cheaper and similar in quality.

RF is an amp that "Best Buy" sells, and most of the stuff in best buy for SPL or SQ is not that great. Amps that are not sold in best buy are probably better.
