How are hifonics amps? Cause I'm looking at a hifonics 5ch amp and I was wondering how do they perform.

 

i have been out of the audio stuff for a few yrs, but they used to be known for under rating their amps, alot of them being used in competition set ups..dont know about the new ones??

 

Hifonics: cheap, powerful amps. reliability is about an 8/10, I had a brand new one that shut off after hours of driving though.

 

What about soundstream?

 

Soundstream's old stuff used to be real good. they're still decent, not as good as they used to be though.

so conlusion: both company's are decent mainstream.

 

Soundstream is good, but it's true, not as good as they once were. The old Tarantulas were awesome amps, better than the new ones. Reference are quality reliable old school sounds amps and mine have been quite reliable.

 

Right now its between

I would def ditch those two ideas and get the eclipse 5 channel.

 

If I had the money I would but I don't have that kind of money to get a eclipse 5 channel.

Isn't that a little under powered?

 

go with the hifonics. I have tried both hifonics (old & new) & Soundstream(old & new) soundsh!t oh a stream definately lost its kick(merged w/ power acoustic=more ****) Hifonics are still runnin strong they merged with maxx sonic/mb quart = good

 

in my opinion have you looked at the kicker zx750? i bought one, first one **** the bed after 3 hours playing, but i warrantied it and the new one does a great job. not spectacular but for 275 i got 70x4 at 4 ohm and 420x1 at 2 ohm. powering 4 alpine typ-r speakers and an id12d4 v3 and it sounds great.

 

there exellant

 

I went with hi fonics too, great bang for the buck, stable down to 1ohm and gave me strong bass for my subs...
