lifes a BOX Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 just wondering whats new besides the led lights.. if its better than the old brz then it could be a go here ya go what the fuck is even different in the new lines of amplifiers that they are releasing? Reply: Improved D-Class driver board, 6 component value upgrades (all that was needed), larger traces on a couple critical signal paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifes a BOX Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I don't what's worse, the fact you run VVME, and bash Hifonics, or the fact you picked VVME over a Digital Designs sub Show me a good sub for $60 that is built like the RD-12 My sub beats any similar hifonics sub. Show me a 700w rms hifonics sub for $60 that will handle 700w rms daily and doesn't have a plastic cover on the magnet ok.... http://www.sonicelec...-OLM1600D2.html 1600 w rms for $200. yeah I really doubt it can handle that. its not $60 but i bet it will handle 700w+ daily, and look sonic says xmax is 33.5mm no plastic cover on the magnet either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 and to be clear im not bashing hifonics.. just the brz line and even more the hfi line.. just like fosgate. i wouldnt buy the prime line just because it says fosgate i know the colossus can be a beast of an amp. but like many companies they have to make cheaper amps to get people in edit:i could have worded it better but blah.. my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hifonics is a good budget brand. I was helping my friend pick out stuff for his build, and I showed an AQ 1200, he told me he couldn't afford it, so I showed him a BRZ 1200 instead, the AQ 1200 is $269 while the BRZ 1200 is $140, sure the AQ is more efficient, and little more powerful, but he's not into getting rated power, or numbers, or anything, he just wants a decent sounding system, and he told me the BRZ 1200 would work great. That's the point of Hifonics, to be a good budget brand company for those not looking to do numbers, or something crazy, just a decent sounding system. Though in my case, I would pick the AQ 1200 over the BRZ1200 because I have a matching 4 channel 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will it handle rated power? My cheap $60 sub does. Given hifonics reputation I would bet that it won't handle 1600w rms. Isn't it funny how a 1750w rms 12" from SSA is nearly $450, but hifonics is only 150 w less and is half the price? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 2010 HHR LT - DNX 6160 - sony xec-700 - sony xm-4040 for door mids - XM-6020 for tweets in a-pillar - saz1500d v1 - VVME RD-12 1.75 f^3 32hz guru and president of the "cheap asses trying to beat up the block with bargain bin woofers" club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I have 2 low cost Hifonics 12" subs in my daughters car on Rockford Fosgate 800s amp and they sound damn good. Been taking a beating for a year now with no problems. Where does one look for a Hifonics Mt.Olympus Amp? A quick google search and all I found was the Hifonics website with the amp listed.

SLAYER1805 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Speaking of magnet covers How do you know the hifonics will not do what it's rated for??? How about you purchase the amplifier since its so cheap and let us know? Please I don't really like chrome with blue lights on amps. Just like I don't like hifonics subs with their CHROME and PLASTIC magnet covers. Simple fact: My amp beats any similar hifonics amp My sub beats any similar hifonics sub. Show me a 700w rms hifonics sub for $60 that will handle 700w rms daily and doesn't have a plastic cover on the magnet VVME should put some magnet covers on their subs, the magnets look cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
