Great amp for the price. Just be prepared to upgrade some electrical a bit. They're power-hungry fo sho.

  1. I have had no problems with Hifonics amps. I have the Collossus LTE on 3 - 12" Alpine Type Rs. This amp gives it plenty of power and it never heats up. In fact, the Zeus 80.4 that I have on my door speakers gets hotter than it. But haven't had an issue with them so far. Can't speak on Crescendo amps but I keep hearing good things from them. I think at the end it all boils down to what your budget is and what goal your trying to achieve.

they are great budget amps but i'd much rather save up and get the better amp.

This.

All BS aside, the fact is: they market their amps to be flashy and shiny. Terminal illumination, light-up logo. CHROME, CHROME, and more CHROME. chain link...etc.

Lots of people report NOT DOING ACTUAL RMS RATINGS. The 2400 doing only 1800....

It seems to buy a hifonics amp is a gamble and you can probably start a local bet with your buddies on how close to actual RMS wattage the amp does. Kinda like on the price is right.

Final thought: hifonics is good for your first amp. But you save up for something like DC, DD, sundown. You can find GREAT prices on them from craigslist.

If you do go hifonics, get them from sonic electronics. They are $124 for the 1krms vs $200-$300 at frys.

ok awesome thanks for the input I think I can probably hold out and get something nicer... especially if I can race against the clock and get some money together and grab one of those AQ amps before they finish switching over to Q amps

Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol

I run a hifonics but I want a better amp. I choose the crescendo 5500 and DC 5k would suit my needs best!

I, like me some hifonics, but if you can get a deal on something good used, is go with that. I might be picking up a used Stetsom 7k for the price of two bre2500.1s. U just gotta find a deal.

They are good for budget amps but I would wait and get something nice some guys on here sell some good amps for a good price im waiting also for a good deal to come thru so I could switch my hifonics for a good amp
