You can't really tell by the photos, but the coil is unraveled, the spider is seperated and crunchy toasty, and tinsel leads changed color they got so hot. They are now brittle and the slightest movement causes them to snap. I've never seen a sub damaged this bad! It was wired to 1ohm parallel...

I had it only 2 weeks before the coils were burnt to a crisp by a friend in my absence. Apparently, he assumed that because the MP3 he was playing was louder than the rest, it was OK to turn it up even LOUDER. My guess is that he clipped the hell out of the amp. All is well, I just sent it in...

Hi guys- I'm trying to figured out a way to get Line level input on my factory Chrysler 300c radio. I have the satellite tuner in the trunk and noticed the following diagram in the Service Manual. As you can see, the only wiring going INTO the radio is a line level signal with a common...

LOOK OUT WORLD ITS A POST COUNT NAZI. haha Since when is being called dramatic an insult. Oh I get it, when someone receives critizism about something that may be true they get offended... Its a bit of chrome man, chill out. High School kids aren't going to be running out and buying the...

You must have taken drama in highschool. Eclipse 8443: 2005 Eclipse 8445 Go find something else to ***** about. They look remarkably similar, one has a shinier finish.

I have been following that thread over at sound domain and I'm not sure I follow why these new decks are so ugly to everyone. Have you seen the Pioneers that everyones been using for so long? The new eclipses look quite similar to the Pioneers, yet I don't see anyone *****ing about them? I'm a...

Yeah I searched every forum on the net and found multiple cases where FM reception was an issue with the Hifonics Brutus line. But there are also quite a few people that never had any FM issues. It must be a build quality issue with the PSU? I spoke with hifonics and they claimed the switching...

I hope that was in jest, because the lead installer for Tru Technology dialed my amp in and upgraded my Big 3. The amp is crap. "Good for the money" ....

I'd avoid the Hifonics forum boner. I hate my BX1000D and it is being replaced by an Xtant 1001dx. I had the chance to compare it to a DEI Viper 1200.1 and I was blown away how much better my brahma sounded. The hifonics power supply puts out so much noise, that I cannot get ANY FM reception...

Why do people keep recommending XXX comps when they don't even exist? XXX mids are the only part being made. You would have to find a crossover and tweet to match. I'm running the OZ audio Matrix 180cs set and couldn't be happier. I've compared with Diamond Hex, Alpine Type-R, Boston Pros, and...

Whats your address. I want to come steal that rug. haha. Nice to see someone piece together everything at once. Let us know how you like those Van Goghs. I was eyeing them for my highs. They are sexy...

It still cracks me up EVERY single one of you jumping down my throat owns a Hifonics. I own one too. You don't see me insulting anyone's intelligence or opinions. You guys are a bunch of *****es. I'd be ignorant if I didn't own or have any experience with one of these amps. The mounting tabs...

I assume that the BX1500D benchtests I've read are plenty enough evidence to assume that this BX1000D is over rated too. I purchased it knowingly . Even though the tests were not done at a full 14.4 volts. Most cars don't run a steady 14.4 at the amp anyway. Real World Vs Bench. I give it a...

Are you related to this amp at the hip? Do you cuddle it at night? You're insulting someone because they are describing their experience with a product. Right on dude. Defend your amp. Defend it to the death!

I haven't ruled out the possibility I got a bad apple and reaching that conclusion through deductive logic before I bother wasting my time sending it back. That still doesn't mean the amp is a high quality device. The Zip ties holding the "coils" within the amp came snapped from the factory...
