I didn't say go out and buy a hifonics amp buddy. I know hifonics isn't the best either. I was staying on topic unlike you and stating my opinion which is what the topic started wanted.

with that said, why would you stay away from audiopipe, but not hifonics?

I have heard a lot more good stuff about hifonics then I have audiopipe.

I have heard a 3000 watt audiopipe amp hooked up to two audiopipe 15s. Along with 3 audiopipe caps in a tahoe and it didn't sound that great.

Well the guy said it was 3000 watts but who knows. He is an audiopipe dealer too. He is a jackass though. He thinks he has the loudest system in arkansas and memphis. But a couple weeks ago he was at a comp that i went to and he had two audiopipe 15s running 2000 watts to each of them in some little car and he hit a 142 and ended up blowing on of the 15s.

edit: oh and the reason i got the hifonics amp is because I got a good deal on it. I got it for $180 along with some 4 guage wire and a 200a inline fuse.

I was planning on getting a memphis amp.

but most likely it doesn't do the rated power..

not saying it's not baddass, but it's probly overrated

 

[matrxx dude 5,000+ posts]

bxi models are overrated,xx models are the better class hifonics,they do rated power

the most recent xx goliath tested in ca&e didn't...im not sure which one it was rated at 5000wrms only did 4600 at the highest rating

4600 is plenty for anyone imo, nor am i sayingthat the amp is not baddass, but if i paid for 5k id like to get 5k

So what's the deal? I have mixed opinions here the internals look pretty beefy and it is CEA rated to do 2000RMS. Which most of the time that means they do rated power and more. I just want to know about the durabilty and dependabilty. Is it well built or piece that will blow up in no time?

John Carr is hitting 161+ with 6 15" audiopipe subs and 3 of the 2000watt amps. They seem to hold up fairly well for the abuse he is giving them.
