Everything is subjective to the listener. Some people hate on Hifonics and Maxxsonics in general and some people think it's a good value. From what I've seen it's pretty good durable stuff that does what it's supposed to.

I typically only comment if I have factual things to discuss about products.

As long as when you(or your customers) purchase hifonics you(they) understand that you(they) are not getting rated 90% of the time, you(they) will be ok.

They are not "bad" persay, but to be honest when you consider what they really do for power there are other options in some cases. Not all cases though as hifionics has become one of "those" brands that cheap enough to not worry about any of the specs to much.

So what brands are comparable in that price range (or close) that do rated? I'm getting a new amp soon. All I need is about 800 @ 2 ohms. Don't feel like beefing up my electrical all that much. I was actually looking pretty hard at Hifonics.

With such a lower power, there are tons of options. Most will net close to the same price as Hifonics though. It would take some looking around through my notes and current pricing to find amps that would fit your needs and be in the price range.

Ok. Fair enough. While I got you here I ordered 2 DCON 10's. Is that 800 going to be enough. I know they're rated at 300 a piece but you can overpower those pretty good right? 100 extra a sub isn't going to hurt em?

800 will be fine. You can adjust the amp to ensure the subs are pushed well, but not overly so.

Good deal. Gonna be hittin' you up for an enclosure soon too... Seeing as how you're in my general area.

Yep, only a few hours away. Just picked up a build for a guy up that way actually. He threw me few extra bucks to bring it up there for him.

Up? Where are you OKC? I see you've got St. Louis listed too. Lived there for 6 years. South side. That's where my wife is from. Cool city. Just gotta watch your P's and Q's. LOL!
