New Hifonics

[maseyferguson05 10+ year member]

I just got mine in the mail and one thing i did notice was that on the sides, is plastic. All other models are metal. Its right where you screw it in. Whatever, i'm happy with it.

Just wanted to see what other people thought of this. Probably just as strong...

[maseyferguson05 10+ year member]

Does it eve have the lights that go alog the horizontal lines. They really cheaped out on the new model.

Hifonics is known for being a cheap budget amplifier so that doesn't surprise me. You get what you pay for.

It would seem as though they made them less expensive on the outside to put more into the inside:

We removed the chrome and additional 9 LED's and put the money in a new glass pcb, upgraded the the Driver board and better output devices.
This will even further improve the efficiency, reduce heat and extend the life of the amp.

The amp was a huge sucess at CES and they are currently in stock and shipping.

The new GP were also a big hit and got the same upgrades (yes, the new GP3000.1D-Pro has more power).

Thanks for asking.
The BXi2610D is the biggest amp in Brutus at this time.

It is 2600 - 2680 watts RMS tested on an Audio Precision II at 1-Ohm, 14.4v, 60Hz and 1%THD & N.

All of the Brutus amps have changed from 08 to 10 on the last two numbers in the model number.

I would still like to see someone other than Maxxsonics post some bench numbers on the BXi XX10 series though.

Great another dummy who has to talk shit about Hifonics.

I have had almost every Maxxsonics product, from the cheap lines of Autotek, to the mean machines and had a MB Quart and now the Hifonics 2608d, without one problem ever and some might not do rater power, but for the price point, the do just fine. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

With the exception of the XX line, Hifonics is a swap meet brand. Look on EBAY you can find them a dime a dozen. They have never been the same since ZED audio left the company.

There are a whole bunch of dummies that believe the same thing about Hifonics.

[Visit the Team Maxxsonics web site]

As the 2007 competition season has recently come to an end, Team Maxxsonics closes out another successful year in style. Incredible teamwork, good sportsmanship and sacrifice paid off as Team Maxxsonics has once again proven that they are the most dominant car audio team in the industry!

2007 achievements are as follows:

9 World Records

5 US Records

26 State Records

257 1st place trophies

97 2nd place trophies

51 3rd place trophies

Note worthy are the accomplishments of the following Team Maxxsonics members:

Eric Alexander of Livewire Electronics in Columbus, Ohio, veteran competitor and 14 time World Finalist in dB Drag and MECA, amazed the crowd at MECA World Finals during his record setting Drive-By runs. Eric put up an incredible 136.7dB. This is 3.5dB over the previous record! Not only did Eric do this once, but he honored the crowd with a second run and was over 137dB before his windshield broke from the pressure. Eric was awarded the SPL Best of Show trophy, World Championship in Modex 3 for his score of 162.5dB, World Championship in DB5 and winner of the prestigious Alma Gates Cup for loudest Drive-By score at World Finals. Eric’s entertained spectators, set World Records, and won World Championships in his Chevy Astro using 12 Hifonics Olympus 2412 subwoofers and 6 Crunch GP3000D-Pro amplifiers.
