Many people believe Hifonics is overrated, so what percentage are they(i've heard mixed testimonies, so im curious). Also what about other brands such as Boss? List other companies you think are overrated, and give me your percentage of its listed output it gives.

This is just out of curiosity as to what people have experienced or heard, so post!

pyle, legacy, and pyramid probably overrates by about 1000%

And newer Hifonics aren't overrated any longer I believe, their ratings are about dead on

If under-rating is also in this thread I vote Sundown and Kicker amps

The older Brutus line from 2002-2004 I belive were the over rated ones , somebody had a BX1500 tested and it and it only made a little over 900 watts at 1 ohm .

As stated earlier the newer lines do rated power , though I am not sure exactly what changes were made to them .

Boss , Soundstorm , Legacy and other bottom feeding audio companies rate their amps with ILS ratings (If Lighting Strikes) and would NEVER hit their numbers unless you pump a lot of voltage into them .

oh yea, the new US Amps Xterminator are overrated.

As far as underrating goes, you can't beat RF amps
