This amp - Hifonics HFi100.4 (HFi 100.4) 4-Channel Car Amplifier/Amp

OR

this amp

I'm looking mainly for SQ, but I want it to get loud. Both have 100x4 RMS, and .05 THD

Which ones better?

I'm liking the MB Quart one since I already have MB Quart components and matching brands is best I heard.

The Discus series amps ain't bad.

It doesn't matter if your equipment "matches" or not...

Both amps were built my maxxsonics, probably would do just about rated power..

flip a coin and take your pic..

I prefer the chassis design on the mb quart though

I like the look of the Hifonics, and it should do slightly more power according the ratings.....

You should be happy with either, and they should preform about the same..... cosmetics and name brand recognition will probably be your deciding factors....

Ok so the SQ should be the same?

Hifonics has always seemed like a "cheapo" brand to me, since everything from them is cheap (as in price, like $35 subs lol) so I've just been skeptical of them

Neither are SQ quality amps. You may could find a used amp in the classifieds with a lot better sound for around the same money. Unless you just have your heart set on the Maxxonics.

Hifonics and MB Quart are both Maxxsonics products. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I don't want to start kicking a dead horse... so I'm not even going to say anything...

Understood, was just putting it out there.

Someone wanna find me one for around $100 in the classifieds then? Good SQ while loud?

Ive always had good luck with the old A/D/S PQ10's or 20's for sound quality and loud at the same time. Im my opinion the older A/D/S amps are perfect for what your looking for.
