Ha ha, me and two of my friends MADE that list.

Hifonics is great for the price. Personally, I only like their XX Line...great amps.

NG

 

Im just saying,
Their not efficient at all.
bx1600 draws more current than viper 2500 lol

 

What'd you test this with, a DMM and a DC amperage Clamp meter?

NG

 

My buddy ran em,
he tested it with fusing on burps i belive,
Anyways the hifonics dimmed alot more than the viper.

 

Duh. The viper make rated power @ 2ohms, while the BX Makes rated power @1ohm. BX will pull more current because of a lower impedance. ...also which Hifonics are you talking about?

NG


PS: Also, no where near the correct way to justify one as being ****ty...and the other as not. Maybe the viper wasn't making full power

 

Im pretty sure he was running both at 1 ohm lol
bx1600

 

Too bad the Viper2500.1 is not stable @1 ohm

NG

 

impedence rise, my friend, impedence rise

 

Hofonics sucks, I learned that from experience. The amps don't last long at all.

 

9 times out of 10 when someone says "Brand x sucks"! what they really mean is "I/we did something wrong". There really are no brands out there that just out and out suck. Anyone can make the best product in the world sound horrible, on the other side of the coin, a very experienced installer can make entry level product sound unreal. For example we took a Mitsubishi Eclipse full of Digital Audio product (a division of Audiobahn) and took 3rd place in the USACi world finals for sound quality, yep it is true.

Basically go with what you like, and make sure you go to a reputable shop to install the product. Not everyone can afford the high end product (I.E. Zapco, Morel, TRU-Technology) so you have to start out somewhere. If you want reliable info on car audio products, stick to car audio forums, not always a car audio portion of a car forum, OR seek out the individuals who do this for a living, and have some serious knowledge to back it up. Good test, What does R.M.S. ACTUALLY mean?

This post is in no way to belittle anyone (individual or company) just to inform.
