There are always decent amps changing hands on this site.
personally i think that hifonics are overpriced and overrated. If you're gonna spend that kind of money you might as well go after MMATS or US AMPS mang

You're talking about over priced amps and you're recommending US Amps or MMats?...

Maxxsonics has a lot of different offerings from the Hifonics line that offers great power to the Crunch line that offers great value...

The only problem I see with them is that they have no Canadian distributor or support right now so it would be hard to get service from them if the need arises.

If you want hifonics you have to get it online form the states, and they are one of the cheepest alternatives for the $ you can get.

Comparing them to us amps or mmats is absurd.

every amp has its share of issues.
More info man on which model amps were off in the RMS range

The ones that seem to be over rated slighty are the BXI, TXI, and the ZXI. As for the XX, Maxxius & Goliath they are pretty much bang on.
