Worth It?

[Budah93 7]

I still have my 15" sundowns and I've recently been offered a pretty good deal on this amp. I was wondering if it's better than my current amp found here.

[Julian 641]

Probably not

[Budah93 7]

Why wouldn't it? Just curious

[Julian 641]

There would be no audible difference.

[Budah93 7]

isn't the hfi series kind of crappy though? Just what I've heard on here and SMD, i'm thinking more along the lines of longevity not necessarily audible difference

[Julian 641]

Meh.

[Budah93 7]

You personally would stick with the hifonics?

[///M5 2,833]

Only garbage on SMD

[Julian 641]

If the price is THAT great then why not.. but why change when there are no likely benefits?

[Budah93 7]

I just question the longevity and overall quality of the hifonics. I got it for free so i'm really not losing if I blow it I was just wondering if the AQ is of better quality than the hifonics

[ricksi30 923]

What are the specifics of the "good deal"?

[Budah93 7]

Dont really want to put the full specifics out but let's just say damn near free

[ricksi30 923]

Well if you don't want us to know then why ask? Are you performing sexual favors for it or something?

[Budah93 7]

No but last time I put out a good deal I got tons of pm asking for hook ups. I was just wondering if it would be worth it to sell my hifonics and pick up the aq

[codester 48]

Its always nice to have a spare amp or two...... or half dozen or so

[Budah93 7]

i would most likely sell the hifonics to get the aq

[///M5 2,833]

Sell them both and buy a real amp.

[pmureika 31]

The AQ is a much better choice than hifonics.It may not be the best but they are good!

[Budah93 7]

Sell them both and buy a real amp.

define a real amp

[shizzzon 461]

A genuine, not counterfeit, artificial, or imitation electronic device that takes a small electric signal and converts it into a large one.

[Budah93 7]

I meant what amp is he thinking. I don't like this hifonics at all its makes my subs sound muddy no matter how I tune it so an upgrade is in the near future. Really don't want to go over $350-$400 and probably right around 1500 rms

[shizzzon 461]

I do not like anything owned by Maxxsonics.

List of my choices-

Crescendo Audio

Sundown Audio

DC Soundlab

Audiopipe - APK

All of these offer great CS and expected performance.

[BigGuy 22]

M5, what amps were you thinking?

[Impious 1,476]

I don't like this hifonics at all its makes my subs sound muddy

That's more than likely not the amp's fault.

[Budah93 7]

Than what is it? It's the only thing that's changed in my system. This is the only amp i've used that sounds muddy. I also have 2 people i know that have similar issues with the same line of amp. just saying
