some people on here say I am a noob which in the grand aspect of things I guess I am, but imagine if you guys had to deal with a real noob. One of my not so close friends tried convincing me his 1000rms best buy bought alpine amp was better than my 1600rms hifonics, I know hifonics isn't the greatest but really its better than a alpine. he told me my new xcon would be louder off of his amp, I just laughed at him. He hasn't even heard the xcon yet.

I foresee you getting flamed for this thread....I'd retract that statement now just to save the embarrassment.

well he really doesnt know anything about audio, sry I have been up for 2 days, to much soda, well to whoever thinks this is a bad topic i'm sorry.

In all honesty, I side with him. Alpine is a much more reputable and respected company than Maxxsonics.

Who cares though? Your friend is trying to puff his chest up and look cool, and you are too. Audio should not be a popularity contest, save that for high school. You both seem happy with your amps so there is no sense in competing, we all have our opinion, but be happy with what you like.

true, very true. I do wish I could get a sundown amp or something as good, because when I tested the xcon 2 months ago when I first got it, I could tell the amp maxed out before the xcon did, plus I am one of those people who don't like there amp to be stressed all the time, when i bought this hifonics I ran it at 2 ohm into a 1000 watt sub and the amp always ran cool.
