I Purchased this hifonics amplifier and had my whole system professionally installed at a local shop. I Received a call later that evening that the amplifier was toast right out of the box. I even visited the shop a little later, and sure enough the amplifier was not outputting power. Either way i learned my lesson and replaced the hifonics product with a 500 watt kicker amp that was inspected at the factory and passed all quality control tests. Chalk this up to either bad luck or a sketchy product. Seemed like quite a few people liked this product though and had good luck with it.

This dumb amp has wasted so much of my time it's ridiculous. I ordered two of these things n both turned out to be defective. The first not putting out any power at all. The second putting out very little power not being able to push my single 12" Kicker L5. I just ordered a Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D hoping it will be way better than this garbage amp. If you been thinking bout buying this amp, don't. Just save up a little more and buy yourself the BRZ1200.1D which is CEA certified unlike this amp. Tech himself told me this amp pushes 600watts out at the most. Hope this helps anyone who has any doubts bout this amp.

I recieved this amp, hooked it up, and was amazed when it barely even moved an L3. I had to turn the gain and bass boost all the way up before i could feel anything. Yes, everything was hooked up right. I took my chances on an iffy, non-CEA 2006 compliant amp and it backfired on me.
