Customer Testimonial

Installed an Avital 4103 Keyless Entry and Remote Starter. Learned you need to go to a website which could only be accessed by dealers for the installation information. Sonic's technicians made sure I had this information; installation would not have been possible without their help. Thanks Sonic!

These amplifiers boast a wide set of features such as a built in diagnostic mode that will detect shorted speaker leads, low impedance, dangerous high temperatures, DC shorts and will shut down the amp to help prevent damage. Pledge allegiance to your empire and prepare to be engulfed by the power of Hifonics.

Look I have got to be honest about this product. It is a awesome piece of equipment. I have installed car audio systems since 1994. I have had all the brands. This amp is built like a tank. I got is hooked up to two 12 inch Type R D4's and it hits so deep and clean. It looks sleek and requires a 200 amp fuse, which means it is going to give you a little something extra. Not to mention this thing is really small. I replace my XX Zeus with this and even though this is more powerful than the XX Zeus it is WAY smaller. The only thing it needs is adjustable freq on the bass boost like the Colossus.
