Winner, hands down
When i bought this amp, i was skeptical because of the long hated line of Hifonics products.
When i got this amp, i hooked it up to my Kicker 15" L7... i had the amp at a 2 ohm load giving the L7 a good 750 rms and damn... It sounded like that L7 had a full on 1000 rms load going into it.. I had to tape down various plastic pieces in the back of my car and secure my trunk with padding...
Get...this..amp. Also check out the 1200.1D brutus series.. That is my current amp!

true power
Wicked little amp its a true 1000 rms I have it on a 2010 Rockford fosgate T1D215 in the high output vent box running in 1 ohm I swear I think if I turned the gain past 3/4 I could make that T1 15 start popping. It hits just as hard as my buddys 2 l7 15inch with a Rockford fosgate 1000.1 amp. Great great amp.

I have a Chevy Astro van it's hard to get speakers to thump in that big of an area. But my Hifonics amp with my two 12s, Boss speakers, really do the job. I love the quality sound i get with them. Thanks.

Bad A**
I have this amp pushing 2 Kicker CVR 12's at 2ohm in my 95 Civic Sedan. This amp is Nasty!! My subs are currently in a sealed box that is a bit to small for the subs and it still pounds hard, everything rattles. Building a ported box to specs and they will hit even harder.
The amp never over heats (and its tucked in an area with almost no air flow).
I very highly recommend this amp to anyone. Its cheap and has more than plenty of power!!

Powerful little Amp
I was first pointed to this amp when I was looking for a monoblock to power my 2 Rockford P1's when I first got into the whole Car Audio thing. It was cheap compared to a lot of the other amps, and the specs were better than the 2 channel Kenwood I had running my subs before.
When I got it, I must say I was a little surprised at its size. Relatively small compared to my previous one, but I had my car stereo enthusiast neighbor help me hook it up, and tune everything just right. The difference was like night and day. Maybe it was because the "professionals" who hooked up my stuff at ABC Warehouse were not so professional, or maybe this is just a much better amp, but regardless it worked great and it has been for nearly 2 years now.
I'm currently powering 2 ten inch Alpine Type R's with this 1000 watt monoblock and they still sound amazing, and right around what you need for them.
The only downside that comes to mind is that rap songs, or any song with a lot of continuous heavy bass, at loud volumes, can cause the amp to shut off and go into protect mode. This really isn't such a bad thing, as it protects the product you paid for, but its just a little inconvienent because I can't get the thing to go back to normal without turning my car off, and then back on again. I figured turning the headunit off, and turning the power off to the amp, then letting it sit 15 minutes would do the trick, but no luck.
Still works great, and I just tuned the gain down a tiny bit so that doesn't happen anymore.
Really no complaints. Good solid amp, just the right amount of power, and it was quick and easy to swap out my 2 channel amp for this one. So for 150$, this is a steal to me.

Great Amp for price
This is a great amp for the price. I have 1 pushing 2 PowerBass 2XL subwoofers and it shakes my whole car. I even have some cheap 4 gauge wire. Soon i'll be getting soon a Kicker amp kit. I'm pretty sure it will sound way louder.

I've owned this amp for a few months and I love it. I have yet to experience an overheat problem even during extended bass sessions at full volume. I also just love look of it and the way the mounts are set in the back (while slightly annoying during install) make for a very clean looking install.

Nice little amp!
I needed an amp to power two NVX DVC 10" subs but also take up very little space. This thing over delivers, it's compact enough it can very easily fit under a seat or in other tight spaces and is very well constructed.
I have it pushing out about 350 RMS @ 1ohm to my two 10's as that's their RMS rating, and they absolutely pound my car. The amplifier and subs paired together make super crisp and clean bass, no drool and no fuzzy sound. Very snappy tight bass but believe me this amp has no problems feeding my subs when deep lows from music kicks in, it gets amazingly low and has no problems with overheating at all even at high volumes with rock or hip hop, and it's in my spare tire area with a pastic/carpeted cover on top of it.
Overall I give this amp a 5/5 because it delivers everything it's rated for, has great SQ and SPL capabilities, great looks and design.

Buyer beware
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.

Holy wow
This has thoroughly beat on my 12" Volfenhags and my 15" Diamond D6. The power coming out of this tiny, low-end amp is unbelievable, not to mention it stays cool even when maxed out. Granted, judging by the built-in fuse, it can theoretically only push out 960W max, but for the price, how can you beat that?

Powerful
I have to say I was shopping for a while trying to find an amp that would give me the power i need with SQ. although this amp is not CEA 2006 compliant at 14.4 volts it will put out the rms it claims. It makes my 2 10" in a ported box bang hard but also sound good. The amp does not overheat at all for me.
I have a friend that has the hifonics colossus amp with two 12" MTx 9500
And that amp makes those subs work. I'm just giving that as an example that surprisingly enough hifonics is top quality stuff. If you have concerned if hifonics is what they advertise I can yes it is. To tell you the truth it's the name when you buy kicker or alpine.. A lot of people have those brands so that's why most people will over look hifonics. It's a win win if you buy hifonics you save money. A lot of money then take that extra money and upgrade to a better sub or maybe a nice pair of infinity component speakers. The last thing I will say
Hifonics does make cea 2006 compliant amps and either way you can't go wrong

Best Bang for your buck!
I was a little skeptical of Hifonics because of the power they claimed with such a low price, but i took the gamble and I couldn't be happier. I have it hooked up to 2 pioneer TS-W308D4's wired down to 1 ohm. It powers them very well. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that these things do rated power. My 2 12's are louder than my friends 4. I had them metered and hit a 143! I'm about to buy a Brutus BRZ2400 for a set of 18's. Definitely will stay with Hifonics for a while!

Is power what you demand? Then power is what you'll get
This baby will supply you with all the power you need. It's one of the better if not best bang for buck amplifiers you can purchase here. It's very efficient, compact, durable and powerful. I've had this for 6 months and it still runs like new. I can't be any happier. However, I will be upgrading to a stronger amp from Hifonics after I buy an additional subwoofer for my system.
Pros:
PRICE
Big power
Long lasting
Small
Runs cool
Cons:
NONE
Tips:
Make sure you break-in the amp. Not doing so can cause pre-mature failure.

The most bang for the buck
You can't buy a better amp for the money. This is a true high power low dollar amp. Have this small footprint beast wired at a 2 Ohm load to an alpine 12 swx-1243d, and hold on this pair hits hard.

GOOD ONE
Bought this amp a year ago.
Initially to power my Murano 2009 withKicker 10cvr10-4 2010 Comp Vr Series 10 Inch 4 Ohm Dual Voice Coil 800 Watt Car Subwoofer at 2 ohms
I have got this sub setup in 1Cbuft sub box laced with poly fill cloth inside stringed at 2 ohm in my Nissan Murano sourced from Rear speakers at full range.
The hifonics Amp is pumping out 400 W RMS to it exactly hitting the sweet spot.(Mind these are marketing wattage rates on the amps)
I did got the confirmation from Kicker and Hifonics to arrive at the sweetspot.
WOHAAA .. more than enough bass that my ears can take ;-) (Again depends on your hearing levels ;))
I am generally running the car stereo from my AUX MP3 player and some times CD. This amp and sub combination rocks.
I keep the bass level in general at half way on my deck and sub level at 3/4 TO Rock the car.
Later I have upgraded my Amp to Hifonics zx2000 1.d and put an existing Sony 300 w woofer in Murano and shifted the 1000.1d setup to My Accord 2012. As accords Sony amp was anemic and Sony sub required more power to push it to rocking levels. You know what the same rocking performance repeats in Accord too.
One word of caution. your speaker needs to be setup at 2 ohms to rock the hell out of sub. at 4 ohms the amp is not powerfull enf.
Hope it helps.

But this amp still banged like crazy in my truck i would recommend this amp to anyone on a budget and wants to get crazy loud bass. I myself returned it for the 1500.1d wich is what i should have bought but didnt listen. My bad. But Sonic Electronix exchanged it for the other one after paying the difference this is my 6th purchase from them never had any regrets. I love Sonic Electronix

Pretty Powerful Amplifier
Let's start by saying this amplifier will push anything you put on it. It does not even heat up when playing at high levels and the sub almost blew off my trunk. Love for what I payed for it and will use it until it gives away. Definitely recommend this product.

Big surprises in small packages
At first, I didn't think this amp would be anything special since the company who makes Hifonics equipment also owns Autotek (blecch!). I've had this hooked up for about two months though and it's nothing short of amazing. Mated with two 12" Volfenhag 1000W subwoofers, it blew my old setup right out of the water. The sound is so clean, too! It doesn't sound muffled or muddy like a lot of other budget-model amplifiers. If you need a good 1000W monoblock but don't have the money for higher-end brands like Alpine or Kicker, this model is worth every penny and won't disappoint.

Same thing happened to me but...
Got my amp ran 4 gauge to the batt and ground 16 gauge to the 3 10" JL W0s I was trying to power. Amp cut off, no thumping, messed with gains, boost knob, checked wiring. Still nothing, took it to an audio shop the next day and the guy said it looks like your amp is fried. So i got an RMA number from Sonic, and I waited entirely too long to send it back and 3 days ago I figured what the hell Ill plug her in and see what she does. Well she BANGED!!!! I have no idea what had happened to it before but she works now and thats all I care about! With the enclosure wired at 4ohms this amp has the potential to OVERPOWER 3 10" subs. Idk what was wrong in the first place but if they all bang like this it is a MUST BUY!!!

Horrible
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.

Hifonics HFI1000.
This small form factor amp is great IMO. Was able to fit it behind my 2007 Dodge Quad Cab passenger seats w/o having to cut any thing out! Pushing 2 (SVC 4ohm) 10" Kickers, wired for 2 Ohm load from the amp and they bump! Amp is putting out great power. I have 2 (6 Ohm) Audiobahn's that will replace these Kickers for a 1.5 Ohm load in the near future (need to mod the box just a bit for size), but I have no doubt this amp can push a couple of power hungry 6ohm sub's. Light doesn't bug me as I can't see it from where it's all installed but it is just a little bright, not a downer though.
Amp is very light, puts out lots of power, nice config options and for the price you can't go wrong for the every day neighborhood disturbance! My one complaint is the cheap plastic feel the amp has. But like I said it's not a heavy amp. I mean imagine running 4-6 10" or 12" subs with two of these. Not much weight coming from amp's but the boxes and subs (not that it matters if you're actually running that kind of power I guess) would be heavy.

Pretty much DOA
I Received the Hifi1000.1D amp today, I was very happy at first, plugged in all my power, speaker, remote wires etc etc. When I went to go turn it on, nothing. Only thing working was the protection & Logo light. I'm very mad about this. Seemed like it was cheaply made. It could either be the RCA plugin or + & - outputs for the subs. and also to add in, The remote bass controller seems cheap too. Plugged it in and the wires were loose and didn't have a good connection at all. The logo light on it was flickering just by touching the wire.

High quality for the price. True power output.
I would highly recommend this amplifier to anyone needing something around 1000 watts true RMS. I have this amp pushing two 10" Eclipse SW6010's. They are in a ported box built to spec. They didn't really come to life until I put this amp on them. I have owned a lot of different brands. From entry level all the way up to top of the line. This is not the best amp I have owned, but I can tell you it is more than worth the price there asking for it. Very well build, feels like it could take a beating and keep going. Sound quality is fairly high, although I have it setup for maximum sound. Only had it a few days but I am very impressed with this amplifier. If you debating if you should get this amp, I can tell you wont be disappointed with this. This is the second MaxxSonics product I have owned, and I feel like you get a lot of product for your money with them. I definitely won't go anywhere else for my amplifier needs.

Best power for the money! I have used Hifonics for at least 15 years. These new hfi still put out the power but for less money. I think the only difference is the signal input dosn't have the same range as their higher grade amps. Good power and good versatility on ohm loads.

Sounds amazing.
I've used for a few months now and it has definitely delivered.
Currently I have one powering 2 12" P2's at about 750W RMS and they sound beautiful. I can go on long road trips just blasting Dubstep and the amp doesn't heat up much at all.
Overall one of the best amps that I've worked with.
The only thing that I can think of that can use some improvement is the mounting points and the bass knob. The mounting points are plastic so be careful when mounting it to something. The bass knob on the other hand seems to get a little sloppy after a while but it still functions so its not really a problem.

Wow. All I have to say. Its such a small looking amp but the output is amazing. It has 2 CVR 10's in a ported box slamming the junk outta my friends car. running at a nice clean 2 ohms and never gets hot, warm to the touch, but far from hot. Definitely recommended this to anyone wanting to bump

Badass
Pushing a couple shallow mount subs at 2 ohms with this. Monster hits, can feel the air flow from the hits between the front seat of my cab, make sure to read the manual to make sure you tune it properly, plus the remote looks good and even has emblem that lights up. looks great and works well!

Great Vaule Amazing power
This am really does push out around 1000watts rms @1ohm, For the price it simply cannot be beat. Do some research before you buy most people are happy with these series of amps.

great amp
I'm powering two Orion XTR pros getting the 1000 watts @ 1ohm. It doesn't get hot and the bass knob is awesome and it has two non bridgeable channels. Later I can run them both at 750 watts @2 ohms each once they get broken in. Great size also.

Great Amp!!!
I have just installed this amp on two 12" alpine type R's and wow! this thing makes my whole car flex! most people say that running a setup at 1ohm make the amp heat up more but i can hold my hand on this thing the whole time its playing even when its all of the way. I like that it doesn't draw and excessive amount of power and i can play my car in acc position for about 45mins with my jam cranked all the way. Just get it. It has everything in store!

Great Buy!!!!!
I bought this amp 2 months ago and at first i bought this amp to try it out. I have to say that I'm impressed. I have the amp running at 750 Watts @ 2 ohms, the amp never gets hot never shuts down, it performs 100% up to this point. I am going to really test it by pushing it to the limit at 1000 watts @ 1 ohm. This amp really takes abuse because i play my stereo for 5-8 hours per day on Fr, Sat, Sun. I even turn the van on and let it run all night long till 4 AM and the thing does a perfect job. I will wright another review when i test 4 of these amps @ 1ohm with 8 woofers. Lets see if this amp would perform just as good with another application.

Two sets of terminals?
Does anyone know why these have two sets of terminals when it's supposed to be a mono block?

Aweosme amp
This is a great amp. Using a 4g amp kit on a normal car battery and just 13.8v @ the amp, I was able to get 690 watts from just a 2ohm load using the clamp test. Not to bad. It claims 750w@ 2ohms. But of course that's probably a bench test @14.4v. I need to get a yellow top battery soon. Anyway, i'm gonna enjoy this amp for a long time.

Good amp for good price
I would recommend this amp because it is a very well built amp that does have the right rms spec and is fairly small at a good price. Both of my CVR's feel like they are getting the right amount of power.

A Must Have!!
The amp does what its suppose to do and that's give all the power to my subs that they can handle. No cons at all...not really any pros other than it does what it is suppose to do and hasnt failed me yet. Ive only had it for 2 weeks so I will be back to do another review. Everything came in the box like it said and showed up on time. Easy to install. Im just now realizing if the blue hifonics badge lit up or not...I'll let you all know.

Great amp!
This is definitely a great amplifier, has really good power and is an awesome value. Only thing to complain about is once on a cold day the amplifier started to warm up and developed condensation and went into protection mode because of it. Reset the amp and it has been working without any more issues.
I guess this is a good thing rather than a complaint, just was odd that it would condensate to the point of protection mode. I wish the neon could be switched off as well. Badass amplifier otherwise!

Barely Works
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.

Great deal for people on a budget !!!
I bought this amp to even out the small stereo hook up I had on a Chevy Astro Van, and the amp performed 100% without any issues. I had it hooked up at a 2 ohm load. I really put this thing to the test and it never shut down. As far as never heating up, I let this thing play for 8 hours straight and NEVER A PROBLEM!!! I've been doing installations for 20 plus years and I like to push equipment to its permissible limit and this one passes with flying colors. Hifonics amps are great on power and great on the pocket!! If you are looking for CEA certified, look at BRZ models. These are not CEA certified, but do the job 100%.

Good Amp
This particular amp is performing well. I am very impressed and satisfied with it's performance. I have it pushing four 8inch Polk dual voice coil sub woofers and they are hitting. This is a great amp at a very reasonable price. And most of all it does not get hot and shut off. I drove from New Orleans to Dallas, TX and that is an eight hour drive and the amp performed all the way without getting hot and shutting off.

Great little amp
Very good amp. No distortion stays ice cold after 2hrs full blast at 2 ohms .I'm very happy with the versatility. Very heavy strong well made amp. Didn't know what to expect but it seems to be made as well as kicker/ Raf/eclipse /pioneer amps I have owned and better than all but rf/ eclipse. Great power and all connections are high quality. Very heavy amp.

I'm vary impressed with this amp! Running a single 2ohm 12 ported box. Still breaking in sub so haven't even pushed it out yet. Vary clean bass and the stock battery and alternator are just fine for this amp.

AWESOME!!
This amp exceeded my expectations by 1000. I paired it with two massive audio 10s, and I absolutely love it. Has plenty of power and never gets hot. A little bigger than expected in size, but everything is bigger in Texas, so im cool with it, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to run two 10s or 12s at 1ohm at 1000 watts.

good amp
They didn't post my other very detailed review. Probably because they sent me a factory refurbished amp and not new like I paid for. I was very upset about this but went ahead and installed it. Besides it not being new this amp pounds. I have it hooked up to a single 12 cerwin Vega vmax at 2 ohms, in a slot port box and it slams so hard u can feel it in your body. Appears to be good quality, its heavy. The light up HF badge is cool. It makes my lights dim slightly at 2 ohms, getting a cap to fix that. I bumped hard for a hour and it never even got warm, not even slightly. Not sure if the RMS are true but it pounds.

Hifonics HFi1000.1D
I never give feedback on anything so this is a first. I must say this amp is no joke at all. I'm running two 12 JBL-GT subs in a custom box that fits my mustang. I'm 43 so I need room in my trunk for things that pop up. I have this amp at 2ohms (HALF WAY) and brotha this thing pounds. I've had Rockford and many other amps in the past and this thing hangs right up there. One thing that's nice to is it comes with a bass control knob. It's a little cheap but it does the job for sure. If you are hesitating on this purchase, don't you wont be disappointed at all. One more thing, this amp runs real cool.. Go get a more expensive amp, but why!!!!!
Speakers and amp bought from sonic....THANKS

True to Reputation
I've owned & will continue to purchase HiFonics amps,for me there size & the power there capable of is more than enough,I'm running 2 cerwin Vega 10's & 1 HiFonics12" and this amp just continues to slap them around without missing a beat,this amp is more than just entry level,I'd put it up against any other(I have)brand and feel confident if not the victor it'll give one hell of run.As I write this I'm ready to purchase a second,one for each of my tens,only problem is I haven't had the chance to give the 1500 a go.I'm completely satisfied with the price,I knew the quality and would definitely recommend this amp to anyone who is looking to expand to the next level.

Quality Amp
I like that this amplifier is a true thousand Watts not just some random number that is no where near the correct output. It's well-built heavy duty design fits perfectly underneath the driver seat of my ext-cab Chevy truck. Plus it doesn't seem to wear down as fast like some other brands! In closing you can't find a better amp for the price! In my personal opinion!!

Not Impressed
This amp doesn't seem to put out the RMS it's rated at. I replaced with a higher quality name brand amp that is rated a lower RMS and it's night and day difference. New amp hits harder and cleaner with gain at 1/4 while this amp was around 1/2 and did not produce near the same sound. This amp also seems to be very inefficient. Runs battery down extremely quickly while tuning in the garage versus previously stated replacement amp. I would not recommend the amp unless it's the only thing you could afford.

Great budget amp
I have this hooked up to a single 12" Alpine Type S wired down to 1 ohm. It doesn't quite put out 1000w, its more like 800w rms but thats plenty for my Type S and it sings loud and clean.
There aren't that many amps on this site that can wire down to 1 ohm and can put out 800-900 watts rms for $130.
For the price, this is a great buy.

Absolute Best Purchase in Audio
I bought this amp as part of my first and current system in my first (and still current) car, an '03 Jetta, shortly after I turned 16 and got my license. I paired it with an NVX VCW12 and I can confidently did not make a mistake in my purchases. I am turning 21 in a few months and the system is STILL going as strong as it was when I first installed it. I don't think I've ever gotten such a value out of any product in my life, and to have every component it's built of last and continue to perform at 100% for almost 5 years at the price that it's offered, is honestly unbeatable. I would recommend this amp (and the NVX) to anybody looking to buy it! Hope this helps to anyone considering this amp

Awesome amp! It thumps my 12" pioneer champion series all day and never gets warm! The only thing I wish it had is speaker level inputs because I installed it in a 2015 altima that I'm leasing so I didn't want to rip the dash apart. I used a line out converter and t-taps into the rear speakers so as not to cut any wires. Love the lights and it's been over a month now and working awesome!

Good budget amplifier
Pushing a dc level 2 12 and a Memphis 12 cleanly and efficiently. My whole car is shaking with clean heavy bass that doesn’t drown out the rest of the song. As far as I can tell bass knob is actually an external gain knob that won’t exceed what you have your gain manually set at. Don’t know why it says boost on it. I set my gain where I wanted and boost at zero, when I plugged the knob in set at zero there was no sound.
