Man I love this amp!!

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

I got this thing hooked up to my 2 kicker 12" solos running 900w @ 2 ohms tuned with a multimeter and 40hz test tone and god blessss man!! This thing really makes those kickers hit hard. I know a lot of people bash Hifonics because they think that the amps don't really put out what they say they do, but I have nothing other than good things to say about this amp. Good job hifonics and thank you sonic for great, fast service. A+ company man!

Decent amp but overrated

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

Just look at the photos of this amp and it's little brother, the ZRX1500.1D, paying attention to the fuses. This "1800 watt" amp has 2 x 60a fuses (120a) x 14.4v at 80% efficiency at 1-ohm = 1382 watts AT BEST. Funny that the "smaller" variant in this Zeus line, the ZRX1500.1D, which is supposedly less powerful than the ZRX1800.1D by 300 watts, has 2 x 70a fuses, 20a more fusing than the "bigger" 1800. The math for the 1500 is: 2 x 70a (140a) x 14.4v at 80% efficiency = 1612 watts, 230 watts MORE for less $$, possibly UNDER-RATED. I'm not saying the 1800.1 is not good or worth the price, I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense to buy this (new) instead of it's more-powerful and less-expensive "little" brother, the ZRX1500.1D.

One of the BEST amps

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

This amp is an obsolute beast. You will have to buy new woofers before you replace this amp. And to be quite honest, you just cant beat the price.

Great amp very happy that i got it

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

I originally purchased an mb quart amp which was backordered so i called and ended up with this one I have had hifonics subs in the past and they blew me away. So i figured why not they were both made hifonics. I am running two 15" jbl gt-5 subs and these hit very clear and very low im not pushing amp to its limits its at 2ohms but i can run it at full volume for thirty minutes and it wont even get warm this is a great amp especially for the price would buy again. I have had many rockford and kicker amps and this keeps right with them and even better on some of the features

solid amp for the money !

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

I installed this amp for a friend . She had a older Rockford T1 12 . I knew hifonics made good amps for a fair price . Overall I was happy with the install . One T1 12 In a tc scion sounds pretty good the amp was running at 2 ohms and had plenty of power for the sub . The only thing I wasn't happy with is how hot this amp got . I was concerned about clipping but it never did its men four months now and it's still making the sub flex ! So overall a great amp for the money . One more thing the way it lights up is pretty cool !

Great Price for the performance

I purchased this amplifier because I have heard a lot of positive reviews of hifonics amps saying they never let you down, so I decided to give them a shot. From the get go as soon as I got the box the whole image was very intimidating with the box saying "power from the gods" and I was very pleased with the overall design and appearance of the amp itself. The bass knob has a light-up ring which is eye candy at night, and if it goes into shut off mode the ring turns red. I am using it for my 15" Kicker l7 in a 5 cubic feet box and it pushes it HARD. I am using it in my 1999 v6 mustang and I finally got it to flex the windshield a bit and it hits lows like a champ. The only downside I have for this amp is that it does not like the heat and will overheat if there is no proper ventilation.

Awesom Clean sounding amp

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

I have 2 power acoustik crypt 12's wired to 1 ohm handling 1700 rms, and i had a power acoustik gothic 3000watt amp before this saying it did 1700rms @ 1ohm. This amp says 1800rms @ 1ohm but I'd say it does closer to high 1500. This amp hits harder and way more clean sounding bass. Easy to set up and does not get hot. It takes my 2 gauge wire with a squeeze and holds it in fine. Point is, if you're looking for a good quality amp for a good price this is it.

Good amp

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

Man, this amp is a fool. I have 2 12" powerbass subs which is 375 rms each. I have it running 2 ohms, 900 rms, turned about 1/4 up on the amp. My entire car is shaking. I'm about to get to more powerbass 12" and a 4 sub box. Run all of them at 1 ohms which is 1800 rms, and all 4 sub are 1500 rms. If you are looking for some good subs for this amp, powerbass M-124 or M-124D is the way to go. My 300 sounds and looking good. Get this same hook up, you cant go wrong.

Beast

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

This amp is a beast, Im pushing two 15s with it. I can only turn the gain up around half. It is pushing my 15s hard and dimming the lights on the car. It looks great and was very easy to install

Great lil amp

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

I was originally looking for a brutus monoblock but could not find one that I wanted in stock any where so I decided to give the zeus a try. It is powering 212 Memphis subs at 2ohms and they hit hard. I can have them cranked with minimal airflow on the amp and it barely gets warm, decent size as well to be tucked away a bit more easily than the brutus. It is a bit power hungry however, running alongside a brx1200/4 my stock electrical system was not liking it, most stock setups don't usually handle more than 1200 or so rms anyway. Awesome product I don't know if you can get much better at this price.

Excellent Value

Best amp I have had in years. Dissipates heat efficiently and has a high tolerance for low frequency cut-offs.

Excellent product

I was looking for a good amp at a reasonable price to power my Rockford Fosgate T1, and came across this amp. Very easy to adjust and works excellent. I have it ran at 1800w on 1 ohm and it sounds amazing, crystal clear with no issues. Would recommend to anyone and would buy again.

Zues 1800 Watt

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

this amp is amazing, it was everything I wanted. it has a nice crisp clean sound, but thumps nice and hard with the heavier music. I listen to everything from orchestra, rap, and heavy metal this amp never over heats and never misses a beat. I drive about 45 minutes one way to work and it is awesome. I would advise anyone to purchase this amp for whatever your need.

bang for the buck by has quality issues

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

I recently purchased this amp for my two alpine type-r and at first the amp was great, then I began having problems with the fuse holder on the amp itself. The amp would be playing and would cut out and when jiggling the fuses a bit it would play again. With that said I will be returning the amp.

HIGH POWERED

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

I have this amp hooked to two 12 kicker l3 in a sealed box and I set off car alarms BUT this amp is so strong your lights will dim unless u have a good battery so be prepared to upgrade your electrical system if its stock because this amp is a beast

Great price

My husband is completely satisfied. He was so excited when he received his order. He was so happy that he was like a child in a candy store. He couldn't ripped the box faster. He said it was easy to install and overall love the performance that he wanted. I literally could hear him from the next block. He said he likes it loud and obnoxious.

Good bang for the buck

Hifonics is power hungry, put this on 2 alpine 12" on a 2015 cummins and it still dimmed the light towards the top end. ended up getting a cap to take some stress off. i would suggest getting a few hundred watts over your total RMS, last hifonics i had would go into protect mode with it hit the low notes on 2 15"

By Jerrad on January 30, 2017 Checkmark Icon Verified purchase


great product

I am really happy with my purchase because I'm from the old school and when I was younger I only used Hifonics amps in my cars and its nice to see they still give you the type of quality power you need to get the right boom from your speakers and at a reasonable price..

Hell yes

The following review is for a previous version (ZRX1800.1D).

I bought two hifonics zues amps and I gotta say I love em. I had two RF p2s and the amps blew em apart lol... so I picked up 2 15 inch alpine type Rs and those amps power the hell out of em and they are barely turned up. I plan on buying four or six more zues amps to run a total of 6 or 8 15s in my navigator. Hifonics is a beyond great amp. They def won't let you down I love mine.... and they never overheat and I abuse the hell out of them
