Hifonics ZXi 8008

dissapointed cant believe it

I am a part time installer been dong it since I was 18 im 36 now. I installed this amp with a 10 inch kicker cvr sub running at 2 ohms and two kicker 2008 2 way 6x9's and two 6 inch kicker 2 ways for the doors. I ran all new wiring including three sets of rca's. This amp ran very very hot hotter than any other amp I ever used. The head unit would not go past 20 with the gains almost all the way down because it would shut off. I tested the output on the head unit and adjust the gains according to that it would still shut off I even upgraded the power and ground cable to stinger 4 gauge of course. The ground was bolted on not screwed because screws get loose with vibration and strip out to easy. I dont like how the adjustments are set up. there kinda confusing and takes up more time trying to adjust everything. they use a different scale system thats real wide. I was not getting full power out of this amp and my customer was very disappointed because I told her how good this brand was. I personally use autotek amps same company and they work great. I sent the amp back and was tested defective and I got credit for it this company is very reasonable as long as you don't abuse the equipment. It happens sometimes you get a bad one. I'm not sure if I would use another 5 channel amp again. I rather use a separate amp for the subs.

The all-in-one amplifier!

The Hifnocs ZX8000 will solve all your amplifying needs. It has 5 channels so you could either hook up four speakers and your sub, or go for an active setup with two tweeters, two mids, and a sub. I ran this in my Accord during the summer and it has never EVER turned off on me. It stays rather cool even when your blasting your music, and that's probably due to the all aluminum heatsink. The crossovers are very flexible with Highpass, Lowpass, and bandpass crossovers, allowing you to have an active setup without any other processing. I recommend this amp to everybody looking for an all-in-one amplifier. It definitely does rated power and then some, and I am sure the nobody would be disappointed with it!

hifonics hands down makes the beat amps

this amp is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! i use the amp to power 2 sets of polk audio db series. and it works great. i have never had any problems with it at all. no overheating problems. not one blown fuse. nothing! and since i built a custom amp rack to put under my center console. it is a very pleasing amp to look at. and i quite one if you have to mute the stereo. it make no sounds at all. trust me. absolutly a wonderfull amp. and i have tried alot of amps.

Great Amp

This is a great amp. I had a Kenwood pushing my 6.9 and 6.5 it was ok but know with hifonics big change much better I recomended

To The Point.

1) Visual :
Eye candy; SOTB, the glowing-blue 'HIFONICS' logo, the CNC-machined aluminum heatsink, moulded-binding posts, MAXXI-FUSES (if you dont know what these are, just Very-Large ATC fuses), overall excellent craftsmanship.. Pleasure to look at.

*One thing of concern is the polished CNC aluminum could be scratched easily if care is not taken.*


2)Features :

3)Configuration
With an iPod, I downloaded several
sine waves/bass tests onto it, and properly crossed over the entire system in about 1 hour.

4) Overall
A much better product than anything I could have purchaed at any of the electronic retailers in Canada, ie. Futureshop, A&B Sound, BestBuy, or Visions, and overall, I spent less money for what I wanted EXACTLY, and the next best thing doesn't even come close :)

Great for the price

i have a miata and I put together a custom sealed sub box with 8 5.5" tang bang drivers run down to 2 ohms, and hivi tweeters and woofers. I wanted an all in one 5 channel amp because of space restrictions so I got this amp cause I've heard good things about the brand and the price seemed great. The sound is awesome. The subs run plenty loud and the settings let me dial in my speakers without the need for any crossovers(wish there was a subsonic filter though). I can only say good things about this amp. except that the blue light might be a bit too loud.

Great amp for the price

This a very good amp that outputs it's rated power pretty cleanly. You need to provide it with good signal voltage for best performance, though. If your ground is not ideal, this amp will let you know (through whining).

Also, it really needs to be actively cooled, particularly if you are mounting it recessed where the sides can be covered.

I'm not a big fan of the LEDs. Too bright for me as I can see them in my rear view mirror (Ford Escape), especially since I was trying to do a stealth build this time!

Other than that, it hits hard and doesn't b**** about it, what more do you need.

The best amp for the price

I been using this amp for almost two years and I have no complaints about it. This amp works so well that I´m surprised, because the amp never shut down for the heat or anything, besides the amp sounds very good: I run two pairs of Infinity speakers (6.5 and 6*9) and I get the most pure crystal sound from the amp, and the amp on the dark looks fantastic! I have another Hifonics amp on my sound system and both looks together GREAT on the night. The people always say that this amp it´s an art piece.

Dennis From Las Vegas

this is simply a great amp from hiphonics. it has tons of power and the specs are certainly underrated. great features and very easy to install. i am pushing 2 pairs of 6.5" mids with 2 pairs of tweeters and a 10" dvc bazooka tube @ 2 ohms. i am only using the amp at half capacity. amp does get a little hot but it does not shut off. i have looked and looked and there is not another amp that could beat this for the money spent. Definately worth every penny. very highly recommended and is truly a gift from the gods! makes my durango shake like no other!i did not rate durability because i have not had it long enough to rate it. (i only installed it about 5 hours ago)

Good Buy

Well First of all I own a nissan 200sx so not to much room to load up all the speakers I want. So I decided this amp would be perfect. I could run my speakers on it and not have to buy another amp to push a sub. I recommend this for anyone with a small vehicle or anyone just getting into car audio.
