1000 @ 12.5V, 1200+ @ 14.4V. Did you watch the youtube video?

 

Oh i just saw that... but 14.4V... i thought my pioneer avic f900bt HU only puts out 12V so wouldnt it be more like 1000w or am i totally wrong?

 

dont have subs yet but im almost dead set on the 12" Fi BL with the cooling and flatwind coil options.

 

Umm. The alternator/battery decides the voltage. Not the HU... Kinda confused how you got that.

 

maybe he was thinking about the remote turn on coming from the hu being 12 volt to the amp. but who knows

 

Its also still between 10-15 volts depending on the alt/bat.

 

well maybe he read it on the box. like i said who knows

 

haha sorry i just heard that HU are 12v so my bad... still a newb at this kind of stuff

 

Back in 1990, I bought a series VII Hifonics Zeus and a series VII Hifonics Gemini. They were both $600 each at the time and were some serious amps. Here are some photos for those who never saw these "real" hifonic amps.

 

Hifonics then vs Hifonics now = two completely different stories. Sucks when companies find out how to make big $$ and veer away from the quality standard.

 

Yeah, back then they were owned by Zed Audio and were 100% American. These days, it's just more Chinese crapola.

 

Now that's a stroll down memory lane. They used to sell these in Tulsa at a place called Cost Warehouse. They sold furniture, appliences, all kinds of stuff. But back in a corner they had a car audio section and sold these old school HiFonics amps. They were built like tanks. Good stuff

 

Good luck getting enough people to keep your company alfoat to pay 600 for a 200 watt 4 channel these days...

 

I don't believe Steven Mantz (Zed Audio) ever owned Hi Fonics . He did however build their car amplifiers for them , just like he did for Lanzar , Crunch , Autotek and Alphasonic to name a few . Man I miss the 80's and 90's , when we had (GOOD) Soundstream , Lanzar , Autotek , ADS , Fosgate , PPI , Orion , US Amps ,Alpine , Cadence , Earthquake ,Pheonix Gold ,Cerwin Vega and many others . I have used every brand mentioned above , at some point throughout the years . None of these company's still in business today , can hold a candle to their old stuff . It's all made over sea's with cheaper parts .
