sonic electronics

i know some of you have dealt with them and reccomend them. i was wondering how they are with their warranties on the brands they arent authorized dealers on? do they stand behind their own warranty or what

What warranty? Read through their terms and conditions...so many ways for them to tell you to **** off and not cover anything and to charge you for them telling you that they're not going to cover anything. What were you thinking about purchasing from them?

well right now i have a kenwood 600w 2 channel. bridged and getting 300rms at 4ohms. so i figured i would get the jl to hold me over cuz its the exact rating for the sub as the amp is putting out. why is hifonics a awful decision? i have seen loads of people run them with no problems

nothing. highfonics is a good budget amp. not high end, not garbage. they are a bit over rated on wattage.. they get the job done for the price

1. if you plan on having your system for more than a year i would not get it
2. divide their rms rating by 2 and that equals the clean power you will get from it.
3. it aint made in the u.s.

sundown audio SAZ 1000D is $315. it will give you 1200w clean power... also sundown has the best customer service i have ever seen

another thing i noticed about sonic is they are an authorized kicker dealer. they have the 12" cvr's for 85 and free shipping but everywhere else i look is over 100 atleast. i asked if they were refurbished because of how cheap, they said no they are brand new and that there so cheap because they are a popular seller for them?

that would be an upgrade from the hifonics but still you gotta remember you get what you pay for

sonicelectronix is just that good, its just luck of the draw really man, some other sites just charge more cause they can, but i have bought quite a few things from se and havent had any problems, i'd recommend them to others.

x2 on sundown
i had a hifonics amp on my 12" ssd i had and it did its job, i actually ran it at .5 ohm on stock electrical and it played everyday with no signs of giving up. but sundown is very nice, clean, and stout amps and customer support is top notch.
