AMPLIFIER OPINIONS
« on: Feb 23, 2005, 04:53AM »
Hi,
    Are Hifonics amplifiers any good? Are they in say Kicker amps league? What are their strengths and weaknesses. I am looking to buy the HIFONICS BX1500D.

Many Thanks for your opinions peepz  8) :D

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so f**king temperamental.

that'd be a BA1000, far and away the best boss amp you could buy, i still wouldn't touch it though, but what could compare to MTX??
