Hey Ya'll how's it goin?

I was shopping around for the Orion amps to power my subs (decided to stay at 2-10's since they so powerful and if not satisfied get a 3rd later). But I could only find one orion amp within my price range but it was used. I decided to look else where for my power needs and stumbled across these Hifonics amps one was 3,200 watt max 1,600 RMS @ 1 ohm for $200. now this is from sonixelectronics, and even though i got my subs I price their orion amps and they are the same but they are on a crazy long back order and my install in due in a couple weeks when I send my trucc n everything out. Now has anyone here used these amps and how was the experience???

If they're as good as that then I would say get them, I'm thinking about fabbing up a sealed box for an 8" sub and putting it in the center console area!

I'd stay away from the newer stuff. HiFonics sold out several years ago and are very inferior to when they were built in USA by ZED Audio. That is when they were the shit.. Orion is the same, sold the name but the quiality sucks. If you can get some of the old school equipment that would be the way to go.. I used to have a gen4 Zeus back in the 80's and powered my entire system with it and was very powerful and crisp. Regret the day I got rid of it..

I'm running the same amps for the last 13 years built by Rockford Fosgate and they sound and put out like the day I first bought them. Old School is the way to go. Bulletproof..

I agree. The older Hifonics and Orion was actually worth a damn. The new stuff just doesn't seem nearly as good since they've been bought out.
DEI bought Orion a few yrs ago.
