Mb quart and hifonics are the same company. Maxxsonics also does crunch and autotek.

I've been trying to stress this to these guys the past few weeks that the HFI line is kind of garbage I don't know what Hifonics was thinking, the Brutus of the MB Quart imo.



They had some issues with the heatsinks in some of them. and the hfr3 remotes are a joke.
The remote costs half what the amp does. I just replaced the knob from mine using a eq.
I got lucky and got one of the good hfi's, it clamped at 1979.33333 so not bad. never gets warm either.
I wouldnt risk buying another one though. My buddy got one of the bad ones and its only doing like 1500 on my wiring.

lanzar, hands down, is the worst company on the face of the planet.

I opened one up after having may issues and thing with friends owning them, and the internals are pathetic and barren.

The ratings are usually double what they put out.

Don't buy one, ever.

Hifonics are pretty solid amps
Poweraccustic im not so sure about
Mb are also solid

From that list either the mb or hifonics

tbh the two look like they probably have the same internals, but i see you have ordered

lmk how it turns out ;D
