It is mostly because of the Maxxsonic embossed bottom cover. They purchase failed or failing US companies and try to capitalize on their quality reputation. They use Chinese factories and the cheapest possible circuit boards and components to maximize their profit margins,

WOW!

I always had intentions of selling my 2610. It was a great deal at the time and heard nothing but possitive things. I have not had any issues with the amp other than it's inflated specs. I will be selling it and buying American ASAP. haha

Any guesses what's next? why so harsh on hifonics -- posted image.

Thanks for the info guys

well i cant help but 2 still like the amp because of the cool running. yeah they r over rated so i always buy bigger than i need. ive never had one of these amps fail so in my book they still r pretty good

Class D amplifiers do not run near as hot as the older class A/B amplifiers.

lol well i dont know if i should be offended by that comment. jus cause this site shows me w 1 star doesnt mean im a rookie. i thought when i made that status bought it running cooler i didnt need 2 put class d in the sentence. class d is the standard of bass amps now. and my experiences w class d amps over the yrs is the hifonics amps running cooler than most other class d amps

yup back at it

You must be using other knock off d class amps then. Or maybe you are actually running large enough wire and have enough juice on tap considering the current they actually do pull with there inflated numbers vs. what they really should.

Did not mean to offend you. I had no idea of your vast experience with amplifiers. I just overlooked that earlier and when i read it, I thought you may have had a class A/B amp previously and just wanted you to know that the newer amps run cooler. I have no idea if they run cooler than any other class D amplifiers.

I know for a fact that both my Kicker amps and AQ amps run cooler then the a hifonics amp. I tested one for a buddy that got much warmer and didnt put out near the power as either of the other 2 mentioned. Even in bench tests it does not preform as its "labeled" to do on output.
