Hey guys I am looking into putting a complete system into my 06 acura rsx type s. I usually like to get all my components from a single company cause if i need help with settings and stuff they are more helpful. I am looking at a five channel amp to run a component set up front with high quality coaxials for the side panels in the back. then a sub in the trunk. who is better overall kicker or hifoncs from maxxsonics. thanx so much

For SQ, neither of them are really up to par. For a PURE SQ system, look no further than Zapco. Now, while Zapco is expensive, a cheaper (but no less capable) alternative could be the new full-range Class D amplifiers from Eclipse. A 5 channel is available from them that will put BOTH of those in the dirt.
However, you DID specify two brand names, and of those two, I would DEFINITELY go for the Kicker, if forced to choose from those two only.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Yeah I was leaning towards kicker as well. I think I am gonna get a 6.5 inch kicker component set up front with a set of kicker 6.5 coaxials in the back and the zx700.5 kicker amp to run it along with a woofer. You think this will sound way better than the bose system in this 06 rsx type s?

Where's the love? I guess its Kicker all the way, even though I got Hifonics in my car. For the difference in the price, Hifonics makes a good amp, but of the two Kicker is stronger. Also, like haemphyst stated above, if money doesn't matter there are more amps that are better than either of those two.

Definitely Kicker! But, If it was my car, It would be: JL amp, Focal comps, Eclipse hu. and JL 10w6 in sealed box sub.
