I talked to this one guy yesterday who has alot of expirience with competeing and he said that hifonics amps are inefficient. He told me out of a Hifonics XX Hercules and Soundstream PCA2000D, both putting out about 2000w RMS @ 1 ohm mono, he said the Soundstream is a better build and more efficient amp. Is this true?

What do you guys think?

the hifonics is very inefecient.....well at the lowest impedence it drops efficeny quiet a bit...(but dont all amps do that) plus it has a very high thd 1-2%...... so thats the real problem the put out close to the rated power

but yeah that orion amp is no joke i want 1 so bad...but after i found out the electrical upgrades i need an plus my transmission messed up im stuck LOL

Unless you check out the XX Series from hifonics, they really do put out their rated watts. Can even burp them at .5 ohm

Soundstream is better .. but why not try the West coast customs Orion amp that Rovin mentioned .. they are a good amp and have a nice little design

Didnt Soundstream get bought out by Power Acoustik? I would only get soundstreams older stuff.
