I find the followin post in this forum about brand of car audio. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/628486.html Is closed, and i can't reply. Listed Phoenix Gold amplifiers like a questionable brand and i don't agree. I think that's his story and new models should be higher up. Sorry my bad english and wait your opinions. |

Whoever used to make their stuff back when you thought they were good definitely dont anymore. PPI and soundstream are owned by the same company (Epsilon), though PPI changed hands a few times before ending up there. MB Quart and Hifonics were also purchased by the same company (Maxxsonics). MB and hifonics defnitely arent what they used to be but compared to what's generally available, they're not terrible. |

Gold Member Username: Joe1234Post Number: 1824 Registered: May-09 | Maxxonics amps sound ok but specially their Hifonics amps have reliability issues and building materials are a junk, specially the cheap plastic sides they use now on their amps. And their subs are laughable toys. OP there's still great current day products, if you are into SQ look for Arc Audio, Linear power, MC, audison, and many more, is just that they cost what they are worth. |

New member Username: Pajarito_amarilloPost Number: 2 Registered: May-13 | I find that maxxonics sound is ok, but lying on your specifications. The really bad thing in car audio is that the lie used to sell. Obviously a good thing cost much more than some cheap, but the difference isn�t only price, big difference is in the sound quality. Aamp of america is a new owner of Phoenix Gold, and his marketing strategy is return to the glory years of brand. I find that the global trend is return to the sound quality and selling good products, without lies, can make good bussinees. |

Gold Member Username: Joe1234Post Number: 1826 Registered: May-09 | Currently I hear they are just average amps and not overly reliable, hope they come up with better products, but from what I see the world trend is for best bang for the buck, no long term reliability products to keep business moving (the kind of stuff Maxxonics put out). |
