Thread: Hifonics Zeus AMP for DIGITAL 5.1 decoding!!!

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet but I did a search for this and didn't see anything but here goes...

HiFonics Zeus ZX 5.1

I know the Hifonics isn't your BEST amp for fidelity, but this beats the Phoenix Gold Octane in POWER and it as FIBER OPTIC INPUTS!!!! One of its down falls is, ITS PHYSICALLY BIGGER.... It has all the other features of the Phoneix Gold amp which I REALLY LIKED but I didn't like that it only had about the same amount of power as my head unit, (Which I know isn't the same). HiFonics has gotten some bad raps in the past but I'm willing to give this one a try for my carputer..... THE BEST PART IS, this company is 5 min away from my work and I'm going to take a drive there after I get off to get some more information on it and maybe find out where I can pick up a refurb'd unit.
