Funny you would say this. Don't you know that Hifonics and MB Quart are owned and run by the SAME COMPANY? Maxxsonics has been building great stuff for years. Even their "budget" Crunch amps are excellent. I used to compete and was sponsored by Hifonics back in the late 90's. Then for about 4 years was a multi-line dealer with access to just about any equipment from any company. Hifonics is still one of the greatest amps for the price. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at all.
