Hifonics was first set up in 1981, November to be exact. Helmut Stieglitz, the man behind the first trades of Hifonics, decided on a very interesting concept that would put the first faces to the Hifonics company. Instead of using simple number and letter combinations to denote series and models, Hifonics borrows the names of Greek, Teutonic, Roman, and Egyptian gods to use in order to create a memorable name that wouldn’t be confused (like, say the 700 series versus 800 series). This has certainly paid off, because some series, like the Hifonics Zeus subwoofer series, are easy to remember. Hifonics is now owned by Maxxsonics, which continues to win numerous SPL wars.

Team Maxxsonics, as mentioned, consistently places in the top rankings for their sound pressure levels. They have won so many competitions using their strategies and products. As Hifonics has fallen into the hands of the Maxxsonics team, the company will absolutely continue to produce better car audio equipment aimed to pack as much power into a consumer model (rolling around in a competition car wouldn’t be too fun, some of them can’t even drive!) as possible while maintaining a low cost to make things affordable. Mr. Stieglitz certainly picked the best team to hand over his creations to, because we’re going to see some good things come out of Hifonics in the future.

ATVs were first considered as a “toy” for adults – a vehicle that isn’t a car, not a main mean of transportation and not a race car. It’s between everything. Something recreational and provides fun, excitement and can also be used for work. Because of the price, ATVs used to be designed for the sake of simplicity and convenience. That also means that the old-school type of ATVs has nothing much to look at. Continue reading ‘ATV World is Changing’ »

If its your first time doing an under the hood job, finding what button in your car opens your hood can sometimes be difficult.
