And you wont believe who it is. Mb Quart fans wept when RF bought them but just when we were getting over that we're hit with their newest owners......Maxxsonics!
Yes, one of the most prestigious names in car audio is now owned by the makers of Crunch.
Whats next? Focal bought out by Kraco?
DLS bought out by Audiobahn?
Dynaudio bought out by Pyramid?

I heard they were bought a few months back but didn't know by who. Gotta love it! Just like when DEI bought PPI and Orion... downhill they went. Anyone want to think back with me when Lanzar was an amazing amp? Til they got bought by Pyramid that was...

Maxxsonics also makes Hifonics. Crunch is just thier entry level line of amplifiers.
Hifonics/Maxxsonics has been around for decades and while thier speakers might be nothing to write home about, thier amplifiers are quite impressive, especially for teh prices that are charged for them.You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you!

Crunch is bargain basement, entry level. The Hifonics stuff on the other hand is actually quite impressive even if some of it is gaudy.
