Planning the GF's system. Opinions on Hifonics ZX 8000

I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with this amp. I would love to use it to power her CDT CL61s in the front and the other channel to a single 10" sub. It would be a 200x2 + 300x1 @ 4ohm configuration. Overpowering the fronts will keep the gains bottom floor and That's plenty O power to hit a sub nicely. Maybe even the extra 10W6 my buddys got floating around. Any opinions on the amp?

Price range is the thing. The HiFonics sounded so good cause it was a all-in-one solution for $239.

if you install it in a location with good ventilation, and as long as she doesnt listen to it at high volumes for more than 15 minutes or so at a time, then go for it, youll never have a problem.

at least a solid 5 minutes at high volume if you tuck it away somewhere

I never tried it. if you are looking to save money and maximize elegance and function, do you think its worth it?

Well, it's not a matter of saving the money. It's that she doesn't have the money. I've already taken care of fronts and the HU. The amps on her.

winnerpl is an unknown quantity at this point
I don't know about that particular model but I have a Hifonics BX1000D and I have had NO issues with heating whatsoever, even in the summer.
