The History of Hifonics
In the early 1980’s there was a revolution. A revolution in the way music was being recorded. In the studio, bands were working more and more in the digital format. More importantly, many artists found they could cut out the large studios and record their music faster and cheaper themselves. Recording music in basements and garages on PC’s and those rebellious Apple desktops. This anti-establishment and self-reliant attitude changed everything in the music industry and laid the foundation for the revolution that continues today.
In 1981, The Gods Were Born
Hifonics was born in this era. Founded by Helmut Stiglitz one year after the launch of MTV and 3 years before the first car CD player. Hifonics brought mortals exactly what they needed – a revolution of their own. From cassettes to CD’s, from Hip-Hop and garage bands to mainstream rock and roll. Hifonics Car Audio has built some of the most intense music systems of the 80’s and 90’s.
Now, 35 years later, Hifonics, and the Gods, will deliver so much powerful and great sounding music that you may finally forget the past and focus on the future. Because now you have the culmination of all Hifonics heritage and mythology manifested into the best sounding audio system you have ever heard.

The Big Gods – Leaders of Hifonics
Car audio has changed a lot in 35 years. There were days when a simple 100 watt amplifier, might be called, Class A, and cost several thousand dollars. Then came the late 80’s and early 90’s with competitions like IASCA, SPL races like dB Drag Racing which of course led to scandals with cheater amps and every concoction of technology imaginable to push the lunatic fringe of volume and bragging rights.
