hifonics brutus super d? clear this up 4 me plz

I don't think there's a difference,but since they're refurbed Hifonics,I'd stay away from them.Alot of people had problems with them going into protect and staying that way.I had a BXI1208d and had no problems,but all of the stuff I have seen and read pushes me away from them.The super d has a 3 year warranty and the other has 90 days.

 

There the same amp

Saying super d is a sales trick both those amps are refurbs and have a chance of breaking depending how there made and there also made in 2008 originally you don't have a craigslist where you live.

 

reconditioned, remanufactured, refurbished, rebuilt, renewed, rewound, reenlisted, reworked and reinstitutionalised ....


Hmmmm

Ok, heres the skinny.....actually some factory rebuilt products are OK...sayin this cause when a new amp or whatever comes off the assembly line it is not usually tested or run through its paces (not true for all i know) when its on the repair bench it is gone through and tested to be sure it will pass a minimum standard. I have owned a few products that are FACTORY rebuilt....had good luck with them. One was an alpine 7909 and the other was a rockford power 650....just my 2 cents

 

but those weren't

hifonics some amps are better when fixed like a mtx amp they just swap the board send the amp back with 3 monthes warranty $90 dollar flat rate depending the weight.But hifonics is not mtx there amps are poorly made in the first place then they go to component level and fix a amp that has a smoke imput transistors.Then the amp comes and the same stuff goes out because they fix it cheaply buy not replacing the pair of transistors but just the one I had a blown brutis it was givin to me.I had my amp guy that repairs amps and he said there not worth fixing because the cost is high and considerable trouble shooting time I would spend about $120 to fix it and on the streets Its hard to sell em for $175 When they see it on ebay for 220 so I threw it in the garbage.

 

Lots of opinions on this.....thats the wonderful thing about this place! I am old school, VERY old school. So its nice to see others point out personal aspects on current things!

 

Theres usually a couple ways to tell a refurb

Aline drawn across the serial # some have stickers some a have a check mark inside the amp but if a amp has been used and sent back that is pre owned not a refurb.

 

Im an Orion man.....Stick with what I like... Just like my trucks and cars....Dodge


I would rather spend a little more money for something good at maybe a little less power than something bad at a little less money and a little more power....you will be ahead of the game.

Keep this in mind....in order to go from 120 decibals to 123 decibals it takes TWICE THE POWER...so 300 watts gives 120dB, 600 watts gives 123dB......just a little FYI. Dont blow your hard earned cash on junk....I would rather have a high quality 100 watt amp over a low quality 1000 watt amp....everyday

 

Here we go



So you have a few 15 inch subs.....dont care what they are at this point.

You want maximum boom boom i assume? (that ryhmes)

So, with that said, we need to understand a few things. The transfer function of the vehicle, the displacement limited power handling of said subs, and your budget.

First off, what are these subs going into? a truck, car hatchback? give me details and limitations if any......


W#hat kind of music you want to hear? rap crap, country, rock, opera????

what kind of respect you have for any given system? can you respect its upper limits? do you know when the bass is at its max? do you care? a car audio system is like an engine, it has its limits....you push it too hard and you throw a rod through the side of the block


Lets start there...what you got and how ya want it?

 

I just had this same conversation with a kid wit cvrs

Hes running that 64 dollar lanzar amp. but heres the thing the price range is hard any good 1000 watt amp usually goes for 175 to 200 used any good 1500 watt amp sells for 300 to 600.But being on a budget with your limitations a 2 ohm 1200 to 1500 watt amp is hard. Theres not to many amps in that category I could think of I seen people sell used zx 1500s for $250 But I would probably buy a audiopipe or a old school rf 1500 but new most of the stuff is junk.

 

ok...let me run some numbers

I had issues with my windows emulator on this ubunto OS but now its good to go...

5 cubic feet max? and you listen too all kinds of tunes? In a trunk...thats the hard part...what kind of car? cause there are a few other options....

 

Buy a ap 30001d heres a pic

This amp is 3000 watts at 2 ohms 1500 rms at 1 ohm per channel in the pic its sitting on a 4 12 box then you have more than enough power won't even have to turn it up.

 

beemer....LOL!


You aint rich!

If they are like they were back inthe 80's and 90's then my idea will not work!


i will get back to you
