Dude you can defend these Brazilian amps to the death but id still trust an unknown Korean amp way more than I'd ever trust one of these fragile Brazilian amps all day everyday... Look into the fsd amps if you want to gamble... Go to twisted sounds if you want an amazing solid amp at normal voltage... They turn into a whole new Beast above 15v

You can talk trash on brazilians all you want but unless you actually tried running one, your opinion does not mean much.
Lets look at it this way. You have 600 bucks for a used amp. You dont want to go .5 ohms you just wanna wire to 1 and keep it simple fk caring about box rise and ****, this is daily. No one other than hardcore competitiors will run anything other than a normal 12V to 15V charging range.
Only thing you can afford is a 3-4k amp Or hell that FSD 5k amp. On the other hand, you can get a taramps 8k or banda 7k. If you just use the amps the way they were designed to be used, it'll work fine. Initially I was scared making the switch from my dc 3.5k to a banda 7k. I was just like you thinking brazilians are sh*t because of how small and underbuilt they are. Reminding me of my worst amp purchase ever, the american bass vfl 4480.1 which didnt perform for ****. However I had spare money so i was like fk it i'll try it out, if anything i'll sell it for what i paid for it.
For the money there is no way the dc 3.5k could even hold a candle to the banda performance wise and loudness wise. The bass even sounds cleaner on the banda after the switch and i'm at 15% gain and -4 sub level setting the gain for only 4.5k rms on the dmm, not even tapping into what the amp can actually do yet or rather the subs bottom out if I push just one more notch. I'm way louder along with having less voltage drops with a lot more head room then i could dream of. Plenty of local people will vouch how much of a gain I got going from dc 3.5k to the banda. Amps run cool during hot 100 degree+ weather too with the 4 push pull fan configurations.
Its already known that Brazilians arent meant to be wired anywhere below their impedance and these fkers testing the amps put them in ridiculous situations where the amp was not meant to perform in and then talk **** all over it.
Unless you are wiring hella low with a korean, you are still gonna face the same box rise issues no matter what. The FSD will not put out 5k if you wire it to 1 ohm. After rise, it'll put out the simlar amount to a brazilian 5k. The only way its gonna make 5k is if you wire to .5 or lower which kills effiicency anyways.
Apples to oranges. One appeals to people running normal 12 volt systems and wire to 1 ohm nominal. and the other caters to people that completely abuse the **** out of their amps wiring extremely low and running 16/18volt systems.
