i push more than just Maxxsonics and everyone that has reviewed the AP line has said the same thing " they make rated power, but for how long?" they use good parts but the build quality sucks. and if Hifonics is such garbage how come no one can beat Eric Alexander for the last 4-5 years in modex class? maybe you should research first kiddo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif alot of brands are better than Maxxsonics depending on what the application is. I sell them because for a budget you cant get any better IMO. i sell kicker garbage too but you never see me push it. I sell KW, Pioneer, DLS ( yeah baby DLS !!! ). most people want bang for buck which Hifonics does and then some, and also the brutus has been compared to the AP many times and everyone said it is built a hell of a lot better than the ap. as far as power they are both pretty dead on for output, but look at the shitty 70db s/n ratio on the AP vs the 95db on a "POS" brutus as you call it. all d class amps are pretty much a dirty sound that is a given but come on get a clue 70db s/n? garbage inside and out at any price is still garbage dude.
