They're both on Zenon boards. Old news. That doesn't nearly make them the same amp. Even in that picture you can see different components on the board.

Guess what, your Sundown is built on the same board as both of those.

I believe thats the 2600 hifonics. Who knows who uses what quality components on the board though

Actually... neither one is made @ Zenon.

There are some differences - most notably on the input side of the amps.

Otherwise they do look strikingly similar, although, most Korea Class-D amps do look pretty similar.

I was gonna say I thought DJ said himself on here neither are made by Zenon but they are made in Korea.

I saw that thread also on realm of excursion and the funny part about it, at least to me, was that when this was brought up, it was the hifonics rep that was deeply offended that AQ was being compared to hifonics. As if the hifonics was by far the better brand.
Although I'd definately buy the AQ over the hifonics, just based on what I've seen from personal experience with hifonics amps (at least the brutus line).

On the car audio forums, AQ may be the boner brand. But Hifonics did not get to where they are today (compare the sales numbers of Hifonics to AQ) due to poor craftmanship or quality.

I am not bashing AQ, but to make such an assumption as to AQ being "better" after using only one of Hifonic's line of products is ludicrous.

Agreed... Iv'e ran 3 different hifonics amps in the past and never had any problems.
