Just kidding. I don't know if it's a repost but here's Cadence's new 2k amp priced at $499.

Here's a Brutus bxi2608d:

AQ 2200d:

And yes, I am aware that better parts make it a different amp:.

at $499, i don't think either Hifonics or AQ have anything to worry about.

Hmm, they look the same?

The audioque is a beast.

You can see subtle differences in the crossover/output section of each amp.. same build house though.

Yeah. I'm even thinking of selling my bxi2608d for an AQ 2200d but I don't think there's going to be much difference. The AQ is nicely priced at $389 though. Brutus can be had for about $400 on ebay.

I think the AQ doesn't have bass boost and a couple of minor things. That's why the xover section on the 2200d looks bare.

Yeah but the bxi2008 is like 279 now

They all look the same to me just with very minor differences.

We're not talking about the bxi2008d though. Your amp is not as beefy as mine. The Hifonics in comparison is the bxi2608d. Look at the 3 of them.

I'd have to look, but I believe that it does have bass boost.

Im just saying, you can get a rated 2kw amp for under 300. Probably one of the better deals out there. The AQ is a good deal too.

AQ2200 does not have bass boost . Just gain , subsonic and LPF .
