[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8541604, member: 650438"] they got their information wrong completely wrong. As a former brutus user and having plenty of experience with them... they are very low tier performing amps for music setups and competition setups both. Maxsonics try to say that sh*t because they still want you to buy their amp and their BS marketing worked. My own experiences, with two brx 2400s, it made noise thought it sounded okay. supposedly around "4000" watts after taking their overratedness into consideration. Swapped to a DC audio 3.5k and the difference was day and night. not only louder but MUCH better quality sounding bass, leaps and bounds ahead. The brutus amps had a severe drop below 30hz even though i didnt even use any subsonic filter. With the DC audio I actually heard and felt the lows rather than hearing the subs just die out at low notes. Bass everywhere else was fuller sounding. Basically felt like from a prefab to a custom ported. supposedly 4800 watts vs a 3500 watt amp and gets destroyed in every way possible especially the sound quality. What does that tell you? Another recent backstory, I put up a brutus 2200 against an audiopipe 1500 in a direct swap on a skar zvx 18 in my buddy's explorer. The audio pipe was in every way louder than the brutus, cleaner sounding and played deep bass notes while the hifonics suffered the same drop off below 30hz even tho the box was tuned at 28hz. With the audiopipe he played down to 23hz fine with authority. Did i mention the audiopipe was at 20% gain while the brutus had to be at 70% in order to even get 70% as loud as the audiopipe. Just because you guys never had better doesnt mean that the hifonics is a good budget amp, I used to trash on audiopipe but after seeing it perform Irl with actual swaps and tests, I've concluded that its a much better budget amp than a hifonics can ever dream of. Both of those chinese amps dont hold a candle to any amp made in korea or brazil though. [/QUOTE]
