bxi6D vs xx-hercules

[talon2nr7588 10+ year member]

whats the main difference between the hifonics BXI2006D and the XX-Hercules? they both do 2000x1 at 1 ohm. nobody say that the 2006D is shit because the new ones do put out rated power. i know that the hercules is under rated but besides that.

the signal to noise ratio is two db better on the new Brutus. But its also ALOT smaller meaning its gonna heat up alot quicker and not be able to disapate as much heat. other then that, by specs they are identical

I am selling a bxi2006D if you are interested let me know. I will sell it for 325 shipped. Ive used it for about 3 weeks. Its still in perfect condition. It never heats up on me. Im running it at 1 ohm. Has boost knob and all. Plus the illumination looks real nice on them. let me know if you are interested.

The XX Hercules is strappable. THe BXi isnt.

i was told at 3.9ohms, it was tested to do 1143 RMS. And it's only rated 650 @ 4ohms. So you could imagine what it can do at 1 ohm. Hercules is rated at 12.8 volts, while the brutus is rated at 14.4. The hercules can be ran at .5ohms all day, while the brutus has no history @ .5, Underrated amp it is.

are the new brutus also rated at 14.4 volts? i was told the new brutus do rated power.

the new bxi models are still rated at 14.4. You can't go wrong with a hercules. As of this point, noone has actually benched the 06models. Been browsing many forums to find someone who actually benched that bxi model. Some will say 00 models are overrated, others will say the 05 models do rated power, others will tell ya hifonics doesn't get good until the XX lines, some will tell ya the 06 models do rated power. It's confusing because you don't know who is on the bandwagon and who has experience. I had the bxi1606. Solid amp, pushed my Type Rs pretty hard. Smelled voice-coils burning, but those subs were in a prefab box. Got a TCAB, don't smell it anymore. So i can't tell you for a fact if it does rated power or not. But, just from my experience, it does near or actually does rated power!

im in a little dilemma here. i need 3500-4000 rms and i don't know what i should get. thats why i amy interested in the BXI2006D. i could get 2 of those or since the hercules does around 1100 @ 4 ohms i wanna know how much it does at 1 ohm. are you sure its .5 ohm stable? have you done this before? any idea how much it make at that low impedience?
