im going up to a shop in a little bit to check out the hercules, i know the orion will do what it says but ive seen the brutus series in action and those were total garbage how close to the orion will the hercules be?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

 
yeah i should be checking it out in a lil over an hour may come how with it if i like it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
yuh but i seen 2 orion 1200's go up in smoke on .7 coils pretty sure they had a good alt too (he had 2 yellow tops in the trunk). when you run it that hard all the time you have to be extra careful especially with the engine off. if mark does it alot listen to him but i wouldnt get too brave with it at a show screwing around lol

 
i've seen ALOT of amps smoke, doesn't mean they are bad amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It varies alot.

The herc's, with my limited experience with em, are just plain ole weak. The 2500d's, on the other hand... wang //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

not saying any of them are bad but i bet voltage plays a role in them going poof like a magic dragon though lol. my lil soundstream very literially hates anything under 11.5 volts or so. on my old battery, pre big 3 it was literially starting to do the hum of death before i swapped out batteries and did the big three. oddly enough my rca open light quit flickering as well lol

 
well, low voltage is bad for any amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I dont think any 12v amp likes dropping to 9v on a burp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
Go with the DEI Orion....

Hifonics amps are great for people on tight budgets, but they are far from the Hifonics amps from 10 years ago. Go to eCoustics and ask Glass Wolf about them. He's seen actual bench tests in person on these newer Hifonics amps. That Brutus 1500w RMS mono amp does about 1000w RMS.
