Hifonics new vs old

[bass-aholic 10+ year member]

I might use hifonics amps for my next build and i am wondering what the difference is between the 2010 models and the old 08-09 models. Is it just the cosmetics or are there improvements to the internals? Possibly do more power?

2006-2010 brutus and zeus series are virtually the same. They do rated power ---AT 14.4 VOLTS---

if you have a strong electrical, they perform well. If your gonna be running them on a newbie electrical and constantly running them at 12 volts, they arent going to perform well

Electrical is listed in sig. HO alt and 4 powermasters total. All 1/0 and big 3 done. Thanks for the info though, i dont think im going to go with hifonics. I like an amp that does rated at 12v or possibly more.

I highly doubt any do rated at 14.4.

they do almost rated at 14.4 but are super power hungry. I wouldnt hesitate to run them again there tanks.

I wouldn't hesitate to run them again, but for a little more money, you can do 100x better.

Mine didn't do anywhere near rated, and it wasn't dropping near 13v.

My AQ is noticeably louder and yet still draws more current that my 1210D did, and only cost slightly more than the 1210D cost when I bought it.

it comes down to what amp u want and how much money u have. if your lookin for 2000-+ watts u can get away with there bxi2009 amp. its small and i had no issues with mine .
