longest i think i had an amp was a Hifonics Brutus 1206D, about 2 years, 7months of that was spent in a repair shop and came back STILL broke with missing endcaps! owner's exact words when i questioned his ability to run a business: "SUE ME". lol

Kicker zx750.1 and zx350.4, I've had them for over three years now no big deal, but I drive over 70k miles a year on and offroad and sometimes up to 12 hours a day! just for kicks I checked the hour meter on my truck and has 2,117 hours on it so the amps have about 2,115 hours on them! whats up now?

1) Power acoutic 380/lt2 100watt x 2. I drive that biatch at 1ohm full tilt on my fiq18 cause i had nothing else to try it. It didn't like it, stop working after a 1 block ride lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Didn't go in protect.

2) Crunch 175.4 amp, blow it in less than two month. Dirtyest signal ever. lol at 175watt rms x 4. It blow without any reason. Was playing music at real low level and stop working. I was a little unimpress //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

3)Clarion apx300. First sub amp. Was ok, but not powerfull. Sell it to a friend. Use 12month and clipped the hell out of it. Lol

4)Ma audio 1889i. 800watt rms at 2ohm? The most overrated amp i ever met. Anyway being use since 2 year (car before / now in house with psu 22amp rail) even gain full i can't make the psu die //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

4) Schorch wal mart amp. Before i knew internet market. Don't judge //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Well i return it back after 3 month use, the day before the last return date and got full rembursement. the girl was like " you just realize you don't love it, after 3 month" lol what a funny day

5)Bxi1606d . 7 months. Blow it by accident. The output wire touch the + of my capacitor. The capacitor ain't no more. great amp to me tough

6)MB quart pab4100. Great amp got it bridged on my front channel. Sound real nice, the best so far. 1 year and a half and doing perfect. 80amp fuse = lot of power for comps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

7)Bxi2006d. Pushing my substage now, 2months and counting

8)Kicker 200.2. Pushing my rearfill but even if i mounted the speaker near my ear, the frontstage drown it. Not a lof of power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif 2months

RF 200.2 bridged 2 ohm mono pushing rf 10" he2 DVC-been using this amp since 1997 the sub since 2003. had 2 punch series 1's 12" before the DVC.

RF 360.4 pushing 2 sets of Kicker component 6.5"-been using this amp since 1998 the components since 2004. before the components the amp was pushing Boston Acoustics CX4's and CX6's since 98.

Can't seem to part with my old school amps. I am about to swap the 10" DVC out with a pair of JL Audio 10W3's. I may use the RF 200.2 for that as well. not sure yet.

I have a TIPS modified Linear Power 1752 from the 80s that I was going to use for midbass duty but then I managed to score a pair of 1502IQs that matched my Linear Power 5002 so it looks like I will be using amps from 1990-1992 instead //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
