[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7907154, member: 573547"] The main gripe with Maxxsonics is exactly what has been said, they bought a few major brands that were reputable for producing amps that put out far beyond rated power. Hifonics, Autotek, Crunch made beast amps back in the day. If it were possible to focus on a 2012 model Hifonics BRZ 1700D and accept it for what it really is..a well built amp that can handle reactive loads without shutting down every 30 minutes. We know we can expect about 1200w clean at @ 13.5v @1.4 ohms reactive...compare that to a budget amp like the AQ 1200 and it is not that bad for similar output and decent reliability for $100 less...the AP ASPM2000 has shown to produce 1800w clipped like who'da thunk it...With only 400 w clean at 4 ohms, one can very reasonably hope for what? @1400w - 1600w clean? on the ASPM2000 under similar reactive loads and voltages..and this is comparing a 1700w amp to a 2000w amp. Now take someone who has saved up $200 over a few months for a amp and wants to know what they should get..do you want to talk them into something that you bought, just because you got a good deal on cheap power and do not care if it blows, or would they be better off with similar cheap power that lasts?
