[ecksman 10+ year member]

so i get a hifonics 1605d to push my 2 l7's, sounds ok to me considering this my first system. only problem is i get no radio signal, the place i gotit from and installed it said that some hifonics have been doing this, so they told me that they'll sell me an orion 1600d (i think) for another $100.

1. do u guys think i should go through with the trade?

2. what do u guys think of orion compared to hifonics?

x2, and they will put out their rated power, unlike most Hifonics amplifiers.

That will be a great trade because the orion is a better amp and a much more powerful amp... not saying that the brutus is a bad amp though

The brutus may not put out its rated power but is a very solid and reliable amp... at least the ones that i've worked with.

I'm talking of my personal experience with hifonics.

I have hurt some bad stories of their older lineup....

But none the less, do the swap out...

Yes, sir. That Hifonics is probably only going to put out around 1400w RMS, if youre lucky... The Orions are a tad under rated as well, so you will get your moneys worth, and there wont be much of an audible difference between a hundred or so watts.

What does radio signal have to do with the amp? And no, I wouldnt trade.
