I don't recall a class D amp in the Zues line.

I noticed an audible difference when switching from Hifonics to Orion. So IMHO yes you can notice a change in sound.

The Hifonics XX line is the thats promising, it will do its rated power at 13.8v and then some. Id get the XX Hercules for the XXX.

Huh....I guess I havent seen that around. I always thought the Zeus series didnt have large amps....still though I would stay away from it.

I would trust that amp.

My 12XXX Overhang problem was solved. And the clarity was improved.

that zeus costs and arm more than the brutus of the "same power" so that's gotta mean something... I think that amp will do its rated power and then some... it will power your xxx nice.

You can strap the Zeus series. Cant on the Brutus.

The only Hifonics I would ever own these days is the XX line and even though john from maxxsonics told me the new brutus are much better in comparison to the older versions I'd still get the XX series amps.
