Orion 1200d

I wanted to get a 1200w + amp.. and was thinking that for the extra money for one on ikesound.com (it's refurbished 90 day warrantee) or should i get the brutus 1500??

i'm leaning towards the orion because of their reputation, and the size, but the brutus has some fine points too..

god.. someone with some experience here help me out a bit.. it's like 50 bucks for the orion over the hifonics, and it will put out 1500 real watts at 13.8v.. i was wondering what the brutus has benched at @ 13.8 v.

so, basically this thread is to see if you can change my mind.. this amp is going to be in a hot mofo place without much breating room.. was worried about hifonics reliability and have read some threads about them turning off.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

i believe someone bench the BX1500D at 13.8v and it did like 1528w, search in General Discussion for Hifonics Birthsheet, it should be in there

according to the HF tech department, they are rated @ 13.8v

so, probably a little more power than the orion

I would get the Hofonics... after DEI bought out Orion, they haven't been the same.

explain yourself if you are going to make such an off the wall comment.
