p3000.1 vs 2 hifonics brutus BXi 2008D's

[pcchris 10+ year member]

i just bought 2 massive audio p3000.1's last night thier two long around 3 something foot amps in black boxes....

and im wondering should i had went with 4 hifonics BXi 2008D's instead of the two massives that only do around 3000rms and the hifonics do around 2000rms

some people on ROE were telling me stick with the massives Hifonics is crap but ive seen what the hifonics can do on youtube ive heard nothing but bad about the massive

what do you guys think keep the massive p3000.1's and give each of my hdc318's 1500rms or get 4 BXi 2008D's and give them boys 2000rms a piece will i gain spl?

only thing about the massive is it looks cooler and i got both for $780

but if i go with the 4 hifonics will i gain sound level while keeping quality and will it **** up the same amount of power since the massives aint nothing but 2 p15000.1 in the same casing

im torn between the two...

"that onyl do around 3k rms" lol

if you already ordered it, try it out, see if you like it first... and basically if you wanna knwo waht youll gain, basically its 3db for everytime you double power.. so you might see some increase, but its up to you whether its worth going through all the trouble for it, when im sure it will be pretty fkn loud as it is

If you have the Massive's, run them. They're decent amps.

Hifonics and Massive is about on the same page, in my book. The Hifonics would make around 1750 at least, per amplifier. So Figure on 3500 for two of them, if I had to guess. The Massive, from what I know about them and what little experience I have, wont touch that.

The Hifonics would have been more power in my opinion, but the Massive amps are still decent amplifiers. Dont get down on yourself by any means.

so would you go with the hifonics or the massives i have the option to take them back....

Completely up to you.

I would have just bought something different, but with the two options listed probably the Hifonics. Get more input before you make that decision though.

ID go with Hifonics, everyone on here pretty knows that if you want to keep it cheap and want an opinion on an amp ill mostl ikely recomend a maxxsonics product. The hifonics amps look great, they are pretty small compared to some other ones. But i would deifnalty go with them because of there power and reliability.

If there's no fuses on the amp, then the amp relies on you to externally fuse it

bxi2008 cant be strapped unless you use a maxxlink. The bxi2608 can be strapped.
