Punch HX2 vs Power HX2 - could by either or for 200 or 270

[nefariouscaine 10+ year member]

I have a few options I'm looking to buying right now

Either looking at buying a pair of Power HX2's or a pair of Punch HX2's

Both are in good condition

Punch HX2's would run me 200 bucks

Power's would run me 270

What should I buy???

Looking at running 1100-1300w rms amps right now on either pair - looking at doing sealed more SQ based setup for now as I don't have the space for a massive ported box for 2 of them

Not really looking to upgrade amps past what i have right now either

The Powers are good. If they are in nice shape I say do it.

The Powers are worth the 70 dollar difference if they're in good shape.

yeah - i'm not 100% sure on the history/shape of them

dudes got a 3rd that he blew/fried or just doesn't work any more... so.... I'm a little hesitant due to that reason alone

might pick up the fried one and one of the good ones though

Both are nice, but if it was me id go with the powers. For the extra 70$ you get 2x the power handling

I would do the Punches in a sealed box with that power.

i agree with this...

i would choose the powers over it though and port em

powers are nice but with that power go with the punches

powers are amazing with 4 inch coils but 1200 watts will only power one and they like ported, for your application the punches are what you want.

What amp do you have? if you get the powers i think your final load will be 2 or .5
