[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5396534, member: 596464"] OK, let me take this thread back in the original direction.... This all started because I was thinking about getting a Hifonics XXV-COLOSSUS to give a pair of dd1508s 600 watts each @ 4 ohms. If I ever decide to jump into full SPL mode, I figure I could always keep this amp and expand on it further. That is where all the trash talking began when I inquired locally. The Memphis dealer said Hifonics is junk and to get a Memphis amp. Sorry, I have already been burned on Memphis because I already had a Memphis PR amp and it died several times under warranty. I had ordered a Mojo and another M class amp online, and both of them arrived DOA resulting in me having to file UPS claims. Guess what the root of the problem was with all of them? Transistors snapped off the circuit board due to lack of support on ALL of them! Next I talked to my buddy who works for a local shop and he took it upon himself to show me that Hifonics was junk by showing and playing the cheapest amp in the line.... I would like to think that the Colossus line is better than the entry level Brutus line. Sorry to offend anyone, but I really didn't have high expectations for the Brutus to begin with and now I really think less of the Brutus line. So basically, I am stuck with either continuing my quest for a decent SQ Class D amp, purchasing another 25 to Life Punch 150 to power my pair of 1508s (one on each), purchasing another huge Linear Power and getting it modded (which is proving to be more difficult with every passing month), OR purchasing a Digital Designs class A/B amp!
