saz2000d vs hifonics xx hercules

[Lonnie 10+ year member]

Both are about the same price if buying used. Obviously the Hercules is used due to it being a older model. Both are power efficient and push out rated power on good electrical.

Leveled it down to these 2 to push a dvc 2ohm 18" sub. Can't decide...not wanting to spend more than $500 on a amp and not wanting to go higher than 2k.

Guess a good question would be which can handle getting hot in a trunk better. I think subs will drop below 1ohm at times. Unsure about that though. My dmm sucks.

Sundown will take abuse better and can make more than rated power

Well the old hifonics xx series is supposed to be kick *** and be able to handle a bit of punishment as well.

xx herc does more than rated and is .5 stable just as the sundown.

I'd take either honestly

whichever is cheaper slight or is in better condition. You know that someone on CACO is selling a hifonics XXV Thor for 300 shipped right? If I wasn't downgrading, I would buy that ***** in a second.

I'd rather deal with DB-r in the event of failure than Maxxsonics or however the **** you spell that

dBr isn't the only repair person. ghostmechanic on CACO does amp repairs and then there's the amp repair medic that does repairs for crescendo, and amprepaircenter that (I think) AQ sends their stuff to. Those are just the ones that I know of.

ampjunkielikeme does as well as far as I knew, and he's decently cheap.

O yeah, I forgot about him and there's MakeShiftAudio. He diagnosed an amp for me for free but I felt bad he spent his time without getting paid so I sent him 5 bucks.

Yea I saw it to. Will be a couple weeks before I got the cash though. $1800 from my financial aid check...whole thing is going straight into my car. A couple little mechanical things and some mods...as well as car audio of course. Replacing my AP15001d and my sub if I can get it sold. Will be posting it up again on this site and caco for $200+shipping in about a week. Trying local first.

Yes but dbr's workmanship is by far the best out there

AQ has not used amp repair center for several years. We used then for about 3 months when we first introduced our amp line. Our amps are serviced in Oklahoma City. We stock repair parts for all of our amps.
