Only for SPL purposes and the occasional bassrace/driveby run.and if IIRC the dsc amps were only supposed to go to 2 ohms when strapped.... you ran em for a year or so at 1 ohm strapped correct?
Hifonics brutus amps are junk the cheap stuff is cheap because thats how there made I had them break took them to a amp repair guy that has fixed amps for me before he opened it up and told me its not worth fixing.Most the maxxsonics stuff is the same thats why ebay is loaded with refurbs. Its a very hungry amp that produces distorted power I would rather go audiopipe then hifonics 400 is not cheap for 1800 watts on a amp that says 2100. I also look on craigslist alot and its usually full of busted or refurbed maxxsonics products look at the new autotek mm4000 or the crunch gpv3000 if your gonna go that route by the pioneer at walmart.me too... trust me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I would LOVE to see someone publish it lol
especially if they were an unbiased party //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Hifonics has always made good stuff, some just as good as others and some not, but always good in retrospect to what else is out there..and for a great price vs quality point...
I abuse every Maxxsonics/Hifonics product I have ever owned and always will and I have never blown any of it.. that why I use, promote and sell it lol
not because it is my favorite.. because I can and do abuse it way beyond its reasonable limit and it survives ... I have and use other brands as well and do the same, some live most do not... Boston is a fav of mine as well because it does the same thing...
Sorry bro..Maxxonics>Audiopipe.

Crunch > MaxxonicsSorry bro..Maxxonics>Audiopipe. I speak that from experience.
So do I, I have a ap30001d sitting here right now had a hfi 2000 two weeks ago I go through alot of equipment also had a powerbass asa 1500 a week and a half ago I'm getting a orion 2500d in two weeks.Sorry bro..Maxxonics>Audiopipe. I speak that from experience.
why dont you just spend a little bit more money and buy one good piece of equipment that you are happy with instead of changing every other weekSo do I, I have a ap30001d sitting here right now had a hfi 2000 two weeks ago I go through alot of equipment also had a powerbass asa 1500 a week and a half ago I'm getting a orion 2500d in two weeks.
you do know Maxx owns crunch....Autotek.....MBQuart....Hifonics...Crunch > Maxxonics
My guy is a hifonics dealer and theres a maxxsonics in Illinois and they repair them and sell them they might have told you they don't and I seen them go out at his shop time and time again I can get the name of the guy that repairs them with a 3 month warranty at maxxsonics but I'm not gonna get a guy fired over a internet debate and this crunch>maxxsonics there the same company lol but your opinion is like my opinion mine means **** to you yours means **** to me that simple.yeah like you said.... refurbed stuff... and alot that was never intended to be sold... thats why it is on egay ....duh...
if they have so many problems why dont you go to an authorized dealer and ask how many issues they have with direct buy product... it is a matter of public record for all electronics btw...
I have had a few warranty issues...less than 1%.. not to bad. oh wait... darn they were all abused and thats why they broke.. but because it was direct bought and not a furb off of the net they got replaced for free factory direct...
maxxsonics doesn't do repairs they just replace the item with a new 1...
any "refurbs" you see are not from them or any Maxxsonics authorized repair center because they do not allow it...
oh and IIRC even chris redline and makeshift all said they have some of the best build quality seen for something considered to be a "budget" product...
not the best in the business but the best for the $$'s spent compared to the watts gained..
might wanna crack open some other amps and compare parts and designs next time...
bottom line:
buy authorized and get a great product... just like you would with SD, IA, SSA, RE, DD ect....
I buy and sell equipment to fund my system see deals buy it sell it trade it and have fun doing it with lots of crazy story's not to mention you don't know what you have til you seen a majority of everything else something is better I keep it sell what I have thats what everyone else does maybe not in the same velocity.I also get board with the same equipment have to try different stuff.why dont you just spend a little bit more money and buy one good piece of equipment that you are happy with instead of changing every other week
