Used hifonics BRX 2400.1D or equivalent price?

[Audio freak]

I'm trying to find a good budget amplifier for my 2 American

Bass XFL 12"s. Im thinking the hifonics brx 2400.1 used or AQ2200.1 used. I could buy new but I'm on a tight budget right now. I'm looking to run the subs at their full rms power or a little more but clean at that power. I want to stay below 300 dollars as of now but if their are other amps around that could perform better than the hifonics by a huge step that would fit 2 xfl 12s I'll pay more so let me know.

If they have any left on ebay for $250 shipped, look into the soundstream ta1.3000d. There was as store with 3 left at that price. All other online places have went up to $350 plus for the amp. Its a really solid budget amp for the money. I have mine ran at .5 daily with no sweat, has never got to hot on me and never protected.

Its Rated 2500 rms @ 1 ohm, and 3000 rms @ .5ohm and will run .5ohm daily and burp .25ohm(ive never done it but seen others do it). Also ive been told its a Korean board

The aq and hifi amps are very similar doubt you will see any difference between the two. Get which ever is cheaper

Skar t-2000. On amazon for 324 brand new. I run one and it pushes my hdc 3 pretty well. Company has a rough history but it's a solid amp at a nice price.

How much do the SQ 2200 go for new or used? Im having trouble finding the SQ 2200 they are very popular. I'm thinking maybe hifonics will be easier to find but the BRX 2400.1 is harder to find then the newest BRX 2416.1d model. I don't know though.............. I saw someone selling the hifonics due to the plastic mounting brackets snapping, is this a well known problem? It seems though the SQ 2200 is around 429.99 and the Hifonics is 300-350 dollars.

Used sq2200s usually go for around $300-$330 shipped

I can get the hifonics, or even the better model brutus elite for you the old style.

That would be great id love to get a good amp for once. The cx1200.1 is the best I've had so far. I feel the hifonics plastic mounting feet are a huge turn off due the older models have the plastic mounting feet?

My buddy has a aq 2200 that he might sell.

On youtube The Amp Lab dyno tested the cx1200.1 and got 1400-1500 watts rms at 1ohm. Going to 2000-2100rms is it going to be a huge difference on the 2 xfls?

To be honest man, Dynamic power tests dont mean sh*t. Amps that can pass a certified run will be a crapton louder than amps that just pass only the dynamic run.

If its budget then you can probably find a used 2400.1 brutus for 200 bucks someone and it'll work fine. If you want the best possible, a DD, Sundown, incriminator, DC amp will have massive sound quality and loudness difference compared to a hifonics amp.

Ok so to be honest Skar audio t-2000d has grabbed my interest. I just don't know what to go with out of hifonics BRX2400 SQ2200 or the skar t-2000 they are all in the Same range of price but what will perform the best?

So that kicker is really quite now that I smoothed the waves out. The xfls where overheating because of series clipping. I guess it should have been obvious that a 1200 watt amp had 2 xfls louder than hell. Now it's pathetic compared to before but clipping for loudness isn't worth damaged subs. You think I should just save up and make a huge step to something like a DC 2k or sundown SCV 2000? Thing is I would really like to stay in a budget I just don't want to be disappointed with the hifonics or SQ 2200 over the cx1200.1

Yeah I love the performance and look of the SQ2200. I think that's what I'm getting. Plus I have my enclosure faced forward right now into the car with the seat removed. Thankfully my car has no metal behind the seat. So the amp will be on the back for everyone to see and the SQ2200 def looks nicer.

I'm just wondering? How much do the BRZ2400.1 or BRX2400.1s go for used? I thinking of using that for the x 15 and getting the SQ for the xfls.
