IIRC audiobahn makes them so I wouldnt be impressed by it but I could be wrong it could be an awesome amp for the $$

no, the lower 48 only sorry im selling the amp at dealer cost and eating 20+ on the shipping.

the brutus is definately more durable tho.

thanks. Is the 2006d 1 ohm stable? i plan on running two type R 1242d with that amp.

they are probably equal in terms of quality and reliability, but the xsite can be run at 1/2 ohm.

only thing I didn't like about the xsite is that the heatsink is very sharp and that makes it difficult to handle when installing without cutting yourself

yes they are 1 ohm stable get the 2010d tho and do not mount the amp to the sub box or it can break the driver board inside. you are gonna push 1000 w rms to each sub?

no i was planning on 750 each but i was gonna get a deal on the 2006d so i was gonna get that just incase i get a single sub setup and run 2000watt to a sub or just any future upgrades.

Can you show a picture of a board being broken? Don't think I've ever seen a board break inside a amp due to it just being mounted on a sub box. Have had my MTX Thunder amp's mounted to my box for years and nothing has ever happened to them.

Should be good with the 2006d amp, but for the price that Sic Audio is asking for the new model is a really good price. Bascially what I would ask for mine and I have a 08 model 2608 Bxi Hifonics.

Just be careful with the gains if you go with the 2010 at 1-ohm. Subs will see at least 1k a piece, and a lot run them with that much power, just need to know what you are doing.

Never heard of xsite, so can't comment on them.

Also x2 to running many amps on the back of the box with no problems ever. I do usually use rubber grommets or something of the likes when I put an amp there, which I should do now to my highs amp, lol! Then again, I have ran them straight to the box with no problems.
