ZX1500.1 or Brutus BXi1606d on Type Rs??

I have yet to see a stock electrical that can maintain 14.4 on a 1500-2000 RMS amp.
Directly swapping his amp to my car, my voltage drop was less, and I was louder.

exactly, thats why you wanna get better electrical before you run any amp over 1kw

I would still bet the Kicker would put out more power @ 14.4 than the Hifonics.

And did you have the same car? Different cars will handle them differently, stock alts range from 40-50 amps all the way to 100-120 amps...cabin gain changes significantly between different cars, as does the perception of the sound. Sometimes even if it doesn't get any louder, a different car can make it feel/seem louder due to different bodys/parts having different resonances, even if cabin gain alone doesn't give much difference.

Second sentence of that post, I swapped my amp with his, in my car.

Eventhough I have a 1606d, the answer is easy on this one.

Kicker.

Got the Zx hooked up with the type r 10s. Sounds awesome. no coil smell at all. The box is 2.7 cubes tuned at 40hz. awesome output.
