Hello all, I was looking for a amp for my Sundown Sa10 D4 Rev 2 sub. I was running it with a kicker zx750.1 amp but that amp finally quit on me( turns on but doesn't send signal to my sub.) . Someone recommended the Hifonics Brutus amps, so I was looking at the BRX1516.1D and the BRX1100.1D. As of this time I have a small budget due to jeep upgrades that need to be done.

I have my sundown sa10 wired to 2ohms in a 1.1 cf box tuned to 32hz.

Whoever recommended Hifonics should be shot in the face. Ok so it's not that serious but why run a grade A sub with a D- amp? How much are you wanting to spend?

 
My budget is very small, right now its less then 200 for a amp. My other amp couldn't pick a worst time to fail. I was tempted to buy the sundown 1000 amp but it was out of my price range(350) and I seen that It only pushed 500rms at 2 ohms.

 
I just found a kicker 12cx600.1 for 120 and a 12xc1200.1 for 170, both are certified Refurbished. Are kicker amps still any good? I know my 07ZX750.1 was a really good amp.

Do you know if kicker still under rates their amps? or do their 600rms amps only put out ~ 600? , I know my old zx was marketed as 750 but had a birthsheet of 932RMS. Just not sure if the CX600.1 will power that Sa 10 correctly

 
I just looked at the cab 1600 and its rated 2 Ohm 1255W @ 14.2v , Seems like it might overpower the sub. I believe the SA10 rev2 is rated for 600rms

 
ok thank you all for your help, I do hate buying cheap but sometimes there's no other option. This Cab 1600 seems like its a good amp, the reviews on it are all 5 stars

If you haven't already, read one of the gain setting tutorials. You can always back the gain down if you are worried about sending your sub to much power. I do personal know someone with a SA 15 on a SAZ 1500.

the subs will laugh at the power, you underestimate how beefy these subs are. People throw double the rms to them all the time dont trip. There's a thing called box rise as well, you'll never see 2 ohm power out of them. Never ever worry about overpowering, worry more about keeping a clean signal.

Yes, they are painted. The cover is very easy to take off and repaint to whatever color of choice to match the install.
