Hifonics Brutus BXi-2600 or Power Acoustik Sl-3400?

Question

im looking to buy one of these amps. they are both 2600 watts rms... i just can't make up my mind. any suggestions and why?

Answer 1

they are both mediocre at best, flea market grade, bottom rung brands that are very over rated, you would be lucky if they could produce half of the advertised RMS wattage and it would more than likely be distorted (the main cause of sub damage)

you need to stick with CEA-compliant brands- which means that the amps have been tested and produce or exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion and the subs can handle their advertised RMS wattage also

here are the top CEA-compliant brands

Alpine

Bazooka

Blaupunkt

Clarion

Eclipse

Infinity

JBL

JL Audio

JVC

Kenwood

Kicker

MTX

Pioneer

Polk Audio

PPI

Rockford Fosgate

Sony

but if it was between those two brands i would go with the hifonics

Answer 2

well my cuzin owns a hifonics amp and he says that they are pretty good cuz he has 2 kicker solobaric woofers and that amp makes them hit pretty hard i have seen them but i really dont know much about them cuz i have never had a hifonics right now i got a kenwood 3500 watt amp
