fritosaregood Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 are all you're comparing them on is the minute power difference that you wont notice and that ridiculous frequency range.. which you wont need any thing over around 18k hz anyway. and if its for mid and highs the youll want a lower THD anyway. But if its not what you wanted get a refund. But if you don't wanna buy the rubi on another site for more money and you have nothing else in mind just get the piccasso, but make sure they refund you the price difference.

jconnway Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Ok guys.. I knew I didn't want that Picasso. But thanks for all the input. I value all the opinions highly and you all sided with what I think is right. Fingers crossed that this goes smoothly tomorrow. I want a rubi I'm gonna have a rubi lol Quote Full Pioneer Build 4 Per Door - Front Door Build Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconnway Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) are all you're comparing them on is the minute power difference that you wont notice and that ridiculous frequency range.. which you wont need any thing over around 18k hz anyway. and if its for mid and highs the youll want a lower THD anyway. But if its not what you wanted get a refund. But if you don't wanna buy the rubi on another site for more money and you have nothing else in mind just get the piccasso, but make sure they refund you the price difference. Those are the two major differences in the amps specs. And yes I know they aren't major. But you know what else bothers me about this? The rubi is more aesthetically pleasing. I think it's a better looking amp in general. And plus, you may think 20 watts difference won't matter, but it does. A few extra watts per speaker (within rated, no clipping) is a good thing, who wouldn't want that. Edit: THD Picasso - .03 THD rubi - .015 Again, tiny ass difference but a difference nonetheless Edited June 23, 2011 by jconnway Quote Full Pioneer Build 4 Per Door - Front Door Build Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt402 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 ask for a $10 discount & get the other amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4killer_ Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 where james at like bahhhh both amps are complete garbage zomg dont waste ur money anyway, get your money back and look elsewhere. imo its worth a couple extra bucks to deal with an actual site with a reputation rather than skim through ebay adds unless its a uuber deal and most of those are too good to be true :/ Quote Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
