you burnt a tinsel lead because theres NOT enough power? HUH?! with that theory, everyones speakers would be blown by playing them at half volume. you were probably clipping the sub.

i wouldn't really get neither the hifonics or the shitpipe.

whats your budget? what is the ohm load you're looking to wire at?

i'd honestly just stick with the JL amp, since thats the highest quality amp of the other two brands you're looking at (by fucking light years). you just need to get it tuned properly

The AP will probably be cheaper and work fine. The Brutus will...well work fine. Neither are outstanding amps but they will make your sub move.

My vote goes for the AP, they're tough little bastards. I've personally seen one put through absolute hell before it blew.

EDIT: Fuck me why are you replacing a Slash series with an entry level amp? If the tinsel lead was burnt that's overpowering period so more power is not what you need. Now if it tore or ripped then that's a different problem.

Well that's what I was told. The lead had shitty signal to it and burnt it. I'm positive it was clipping but can't find n e one that knows shit enough yo help me adjust and no dd1 or o scope. Used dmm to set amp but need help with settings. Was just told i need a bigger amp to push it. And personally I love the amp I have. Maybe strap another on?

so you want to get another amp...to solve for clipping. re read what you wrote and realize how absurd that sounds.

take a clear picture of the settings side of your amp. go to www.imgur.com upload picture, copy the code that has IMG in it. just copy and paste into a reply box on here.
