Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D and Gladiator GLX1000.1D

Recommended Posts

I have two Type R 12's wired to 1 ohm 1000W RMS, and I was thinking about getting one of these 2 amps to power the subs. Does anyone have any experience with these amps? Also I have a stock 2005 altima with 110 amp alt. Willl this be enough to push the ampliifier if I do the BIg 3?

Hey man I had the Brz 1200 and honestly wouldn't recommend it. If your budget is around 150 then yes but if you want your subs to sound really good and clean I would suggest http://www.audioque.com/AQ1200D-Amplifier_p_30.html

Its a really nice priced amp and it makes more power than rated, Hifonics always are very close to rated. Also the Hifonics are very power hungry (not too efficient ) so something like the Audioque would be easier on your alternator. There are also other good amps but I've heard first hand the AQ and its awesome, I can't talk others because Ive never heard them.

I was comparing one of the Gladiators to the BRZ1700, couldn't find much info on the GLDs, so i went with the BRZ. Im happy with it so far. Im running my 1700 @ 2 ohms, HC1400 under the hood. Sounds pretty good, digs nice and deep....no experience with gladiators, but if your strapped for cash, BRZ is a great choice. Why 2 amps though? Are your subs both dual 2s?

woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked

+1 the btz isn't going to be a total distortion free amp at 1200 watts. I dd-1'd it and I bought a skar 1500 in a week

But a BRZ is a fraction of the price of the skar....he has a budget, and for the budget, he isnt going to beat the BRZ

Everyone i talked to at local shows recommended the apsm 1500.1 and i ended up getting it and i havnt had a single problem, red top under hood, with a hc 800 never drops below 12.9 at 1 ohm, at 2 ohm i could play 13.4 all day long. Strong amp for the price. I havnt had any problems with heat issues either running in 100 degree heat.

edit- best part is that its 125 shipped new from vm innovations. but that dont cover it, the package just shows the audiopipes box, thats my only concern.
