Sleezyk Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Im hesitant to put down 600bucks on a dc 2.0k when similar amps like cab1600.1 and hifonics brutus are under $250... Is the extra cost just how well made and how long they will last? Dont plan to be banging sundowns till my 80th birthday. Edited June 28, 2016 by Sleezyk Quote BOSS Audio FTW!

Wasteland_Audio Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 A DC 2k is worth that much because it actually puts out a true 2000 watts rms at 12.6 volts, which amps that are half the price do not. Look trough enough build logs, the amount of people running DC amps should speak for the quality of these amps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2loud4uboyz Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Yes there worth it. They have better boards and broad parts. Will last longer, and give cleaner power and sound better doing it But you have to back it up. Guess you already know this one. Get what you pay for. I was hard headed and tight on money. And learned the hard way to many times. Save and get better to begin with. Edited June 28, 2016 by 2loud4uboyz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
