k3n12ock Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have narrowed it down to these two amps. Which one should I get? Hopefully will be ordering the amp by the end of the week. Audiopipe 15001 $179 RF T10001bd Refurb $235 HIFONICS Brutus BXi1606D Refurb $199 Quote 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 The rf amp all the way, you will pay a lil more but worth it. The audiopipes are cheap, most are a about 100-250 watts away from their rated rms, and the same goes for the hifonics. The rf amp will do 1300-1600 depending on how good of electrical you have, where as the other amps with great electrical still wont be upto par.

97maxima Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Id stay away from refurbs, you could always step up to the ap 1800 for what youd spend on the refurb 1k Quote American Bass*DC Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Most likely the rockford amp is refurbed by rockford, and tested to be in good working order. And if you buy the audiopipe 1800, it may come close to the power the rf will do. Lol Where as the hifonics could of been refurbed or fixed anywhere with a crap repair job. I know of one maybe old hifonics auth service centers and their repair abilitys are a joke...... Edited May 27, 2009 by Bangin Caddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
