ok so i can get my jl 500/1 fixed for a lil over 120 dollars by this repair company bill told me about. or i can get one of 2 hifonics amps. both are under 200 shipped. the brutus bxi606 or the zues zxi 6006. the zues is an A/B 600 x 1 @ 4 ohms. and the brutus is a "Super Class D" 600 x 1 @ 1 ohm. would the class make a difference?

all the diffrence is gonna be current draw and temp. the class ab will be a little cleaner than class d but will run hotter and suck more current. CIA quoted u? everyone is gonna freak because you suggested dumping your jl for hifonics but i dont see any issues with it. im sure gonz will have a coniption but either of those will run a sub just fine. there made for subs not for speakers were the amp would make a huge diffrence i quote kiki a watt is a watt.

oh ok, yeah cia said about 120 to fix it and pay for shipping back to me. as for the class ab sucking more current, would the d suck more too because it would be ran at 1 ohm?

not in this amps case but its hard to tell without testing it to be certain. i think the super class d hifonics amps are like 85+ percent efficent.

do you know off hand if that is more than the zues ab or the jl 500?

more efficent?

yeah, sorry

the zues will draw much more current than either the jl or the brutus it looks as if jl has the same class d technology that hifonics uses so i would say those are about the same.

Don't dump JL for Hifonics. JL is very high quality product and no way would I ever choose Hifonics over JL.

you were right bill!! lol
