Posted November 21, 200915 yr Hey guys, just wondering how difficult it is to disable the illumination of the logo on these amps.I don't have one, otherwise It'd be open by now.Also, is it only the logo that lights up?I know the 08 series there's LED's as well around the border of the faceplate.

November 21, 200915 yr You just have to unplug 2 wires inside the amp. At least that's how the logo was powered on all Hifonics amps that I got my hands on.Did you consider any other amps if you didn't buy the Hifonics yet ?

November 21, 200915 yr Out of the 3 amps you listed, I would go with the AQ. But personally I think the better choice would be the new Sundown Audio SAE-1200D v.2. It is on pre-sale in the Sundown section of this forum. Check it out!

Seems like an awesome amp compared to your other 2 choices since AQ basically = Hifonics.i think the new SAE 1200 will be nice but i would not take it over a AQ 2200 D when powering a BTL.yea the 1200 is going at a great price right now. but so is the AQ 2200. how does 349 shipped for 2200 watts sound?i currently own both AQ and sundown amps and let me tell you that BOTH are nice.AQ = hifonics? really? (thats like me saying Sundown basically =audiopipe) and AQ amps are way more reliable then crapsonics products and actually at least do rated and most of the time a little more.

November 21, 200915 yr it's out of the hifonics and Aq get witchever can fit you're budget. use your own judgement, when i comes to spending your hard earn money., It's easy to suggest what amps a person should get , when you're not paying for it..

November 21, 200915 yr Author Hey guys, I'm looking at 2000RMS+ to power the BTL.I'm upgrading from a 12" Fi BL (1000RMS) which was powered by a Tarantula 1500D. That was a very nice combination.Therefore, the Sundown 1500 is not an option. Edited November 21, 200915 yr by b34tBoX

Ever looked inside those 2 amps ?
November 21, 200915 yr Author Yes, really. Ever looked inside those 2 amps ?I have, they have the same layout, but do use different components. Edited November 21, 200915 yr by b34tBoX

The Mb Quart dsc2000d is also another amp you should look into. how much are you looking to spend?? is the main question.
November 21, 200915 yr Yes, really. Ever looked inside those 2 amps ?I have, they have the same layout, but do use different components. if so i would love to see the different components between the two, that way we could compare what part is good and what part is not so good, instead of going by hear-say

November 21, 200915 yr DB-r sale repaired Sundown amps , you could visit his site and see what he has., AQ 2200 is $349 , i don't know how much the brutus 2600 is, but you can get the MB Quart 2000 for $300 or less, my brother got one for $275 shipped from sonicelectronics. Also if you get a daul 1ohm btl you can also look at the audiopipe 3000, you could also get those for less than $350

Yeah Hifonics are good amps but if your not getting the top of the line amps I wouldnt get one, since it is under MB Quart in quality and they are the same brand minus well go with the MB Quart. Just pick an amp that is within your budget, the bes thing abou Sundown amps they are underrated and usually do the rated rms at 12 volts while most companies rated rms is at 14.4 volts (if you dont have a steady voltage of 14.4volts, you will never see that rated rms). Just my .02I not really a fan of amps with lights on them because that is just extra heat that they have to shovel out, but yeah to turn the light off just unplug the wire that controls it.
November 22, 200915 yr Author Noone likes Soundstream?I thought the Tarantula 1500D was awesome.I still had a 1/3 turn on it after putting ~1200RMS to a loaded Fi BL.
November 22, 200915 yr Author I e-mailed Soundstream for some internal shots of the RUB1.2500D.I also asked if the series shares any circuity with any other SS models.Wish me luck! =P
November 22, 200915 yr I've used an amp quite similar to the TRX2000D, pretty satisfied with the performance.
