I have the choice of buying a Hifonics 1210 at a discounted price, a Kicker 1500.1, or my personal fave the Audioque 1200D.

The kicker isn't 1 ohm stable and I have a dual 2 ohm Q coming in.

The hifonics isn't reliable at one ohm from what i've seen/researched

Audioque, I heard nothing but great reviews for.

Thanks guys

i had a hifonics and it did the job fine, but the aq is probably the way to go.

Thanks, it's 229$ and it seems to be much more worth it

As a former Hifonics owner and user, I'll say to steer clear of them. They have more than their share of reliability issues. While most of the people who experience reliability issues are most likely running them outside of their design specifications, and I never had a functionality issue with mine either, the overall performance leaves a good deal to be desired. They do their job, but really only do it befitting their price range. I watched the ones I owned begin to distort the signal far before they reached full output on an o'scope, with or without a load. One of the biggest reasons I got rid of them as quickly as possible. There seems to be amps out there, similar in price, that are far more trustworthy performers. Since you ordered a dual 2 Q, that throws the Kicker out, the Audioque 1200 is the next best option. A lot of people are using the Audiopipe amps as well. They're price seems too good to be true to me, but they have a lot of users so without a bench test I'll wait for a chance to play with one myself before giving any opinions. I'll just toss out there that there are people selling amps all the time. You could find a great used SAZ-1000 or SAE-1200 or even a refurbished one. Used amps of all different brands and sizes are for sale all the time.

I would do what Alton said. Hifonics don't have many good reviews. I heard the old Brutus series were decent but still, they don't seem very well built. I think kicker amps do not have an adjustable subsonic filter which means you would need to get one for it to keep your sub under control. I believe the Aq is for you. Best bang for your buck. It does rated and I've that they are reliable amps.

I would say the Audioque

Or if you can find a good deal on a Sundown 1000, 1200 or 1500 it would be even better

Buy the one with a variable subsonic filter!

Thanks for the reviews guys!

If I can i'll look into some Audiopipes or Sundowns

I wanted to get some Sundowns but i'm low on cash atm

x_x

Alright, so I looked into it

The Audiopipe will cost me about.. 160$

Should I just save for the Audioque or just go ahead and buy that

Thanks!

Having installed the AP1500 I'd save a bit more and go for the AQ.

Thanks for the comment

I'm pretty close to getting the AQ.

Sub is coming in today!

Finna work on that boxxx

an opinion of mine would be the Us Amps MD1D...same price as AQ..

Efficiency on that amp isn't very high at a one ohm load, my priority ohmage..

I'm pretty glued to the AQ.

Plenty of good reviews on youtube
