Do you really get what you pay for? Today I compare the Hifonics Brutus BRZ2400.1 to the SQ 2200D to see if the Soundqubed amp is worth the extra cost.
A little while back I noticed the Hifonics 2400 looked an awful lot like the SQ 2200 inside. And after getting some talk about how much better the SQ amp was, I decided to pit them against each other

WOW. I watched the entire video, and I'm no expert on amp components but everything that this guy says makes sense and seems to be valid. I heard rumors about the Hifonics being the same as the SQ but I had thought there's absolutely NO way this is true. I was terribly wrong. I run a SQ2200 and I am completely shocked now. Just wow...

I see all these people saying, "I run Model X amp into a dead short all day!". My question to you: WHY?!?! It makes no sense! When driving low impedance loads, the amp makes MASSIVE heat which leads to much lowered life, the THD goes through the roof, the efficiency goes way down, and the damping factor goes into the dirt. Why the hell would you want to do that? Low impedance loads also requires you to spend huge sums of money on big alternators, extra batteries, and the huge gauge wiring that all of that entails. Couple that with the incredibly crappy gas mileage that you're going to get carrying around 300 extra pounds of battery all the time, and you're losing even *more* money. If you run your amps at high impedance, 4 or even 8 ohms, you gain so, SO much. The amp lives long lives, the THD goes way down for a more enjoyable listening experience, and you don't have to waste a wheelbarrow load of cash on huge batteries and wiring.

Michael Bloom the reason why is because these amps will not make power worth a damn at 4 or even 8 ohm they are ment to be ran at low impedances ... I personally run 6 dual 4 ohm 15" subwoofers in series/parallel for a final impedance 1.33 ohms to my amplifier Wich does 2000rms but in reality it's not BC it's running at 1.33 it's only doing about 1520rms and trust me you can feel a difference. I will eventually run an amp to each so I can run cleaner power to my subs at a higher impedance. but I have a budget so if one can do the job of six ...well there's your answer.

Most amps don't do that well at 2 ohms but that is why I run kicker and fosgate....all nums are done at 2 ohms....Got a 2500 watt kicker amp....Then able to do that 2500 at 2 ohms and 5/8 of that 2500 you can still do at 4 ohms. lol.... and people bang on kicker....smh. You want a amp to last, electrical to last....kicker or fosgate.....

I enjoyed the video, and I appreciate your efforts in producing it. Some things that I noticed you didn't compare between the output FETs is Rds(on) and the thermal de-rating factor. If one device has a lower on resistance than the other, it will produce less heat. Also, due to de-rating factors, one device could have a better 25º current rating, but once derated for the real operating temperature, handle less current. Not trying to say any of the devices compared here are better or worse, just something you might want to consider next time. Thanks again for your work!

I see the LCD led guys comment. I am a mechanic by trade and have seen this trend with engines. The same 2.4 4cyl that was Toyotas worst 4cyl ever was made by another engine maker and proof is that the same 2.4 motor is now powering most gm 4 cyl vehicles and has been for about ten years. The same trend was proven to me doing research of led grow lights. Our economy has lead to and contributed to the demise of priority brands and manufacture differences. If humans keep up wanting what others have our individuality and creativity won't exist. No one does research on what they buy perfect example is the same led light on Amazon sells for more than a thousand dollars. That exact light with a different branding is less than 300 on another site. Components are exact just described differently to the uneducated consumer. Bottom line is everything you buy should be looked into deeply before shelling out

It's all about bang for the buck I don't care what people say or think I've been in the game since 89 when I bought my first rf punch 150 which costed way to much back then! But around 5 yrs ago I bought a a HF BRX ran it .5 ohms daily beat the piss out of it for 3 yrs sold it to my cousin who runs it at 1 ohm daily to buy my RF T1500BDCP which is a beast run it 1 ohm but I have ran it .5 and has put down any amp that is rated 2000 or less with ease! And got brand new with warranty for 430$ which was cheaper than my first RF P150!

Nice review - thank you for putting this together! Learned a little about component ratings as well as amp design and this seems like a fair test. Advantage HiFonics: Same power, lower price, slight advantage on component quality, balanced inputs and phase adjustment. After that it comes down to personal preference (I don't own or prefer either amp or brand).

I had to different Hi-Fonics amps old school 2000 watts and 2400 watts , they are good cheap amps but efficiency is not there!! The power is not clean!!!

Hifonics uses "okay" electrolytic capacitors, but cheap box capacitors (Yellow), and SQ uses cheap sh!tty electrolytic capacitor, but uses super high quality box capacitors (Blue)...How is the price for both?

people say that hifonics paterns after soundqubed, hifonics was making amps when the people from soundqubed was still shitting in diapers, i would go hifonics because the watt for dollar price over the soundqubed.

mike s Actually the board in the AQ/SQ amp is a direct build house copy of the Hifonics... they (Maxxsonics) have been using this same board design for almost 20 years... SQ is far from the only company that has copied them either... just a lil FYI ;)

Awesome video man. You seem to be a GURU in the electronics field and must have been doing this stuff since after college. So this is the only model of Hifonics that is the same as the SQ 2200D. This must be the old model though because I don't think they make the BRZ models anymore. The circuit boards must be different in the new models.

It's a great comparison. Not knocking hifonics amp cause it is a good amp. With good electrical it will put good #s. It would had been great if u could drop it down to .5 ohms to see which would hold up.

Excellent. Learned a lot here. Used to work at Motorola/ On Semiconductor, after the units were 2 years old we had to scrap these by the thousands. For the HiFonics amp, if my deck put out an 8 volt rca signal to the amp, would that increase the amps output watts? 8 volts seems louder and cleaner than 2 or 4 volts. Maybe we could get closer to that 2400 mark than 2109

I would like to see a test with actual music added to your videos choose a song that is popular for the test or your favourite type of song. Essentially something with repetitive 40ish hz as another guy done a test on their new amp and got 3700rms out of it when it's rated for 3000watts

I got 2 15" Soundqubed hds3's subwoofers with a hifonics Brutus 2400.1 amp and man these things hit really nice with this amp. so glad I saved some money and chose the hifonics, and don't get me wrong, I did want the Soundqubed just because it was Soundqubed but for the same power and a little better and save some money, I'm good with my hifonics and looks awesome at night lit up, you forgot the sweet Led lights....ja

Geta real HiFonics (Old School) amp rated to do 500 or 600 and watch it do double, Class A or AB amps rated at 12v, and RMS was rated at .01 distortion. Today they are rated at .1% or something, and they publish 14v ratings.

They made them because it was cheaper to make. If you think we are in a quality progressive scale in manufacturing in general, you couldn't be more wrong. Industry in all sectors for consumer level goods has for the past 4 decades been strongly moving towards planned obsolescence, and lower quality to sell more quantity. Class do uses cheaper components, less resources thatt cost more. There are decent D amps, but the reason is not quality. It is power management, and cheaper resources. The only thing they have improved over the years is making them acceptable with higher frequency in channeling the power cycles.

thank you for this man. i was about to get a soundqubed amp, but i think I'm goin with sundown now. unless you know anything about them that makes them like some cheaper brands. one thing about the soundqubed you failed to mention, it has high quality rca jacks, where the hifonics does not.
@TheAmpLab
@TheAmpLab 9 жыл бұрын
You are right about the RCAs. nothing bad about Sundown. Really nothing bad about SQ either. Just saying it's more expensive and relatively similar to the Hifonics, which I also think is decent.
