Soundstream Or Hifonics

If you had to buy an amp from one of these guys , which one would you buy?

well actually neither... but Soundstream if i HAD to chose ( depends on the application actually, Soundstream would be an OK choice for running satellites at moderate listening levels )Kevin Gerry

im actully lookin for a class d that can run about 1500 watts mono 1 ohm stable and they are the only guys that show decent prices for an amp of this magnitude.

unfortunately i'm basing my choice from a servicers point of view, not based on features, price, etc, etc.   i've fixed too many of both to want to own one.....Kevin Gerry

well i dont plan on fixing the amps really.. ever, but now i turned my attention to the 1200 watt diamond audio amp ... runs 1 ohm stable... is 1 ohm okay for sq??

I have had Hifonics Amps for 12 years or more and have never had one fail. Great Amps except the newer stuff. The best is Series VII or VIII. Pick up a Zeus Series VII or even a Boltar Series VII for under $400.00 and put it against anything out there. You want the product built by Zed Audio not the maxxsonics junk. Why do you want to run anything at 1 ohm mono? All this load does is demand more current, generate more heat and take an amp for all it's worth even though it's rated for .5 ohms stereo or 1 ohm mono. From my experience the lower the impedance the more the quality goes out the window.

Because i want to get a brahama and there DVQ 2ohm And i tried looking for a 4 ohm stable amp at a out 1500 watts class D , its pretty hard finding one.. anyone got any ideas?
