my audiopipe amp stopped working but since it had warranty i just returned it now the problem im having is what would be a better buy to push my 2 12" 4 ohm L7s a brand new hifonics amps that is rated at 1600 at ohm or a kicker KX1200.1 i know that kicker is way underated and hifonics is overrated but the kicker would be refurbished and the hifonics new and i would be getting both of them for just a lil bit under 300 shipped so wich one do you guys recomend

Hifonics BXI2006D. It'll probably put out around 1600W, which should be perfect for those L7s. It's just over $300 shipped on eBay. Not a big fan of refurbished items.

Kicker amps > Hifonics any day, theres no comparison, lol. You would probably get about 1500 watts from that Kicker.


And there's nothing wrong with refurb amps. A lot of them are actually a refurb chassis with with a brand new board in it, so it's essentially a new amplifier. The only difference is usually the warranty, which you shouldn't need anyway if you are buying a quality amp.

yep^ and the output wouldn't be so much more with the hifonics that's be noticeable anyway. go with the better quality kicker.

i'd say it's the same as seeing a non-refurb on ebay, the seller probably just wants to sell it.
