It's a refurb, but it's a solid amp.

im gonna go with the hifonics BXi 1206 ibeleive its 900 watts RMS at 2ohms but thats ok for me cuz i dont want to overheat my amp any ways and i think 2 infinity 12.1's should be fine with 900 anyways.

actual power of the 1400D is probably pretty close to the HF, and I would consider the Lanzar slightly better in overall quality.
The few bench test results that have shown up on the Brutus amps continually show them to fall short of thier power ratings, and I've never known of an Optidrive that wasn't at least a little UNDER-rated, some models being VERY under-rated.

In the big picture they're very comparable amps, but I personally lean a little to the Optidrive.

i'd say just the optidrive and maybe some monoblocks, cuz lanzar has pretty bad products... about the warranty, IDK but i've seen lanzar refurbs with 1 year warranty...

a lil list of lanzars good amps would be:

Optidrive line
Lanzar vibe 1200d(underrated!) and 1800d( 4x30A fuses) i own it and it does the job nicely.
Heritage 2600d (around 1500w rms for less than 250$)
Vibe 3100d (overrated cuz it claims 3000w but it puts 1700w rms for less than 350$)

other amps are kinda questionable...

the best price on ebay for the opti drive 1400 is $250 shipped . the best price for the BXi 1206D is $225 shipped but i can upgrade to the BXi1606D for 253 shipped so is it really worth it for the lanzar? What am i paying extra for? The BXi 1606D is huge its 1100 Rms @ 2ohms way more than i need. I only have 2 Infinity kappa perfect 12.1s Rated at 350 Rms a peice. If the Sq is Noticable better in the opti Drive i might Get it but its only rated a 650 Rms @ 2 ohms i dont want to over heat it or send a clipped signal.

well just some calculations... the 1606d puts 1300w rms at 1 ohm, at 2 ohms should put around 700w or less.... that's a risk you're willing to take?? seriously, why you don't get a better amp such as kicker 750.1 or another brand??? save some money...

i'd pick the optidrive instead of hifonics...

Hifonics Is over rated by 400 Rms watts!?!?! where did u get thoes calculations? When i made this post many others were reccomending the BXi 1206D for 700 Rms @ 2ohms its rated at 900.

haha yea me 2. thanx for the help though man but i was gonna say i thought u were a little confused. but the kicker amp seems like a pretty good deal its 750Rms rated. but is it alot better in quality than the Bxi 1206D or Bxi 1606D? Enough of a difference in quality to Sacrafice The Extra Watts of The BXi's? And how the Warranty Of the kicker?

i'm not sure about the warrenty..

but if you got the 1606, that would put out more than the kicker 750.1...

1206D and 750.1 are pretty close in rated rms -- kicker i would choose, because of durability :-)

nice but idk if i can justify spending more for that many less watts. Am i likely to blow 2 Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1's with a BXi 1606D? There both single coil 4 ohms so a 2 ohm load. the subs are rated at 350 each and the amp is rated at 1100 rms but i hear it only puts out 900 Rms. but wouldnt the amps signal be very clean going to the subs making them less likely to blow? i just dont want to like crank it up and then blow my subs so idk maby i should get the BXi 1206D

its up to you, just keep your gain a lil below what it should be set at, and you will be fine.

but i have never seen an actual bench sheet on that hifoics one... so it could do 1100 watts or 1000 meaning you would potetially blow your subs :-(

those infinity's can't handle too much power, they tend to blow if you overpower them a lil hehe... that rockford is good, underrated so it will do around 800w... and yeah the kicker will have better durability, that's an amp that you know you're going to die and leave it to your son hahahha lol!

Marcus that orion is brand new???

"Rick Ross" why would you recommend:

http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-BRUTUS-BXI-1206D-1200W-AMPLIFIER-BXI1206D-NEW_W0QQi temZ180016999263QQihZ008QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

for a 1200 watt hifonics refurb, when the sell is selling the 1600 watt bxi1606d for $1.51 more:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item%3D180019689980&ssPageName=M ERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=180016999263&itemcount=4&refwidgetlo c=closed_view_item&usedrule1=CategoryProximity&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget

$252.45 - 250.94 = $1.51 (I would have been pissed if I bought a REFURB amp thats 400 watts less just to save six quarters!)
