AQ>Hifonics!! I opened up one of these BX2610 amps the other day and new I had seen that layout before but I couldn't pin point it. Just thought it was interesting. |

I was making that same choice last year, and went with the AQ. Havent had any issues with it running it at 1 ohm for hours at a time. |

Silver Member Username: AlonzoubPost Number: 299 Registered: Apr-10 | Yea I actually failed to mention, I found this out about a year ago as-well when I was deciding between an AQ2200D and Hifonics BRZ1700... the BRZ1700 claims 1200 wrms @ 2-ohm which is the spec I was looking at at the time and the BRZ1700 is just the upgraded BXi1610. Ive actually read that the BXi1610 is comparable in output with the AQ1200 whle the BXi2610 is comparable to the AQ2200. I chose the AQ and haven't regretted it. |
