Choices choices. TI amps or Xenon?

I have the opportunity to get some Ti amps, or some xenons. The Ti's will run me a bit more money however. Are they a better enough amp over the Xenons to warrant a larger price? Or would I be just as satisfied with the Xenons instead?

Welcome to the phorum!

I have used both in the past. am currently using the Xenon series in my system. Honestly I can't tell a difference sound wise. I previously was using a Ti 1000.2 for subs and a Ti 600.2 for my fronts. Now I am using an x1200.1 for subs and an x200.2 for my fronts. The biggest difference I can see is that my electrical system likes me better now since the big xenon is a class D amp and the big Ti was an A/B amp.

Like I say, soundwise I can't tell a difference. They are both very good amps quality wise, so I say go with whichever you like the best.

Very good to know. Thanks for the response! Either way I imagine I'll be hanging out here a bit more often!

The Xenon's had a manufacturing problem with the first run. Thew problem show up when you use them. I wouldn't buy a new in box Xenon, I would prefer used Xenon for that reason.

The normal TI cases have rust issues.

i'm a big fan of the xenon's but you can't go wrong either way, they are both fan cooled, and both make an obscene amount of power
