Silver Member Username: Alexv305Tavernier, FL USA Post Number: 291 Registered: Oct-05 | in some cases youll need a capacitor...ALT stands for alternator and you may not need one depending on your vehicles charging system. i also would pick hifonics over audiobahn anyday.. :: aLeX :: |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2700 Registered: Oct-05 | CVX's hands down IMO. i would pick audiobahn amps over hifo. because they are not as overrated and you dont have to "guess" on their intake series wattage |

Silver Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 834 Registered: Mar-06 | or yeah, audioahn sucks, hifonics is better, easier on the charing system and they dont get hot and overheat |

Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 335 Registered: Jan-06 | sorry but what is IMO .. Thanks |

Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 505 Registered: Jan-06 | in my opinion never used hifonics but the auidiobahn intake series are there only decent amps and good if your on a budget but thats its. |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2704 Registered: Oct-05 | audiobahn instake series amp are the best budegt amps out there that ACTUALLY put out there power. i have never seen one hifonics amp come within 250 watts within what they say they do. hifonics does get VERY hot, and they are great budget amps also, but i am simply going by A BETTER MADE AMP, hifonics lies, as audiobahn (intake series) doesnt. like i said, i have never seen a hifo. put out itz rated power. never easier on the chargin system?? WTF u talkin about????? chagin system has to do with how much it is tryin to run so it can sustain a steady volage. Just because you have a hifo amp doesnt mean that ur chargin system is going to be better. its still gonna drop below 13 most likely if runnin that hifo BXi1606D amp. If i was talkin bout the A8002t VS the Hifo BXi1606D ---- LOL, hifo will be worse on ur chargin system. |

Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 336 Registered: Jan-06 | i liked Hifo more than Audiobahn . I saw audiobahn always getting Hot |
|
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 337 Registered: Jan-06 | so with 4 pioneer what audiobahn should i buy ?? its 400RMS each .. A8002T is 800@2 .. |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 8661 Registered: Jul-05 | from where u r located it would difficult/expensive 4 u 2 get a ho alt i suggest u go with less power - maybe 2 pioneer or just 1 cvx so u wont need 2 upgrade ur electrical ... |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2706 Registered: Oct-05 | ^^ definently. the only audiobahn amps i would EVEN consider gettin would be the intake series amps. the a2002t, a400t's, a8000t's. they all put out their power, and they do get hot, but i have yet to see one actually go into protection, unless it was wired wrong  The highter up INTAKE amps like the A16000V, wont do 1600 watts because its a class A/B amp, lol. i dont know why they would do that, but they jus do. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2707 Registered: Oct-05 | no, i dont like that amp. the INTAKE SERIES AMPs. |
|
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 339 Registered: Jan-06 | Rovin . does A800T audiobahn amp and pair pioneer 306 would be loud ?? |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 8662 Registered: Jul-05 | never used that combo b4 but this guy is about to https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/252730.html he has sent me a few PMs - maybe if ur willing until he does his u will know 4 sure but i expect it 2 sound good ...... |

|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2711 Registered: Oct-05 | same amp, just newer model fomr the a8000t |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1377 Registered: Dec-05 | ASAP read this, those pioneer will get pretty loud with lil power, but they lack of SQ, a friend has those subs with an autotek 700w rms at 12 volts, that thing is loud, but with the gain matched to the HU, the thing sounds loud when the volume is at 30 and the radio goes to 70 i think, but at 30 the subs misses a lot of notes, i don't think is a good sub, but for the money, ONLY A CVR IS BETTER. Another thing, hifonics is better than audiobahn, hifonics gets hot cuz, IS AN AMP GUYS JEJE. Audiobahn a8002t a8000t are very, very reliable, if you need 800w rms that would be my call, but when you need over 1000w rms, consider hifonics cuz audiobum high-end stuff, tends to blow. |

Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 342 Registered: Jan-06 | thanks Juliob i have now alot of choices : A8000T and pair of pioneer A8000T and pair of cvr's Hifonics 1600 and four pioneer . Hifonics 1600 and pair cvx . But for Hifonics amp , i 'll need an alt . untill now i don't know what does Capacitor's job ? thanks |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1389 Registered: Dec-05 | www.wickedcases.com you'll learn a lot there. Best setup would be the a8000t and the CVRs. |

Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 768 Registered: Aug-05 | All Audiobahns do there rated power but if you wanted somthing with more power you would have to go for the HCT series from Audiobahn and those amps get too pricey per watt so hifonics beats them on price per watt when you get into Higher RMS needs but if you only need somthing from the intake series then i would choose audiobahn over hifonics but even if i wanted lots of RMS and my options where only Audiobahn or hifonics i would still choose Audiobahn because ive seen bench test on a few and they hit there mark where as the hifonics ive seen bench test on dont hit there mark |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1476 Registered: Dec-05 | that's a fact, but audiobahn tends to blow, i've seen many reviews with the same thing (after 3 days i blew my amp) and that's sad. I prefer a good quality and less watts, also cheaper, than audiobahn (expensive, risky, more power...) |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2775 Registered: Oct-05 | i have seen many bahn amps and hifo, and i would take audiobahn too. i would rather have an amp that will give you the rms rating than an amp that will be overrated 3-500. yes they do get hot, but they dont overheat, at least the 5 that i have seen ran for a while now. yes, hifo does run a lil better, but IMO, if you know how to use an amp, and how to set it correctly, nothing should go wrong with a bahn amp. the poeple who are blowin them have their gain set 4v when their HU is 2-2.5 |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1482 Registered: Dec-05 | "the poeple who are blowin them have their gain set 4v when their HU is 2-2.5" that's true hahaha, but i'd pick hifonics, cheaper, runs better, less watts but for the price you can't argue. Although audiobahn has a lot of cooling fans, that's nice but they're too expensive... |

Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 343 Registered: Jan-06 | thanks guys , But there is an important thing . I'll pay over 100$ to ship the amplifier to JORDAN .ASIA .. SO it will cost me about 350$ for an amplifier which doessn't cost you 240$ or something like that . So i don't want to buy one and lose everything . I'll damage my ALL audio system if this happend . you don't know guys how much i tried to find someone can ship International .. i'm watting for 3 months .. I don't want any risks , |
|
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 344 Registered: Jan-06 | Listen guys , Personally i hate Audiobahn , And i was thinking about kx1200.1 But if i bought it for 370$ . and 140$ shipping it will be over my budget and its really too expensive for it . I want 800-1000 RMS amplifier . But it should desire every $$ . cuz i'll pay more for it , And i don't want to be in risk . this ebay store will ship to me . http://stores.ebay.com/NATIONAL-AUDIO-CENTER_Mono-2-Ch-Amp_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQ fsubZ3QQftidZ2QQtZkm ANY OPINIONS |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1492 Registered: Dec-05 | A8000T and pair of cvr's that's your best bet... also the pioneer can bang for the buck. I understand what you're passing through, cuz i live in DR (no int. shipping or very hard) so you must do it well, that's my call... a8000t and pair of cvr's |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2795 Registered: Oct-05 | lol, night, you have to look at what you need, and not just because you hate a brand name. audiobahn is not a god brand name, but you need to look at the range of watts that ur lookin at, and for 800-100-, audiobahn a8000t is your best bet that will PUT OUT the rms numbers, and give you good performance. if anything, i would go with (2) CVX's (4 0hm) and a memphis 1500, |
|
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 345 Registered: Jan-06 | Juliob : maybe that will be my Choice . Bassman : Memphis 1500 and pair cvx's is soo good but how much i 'll pay for it . amp : 450$ PLUS 140$ shipping (2) cvx 12" 290$ + 200$ shipping . i will not put the total .. hehehe . thanks all of u . i entered this Forum just to know what should i buy and i found somethings we never ever heared about it in Jordan , We just have pioneers speakers 6*9 and kenwood subwoofers . And if you heared about this brand of amplifiers Boshman .. its sucks , its really sucks . And also you can find here in Jordan alot of people wiring sub's and speakers in to the same amplifier , And maybe the same Chanel . i learned alot here From Rovin , Bassman , Juliob , Cadellac , Chauncey , POLO , B , and alot alot of you but i do n't remember more names . Thanks alot guys . |

Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 346 Registered: Jan-06 | ops i forgot .. is there a dif between A8000V and A8000T .. or just newer model .. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2801 Registered: Oct-05 | justy newer model the a8000v is. i know you wouldn't be able to afford the CVX's and the memphis amp. i mentioned the CVX's because you mentioned them so i thought you could afford them. The memphis amp and those sub would sound insane. but you could get the CVR's (DVC 2 ohm) and a A8000t or a8000V |
|
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 347 Registered: Jan-06 | I know CVX's will be AMAZING and if i live in USA i'll buy them , But I can n't . Maybe i'll visit US but after 8 months . i'll tell later . hahaay |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1494 Registered: Dec-05 | hahha, that's reality bro... Yeah, you can play safe with a8000v, very reliable amp. I hope you enjoy it, try doing bets with your friends and rip them off with your new system hahahah |
