i have heard massive audio p1000, and hifonics? , but i need an amp that will push my subs better than a lanzar vibe 286, this amp pushes them good but i believe they can handle way more

massive audio is good, but is not better than sundown. You need 1000w rms at 1 ohm. You won't notice much difference from that vibe cuz it puts around 800-1000w rms bridged.

i dont know much about wiring, but i do not have my amp bridged. And i do not belive this amp is putting out 800-1000w rms. How should i wire my subs with this amp? And if i got a sundown, or a massive audio amp, how much better than the vibe would these amps be? and how would i see 1 ohm with these 4 ohm subs? (new at this, thanks for the help)

Wire everything in parallel all + to + and - to -. With two DVC 4 ohm subs that will result in a 1 ohm total.

ok thanks, is getting this massive audio p1000 a good upgrade from the lazar? i want my subs to be louder and have cleaner power supplied to them, so is this a good choice?

You shouldn't hear a difference from changing amplifiers when they're that close in power output. Amps are supposed to be transparent, a watt is a watt.

The difference is the quality of the equipment, which the Massive is much better than that lanzar.

ya, i bought the amp when i knew very litle about amps, i just saw 4000watts! lol,

but i got one more question, i have one sub moving more than the other, but when i switch the subs to the opposite channel, the other sub moves less. i think one channel is not putting out euqual power, is this true, or is it becuase of the way my subs are wired?

It is probably the amp, thats my guess.

That's really all I can say without actually being there.

i think its the amp not distributing equal power

One last question, i cant decide between the Massive audio p1000.1 or the Hifonics bxi1206. the hifonics puts out 1200w rms and the massive audio puts out 1000w rms, is there much of a difference, and which amp would you pick?

Massive, difference is just quality cuz they will put almost the same power.

About the lanzar, it puts like 800-1000w rms bridged. if you need help with wiring, go to www.the12volt.com woofer wiring and you're done

" the hifonics puts out 1200w rms "

Nope it doesn't they are overrated. That amp will do 900-1000 watts. And the Massive is better quality.
