Silver Member Username: Zero43Fort gordon, Georgia USA Post Number: 245 Registered: May-05 | I'm looking for an amp that does at least 1000rms at 2 ohms 800 min if can do 1000 or more at 1ohm. The problem is I'm on a limited budget I have to stay under 180. So far I've seen crunch, autotek (at2000.1 off the top of my head), soundtream (the cruiser line so far) , a us amp xterminator, hifonics (an older brutus model). The only thing is I have had no experience with any of the brands and looking at their power ratings it just doesn't seem to me like they'd do the rated power... Any suggestions. I'm about to get a power and punch 800a2 for $50 each. I could run those but I am unsure about running them on two seperate subs if that'd affect the sound quality so.. if anyone wants to trade for those two amps I'm all for it.. |

Silver Member Username: Zero43Fort gordon, Georgia USA Post Number: 247 Registered: May-05 | I'm not looking for anything that amazing just something that I can use on these american bass dx 10s and then use on the idmax 10s that i'll be getting The amp can be overrated as long as i get the power I'm looking for.and have some sort of longevity to them |

Bronze Member Username: Rvpr4Ontario Canada Post Number: 23 Registered: Jun-09 | Kicker ZX1000.1. Puts out 1000 watts RMS @ 2 ohms. Thats a decent amp. Don't waste your money on Crunch or any of those shitty brands. Not worth it in the long run. |

Bronze Member Username: Lance86Winnemucca , Nevada Us Post Number: 28 Registered: Aug-08 | uhhhh....the best thing that I could find was a Hifonics TXi1008D 1-Channel @ techronics 1000rms @ 1ohm and they want 188 +shipping..If you can afford it it will get you by. dont gt crunch or any of those....they are cr@p |

Silver Member Username: Zero43Fort campbell, Ky USA Post Number: 249 Registered: May-05 | so out of all those companies hifonics would be the way to go? |

Bronze Member Username: Lance86Winnemucca , Nevada Us Post Number: 31 Registered: Aug-08 | IMO I would go with the hifonics on a budget....they will get the job done till you can upgrade to a better quality amp |

New member Username: ProfessorbaseTX USA Post Number: 7 Registered: Aug-09 | I guess I'm old school....Orion hcca 225 and hcca 250. but at a 1 ohm load in stereo and 2 in mono. serious power. upgrade the alternator and add an extra deep cycle battery. Those other brands..Crunch, Hifonics, Rockford Fosgate..they used to be the standard minus Crunch.. compare a 50 watt HCCA Orion against a 500 watt anything...what's missing. Size of the heatsink..and actual power. Now days everything is digital this and digital that.. Pro... is less heat and lots of power...cons..mmmm don't own a digital amp NOTE: Don't count out PPI (precision power) They used to make some awesome amps..especially the white pro series. also stable to low OHM loads |

Silver Member Username: Zero43Fort campbell, Ky USA Post Number: 254 Registered: May-05 | I'm not looking for anything extravagant just clean power. I have a hifionics brutus on hold right now one of the 1600 series i think an 06 model. I really do wish someone would regulate how amps are rated I mean hell if they say it'll do this much and it doesn't wouldn't that be false advertisement... |

Bronze Member Username: Lance86Winnemucca , Nevada Us Post Number: 32 Registered: Aug-08 | yes it would and it is false advertisement but since they say 1600w max with your battery and wiring infinitly perfect it would probably do 1600w maxed out. but in the real world everything is far from perfect.....only look at amps that are rated at rms value not max power...you can tell the quality from the cr@p if you pay attention. I have a hifonics 1610 on one pioneer premier 1000w rms sub and it does just fine. I have beat the crap out of it and it keeps on kickin |
