Silver Member Username: Zacdavis~Post Number: 337 Registered: Sep-04 | both are good. crossfire's primary feild of expertise is amplifiers, as woofer and speaker is to adire. personally i like the brahmas over the xfire. and the brahmas will handle 3000rms watt burps each. or more depending on a few factors that include the frequency youd be playing among many others, but ya, they will do the job  here is another brand to look into, look for the closest dealer and if its to far, let me know, i will give you a direct phone number, name and reference from me. these in my, and many spl champions opinion, are the best money can buy. http://www.ddaudio.com/dd/default.asp |

Silver Member Username: Zacdavis~Post Number: 341 Registered: Sep-04 | the brahma is a better sub that the xfire, but the DD9900's takes the cake. check them out as far as power, it depends on what your tryin to do, i dont really know what kind of sound your loooking for, type of car, or ballpark db range? |

Bronze Member Username: SuicideshifterBristolville, Ohio United States Post Number: 61 Registered: Jul-04 | in comparison, how much better will the brahmas be than the crossfire 2's? any recomended amps for two brahmas? |

Silver Member Username: Zacdavis~Post Number: 344 Registered: Sep-04 | SPL z1x3000d does 2300rms at 1ohm, can be bought for around 300 bucks. |

Bronze Member Username: SuicideshifterBristolville, Ohio United States Post Number: 62 Registered: Jul-04 | will that power both subs enough |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 2779 Registered: May-04 | Brahmas are dual two ohm subs, so you'll need a mono amp that develops the amount of power you want on a 2 ohm load, or two seperate amps that develop their power at either 1 or 4 ohm. It depends a lot on which enclosure you use, the Brahma owners manual gives a chart of power recommendations for the enclosure you plan to run, usually 800-900W RMS works well. It ain't gonna be cheap though, how much can you spend? |

Bronze Member Username: Bassfreak596Post Number: 52 Registered: Oct-04 | i owned a brahma n i fed it with 600w rms.. the subs did well but now i m up with an eclipse. u think the brahmas were hungry for more power ? did i underpower them ? |

Bronze Member Username: SuicideshifterBristolville, Ohio United States Post Number: 64 Registered: Jul-04 | i'm thinking maybe around 1600 bucks |
|
Bronze Member Username: SuicideshifterBristolville, Ohio United States Post Number: 65 Registered: Jul-04 | what's ur opinion on the crossfire 2's and 3's? will the brahma be much better than them? |
|
Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 2793 Registered: May-04 | Honestly I haven't dealt with a lot of Crossfire's stuff, so I can't go into that. Personally I'd give the Brahma around 750-800W RMS, depending on enclosure, an MTX 1501D would be a great amp and not horribly costly. |

Bronze Member Username: SuicideshifterBristolville, Ohio United States Post Number: 70 Registered: Jul-04 | what kind and size of box? |
|
Bronze Member Username: SuicideshifterBristolville, Ohio United States Post Number: 72 Registered: Jul-04 | would i run that parallel jonathan? is that amp going to be enough power to 2 of them? |
|
Bronze Member Username: SuicideshifterBristolville, Ohio United States Post Number: 74 Registered: Jul-04 | ??? |
|
Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 2803 Registered: May-04 | You'd wire the subs coils in series, then both the subs parallel to the amp for a 2 ohm load. |
|
Bronze Member Username: SuicideshifterBristolville, Ohio United States Post Number: 76 Registered: Jul-04 | alright, thanks |
|
Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 2822 Registered: May-04 | BTW, around 750-800 works best with sealed enclosures. Adire's website gives you an idea of how much power is needed with certain enclosures. |
