Bronze Member Username: TonybonesPost Number: 74 Registered: Nov-05 | Well I might as well buy the Audiobahn A18001DT 1800rms at 1 ohm then.I can get if for $398 including shipping and handling or I hope cheaper else where.That is the amp I heard the kickers on but, the guy will not sell it cuz he said he paid 500 some dollars for it.I kept trying to make deals with him last night.I said 400 for everything.He wouldn't accept. |

Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 278 Registered: Aug-05 | Since youre only trying to push 2 500 rms Subs any of those Hifonics Amps out of the 4 you named will do the job so just get what you can afford |
|
Bronze Member Username: TonybonesPost Number: 77 Registered: Nov-05 | Thanx Caddi.The way I see it is that...the more rms the amp put out at 1 ohm to the 03cvr15-2ohm, the harder it will pound.That A18001DT pounded the sh!t out of them subs and whatever amp I choose, I want it to pound just like that amp did. |

Gold Member Username: Mikechec9Http://www.cardomain.c... Post Number: 1758 Registered: May-05 | http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/2668 if loot is an issue, you can't beat it for the price. far superior to the hifonics (and peep the xo slope). i'd buy it just to have on stash, actually. "The way I see it is that...the more rms the amp put out at 1 ohm to the 03cvr15-2ohm, the harder it will pound." and you'll eventually pound that poor voice coil into crisp or your suspension will rip apart. i wouldn't give a driver more than 50% over rms. just for the scared straight effect, "this is your vc on drugs": http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Various/coilburn.1.wmv "any questions?" not quite as effective a drug deterrent as "requiem for a dream" (movie), but a deterent none-the-less |

Bronze Member Username: TonybonesPost Number: 78 Registered: Nov-05 | Damn mikechec I wasn't even thinking about that...good look on the thought though.I am going to get BX2005D. |

Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 286 Registered: Aug-05 | given more rms just gives you headroom which means that if you gave them 1000 rms they would sound louder when the stereos volume was turned all the way up where as if you gave them 2000 rms they woul still sound loud without haven to crank the volume all the way up |
|
Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 287 Registered: Aug-05 | Didnt you say one of those kicker subs already had a odd sound coming from it ?.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TonybonesPost Number: 79 Registered: Nov-05 | Yea...When the volume is down low the left kicker has a humming bass sound steady coming from it but, when you start turning up the volume it decreases and the speakers sounds normal.It still plays like it suppose to though. |

Bronze Member Username: Kwrubel21Shelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 36 Registered: Dec-05 | does anybody know the exact rms rating at 1ohm for the bx2005? |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 2924 Registered: Jul-05 | there diffrent but around, 1400 rms |
|
Gold Member Username: Mikechec9Http://www.cardomain.c... Post Number: 1767 Registered: May-05 | use ratio and proportion. the % difference should be the same. |
|
Gold Member Username: Mikechec9Http://www.cardomain.c... Post Number: 1768 Registered: May-05 | so, about: 1800 watts at 14.4 volts 1300 watts at 13.0 volts |
