New member Username: Bdb886Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | I was kinda lookin into the hifonics brutus 1206d, but i'm still not sure. I want the subs to really pound but I also want to hold onto as much sql as I can. Im tryin to keep it under $250. Any help would be great. |

New member Username: Bdb886Post Number: 4 Registered: Apr-06 | I realize the L7's are an SPL sub but that doesn't mean that I should completely disregaurd SQL. You don't go out and buy a high end pair of subs and throw them in a cheapa$$ homeade box because they "aren't supposed to be for SQL." I don't expect them to even come close to the W7 category SQL but with the right box and amp they will have a good SQL. They are the 2005 model with dual 4-ohm voice coils. |

Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 456 Registered: Dec-05 | that's an overrated amp and will never put those numbers, however i can tell you about optidrive amps, what's the voice coil config on your subs, so i can tell you some amps |

New member Username: Bdb886Post Number: 9 Registered: Apr-06 | Those amps sound great but are way over my budget, any other a little less expensive? Is the Hifonics Brutus any good? |

Bronze Member Username: Bdb886Post Number: 16 Registered: Apr-06 | I do have a Power Acoustik LT1920 amp left over from a different system. Could I use this or would I be WAY underpowering the subs??? |

Bronze Member Username: JohammbassCork, Cork Ireland Post Number: 28 Registered: May-06 | BTW, W7 does not have much better SQL then your L7's. If you go with a mono block expect it to sound very uncontrolled and with minimum SQL. Ideally you should get a 2ch and bridge it, BUT you dual 4's would require a beast, since you can't wire them into a 2ohm load together so you would wire them into a 4ohm summary load that would require a massive amp. Well, I guess you could go with a 4ch and bridge it to 2xmono and run the L7's separately. Each wired in paralel so 2x2ohm load. I don't think you will be able to get nice amp for those 2 with $250. |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 868 Registered: Apr-05 | Maris, are you positive you know what you are talking about??? There is a tremendous difference in SQ in a W7 over a L7, really. And what is wrong with a mono amp anyway? That is what they mono amps were meant to do, power subwoofers. Idealy, he would look for a 1-ohm stable mono amp, like everyone has been suggesting. And definately don't get a 4-channel amp, that is just foolish. |

Bronze Member Username: JohammbassCork, Cork Ireland Post Number: 32 Registered: May-06 | Isaac, Yes I do know what I am talking about  A class D amp is very boomy, if we are talking SQL - subs must be powered with AB class amp. AND mono (class D) amps were designed with one point - they are more efficiant, so less current is used up for the same amount of "juice". Oh, right and the best thing is to take that mono block down to 1ohm so there is absolutely no SQL. Damping and S/N will be terrible. A factory modified (to run full power at 4ohm bridged) ZAPCO C2K 6.0 could do the job - 1200 real Watts at 4ohm mono. But yeah it would cost a little too much. And BTW, you could do it with a 4ch without a problem (2xmono). |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 869 Registered: Apr-05 | He is talking about powering 2 L7's for christ's sake. All he needs is raw power, because there is not much you are going to do to make a L7 sound better as he already said he realized. Unless he spends a ton to make a VERY good box. Plus look at his price range. Otherwise, I am very sure that there is no way that you could tell the difference if his subs were powered by a mono amp running @ 1-ohm or a class AB amp. |

Bronze Member Username: JohammbassCork, Cork Ireland Post Number: 34 Registered: May-06 | Sorry you are right, the price range is an issue and L7 is and will be L7. Well I guess some of the new crapy PPI's could cut it or some MBQ mono block |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bdb886Post Number: 17 Registered: Apr-06 | Thanks guys for your input. I would probably agree with isaac on this one. A 1 ohm stable mono would probably be the easiest and cheapest. Any input on the power acoustic, I am also looking at a hifonics brutus or something of that sort, any commments or suggestions?? |
|
Bronze Member Username: JohammbassCork, Cork Ireland Post Number: 45 Registered: May-06 | Hifonics used to be good, I haven't used their new stuff. You could try it, prob better than power acoustic. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 876 Registered: Apr-05 | I would definately go with Hifonics over Power Akoustic. Go for it, it will work fine for your setup, hope everything goes well for you bro! |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bdb886Post Number: 18 Registered: Apr-06 | Ya i will definitly be going with the hifonics, thanks for the input everyone on that. New question - Ported or sealed - I listen to everything. I want it loud, But i heard its alot easier to blow the subs when ported because there is less resistance. I listen to alot of alternative rock and rap. Let me know what you think. |
