Silver Member Username: John_washNashville, Tennessee Post Number: 459 Registered: Dec-05 | yea because you get a "3 year" warrenty. |
|
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 596 Registered: Jan-06 | definatly worth it |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 103 Registered: Mar-06 | 3 year warrantee! didnt know that, you think a new hifonics brutus would BXI 1606 D would work well enough to power 2 of those? ive neard the new hifonics amps are pretty accurate |

Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 104 Registered: Mar-06 | rms wise i mean |
|
Silver Member Username: John_washNashville, Tennessee Post Number: 462 Registered: Dec-05 | well yea you could but if you are getting quality subs why not go ahead and get a quality amp. |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 107 Registered: Mar-06 | ill tell you why.....money, im no rich man thats for sure, and im sure i should be spendin money on somethin else, but theres no fun in that..lol |
|
Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 501 Registered: Jun-04 | why hate on the new hifonics? those have proven to be much better then their previous years .. and are much more efficient and true to their power ratings |
|
Silver Member Username: John_washNashville, Tennessee Post Number: 463 Registered: Dec-05 | o word up. well thanx 4 the info Mike. I was always told they were overrated but i guess the new line is different. Well in that case go for it Grebnereon. |
|
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 598 Registered: Jan-06 | im pretty sure the new line only does 91% of rated power and that is at 14.4volts so it still isnt that impressive. i would look on different auidofourms for a used amp |
|
Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 503 Registered: Jun-04 | i tested a 1206 and a 1606 ... 1206 produced 1140 1606 produced 1490 |
|
Silver Member Username: RiskybPost Number: 103 Registered: Feb-06 | They do that much at what voltage? |
|
Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 504 Registered: Jun-04 | 14.4 |
|
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 600 Registered: Jan-06 | hmm well still unless you have an HO alt you arnt going to see those numbers out of those amps |
|
Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 505 Registered: Jun-04 | ur right mat ... i agree 100 percent wit that statement |

Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 109 Registered: Mar-06 | how about maybe a soundstream PCA1500D? http://cgi.ebay.com/Soundstream-Picasso-PCA1500D-Subwoofer-Amplifier-1500W_W0QQi temZ140020347565QQihZ004QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 110 Registered: Mar-06 | it looks nice thats for sure, but how does it perform? |
|
Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 510 Registered: Jun-04 | new soundstream isnt what it used to be my man .. whatsoever kicker sx1250...zx1500...kx1200 ... all better all can be found for around the price of that soundstream .. used ... if u look hard enough u might find a new one jbl bp1200.1 - if u can find it its a beast depending on the impedance of the cvx if u got that an mtx1501d would be good ... not for the aresenal however orion 1200d all good budget amps ... it just takes some time to find which one suits u ... but due to the fact that u dont have electrical upgrades u might have some problems getting full power out of them |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 112 Registered: Mar-06 | well im going to have electrical upgrades, i hope, i emailed excessive amperage to get a quote on an alt , that was about a week and a half ago and i never got an answer....but im planning on getting atleast a 200 amp one and i just got a new battery 2 weeks ago |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 1390 Registered: Feb-06 | i'd go with the kicker 1200.1 ($360 brand new) or ed nine.1 ($315 brand new), or maybe try the new sundown 1500.1 ($450). or a pair of kicker 750.1 or nine.1's would be nice. |
|
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 114 Registered: Mar-06 | but i need an amp that can atleast do 1500 rms, unless kicker is just really overrated or something, the 1200.1 wont really work will it? what the ed nine.1 run rms @ i ohm? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 1392 Registered: Feb-06 | my kicker 1200.1 says 1490rms @ 1ohm on the birth sheet. the ed is 1200 @ 1ohm @ 12v, on their forum though everyone says they bench between 1400-1500wrms @ 14.4v. i have 2 arsenals, haven't even used them yet, but when i do i'm going to run each with a ed @ 2ohm, chad at ed said they'll each take the 900wrms nicely. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 1393 Registered: Feb-06 | depending where you live i might be willing to sell my arsenals, 12". never used, still in original shipping package. if interested. |

|
Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 511 Registered: Jun-04 | rob swingleman that amp does not put out that power .... there was about a 150 post thread on it .. id say strapped together they might do a 1000 maybe if the electrical system was done correctly ... mike why u selling ur aresenals? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 1399 Registered: Feb-06 | they were meant for my new car, was actually going with maybe 4 of them, but can't afford a new car for a little longer so i'm selling off all my car audio, except for my kx1200.1 and one type r. being a single father kinda sucks when it comes to stuff for myself |
