Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1226 Registered: Apr-05 | I think that is a good choice. I am guessing you need 800 wrms @ 2 ohms? |

Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1237 Registered: Apr-05 | Look for a Kicker ZX750.1 on ebay. You could probably get one for under 250 shipped. If that is too much for you, get an Audiobahn A8000T. Can be had for under 150 on ebay. I thoruoughly redommend getting the Kicker though, becuase it is a much better quality built amp than the Audiobahn. |

Bronze Member Username: SpidercoderPalm Harbor, Florida USA Post Number: 98 Registered: Aug-06 | Your best bet is to get a little paitence i know its hard and save another 150.00 bucks or so and buy a good amp It will be worth it in the long run. Amps arent going anywhere. I know its easier said than done trust me I know. If you had just a litlle mor money so many other doors would open for you. best of Luck. The thing is if you buy a cheap amp now you wont be happy and you cant any money for a used cheap amp. So whenyou go to resell that audionbahn your gonna lose big time. |

Post Number: 2206 Registered: Dec-05 | mr PHD.. the best guy when it comes to budget amps^^^^ hehe i'll tell you a few 1-lanzar vibe 1200d/1800d 2-Power acoustik a1000db 3-hifonics 1206d 4-Soundstream PIC 1400.1d 5-directed audio D2400 they're all very very cheap and good for the money |
|
Silver Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 197 Registered: Aug-06 | so pheonix gold isint a good brand then? cuz i almost had a 15.0:1 for a good deal but it fell through. also i hear that the Hifonics 1206d will only put out 700rms at 2 ohms is this true? |
|
Silver Member Username: SpidercoderPalm Harbor, Florida USA Post Number: 101 Registered: Aug-06 | I would save my money if I were you. Just my opinion though I know its hard. i have no exp with the PG amps. If you need to just try one and see how you like it. You know its never gonna be loud enough though right. LOL Good Luck with whatever you decide to do. Dan |

New member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 7 Registered: Sep-06 | I didn't say Pheonix Gold was know good never had any PG products. I said don't buy AUDIOBAHN why would a manufacture make a amp with chrome don't they know chrome holds heat. And heat causes destortion not what you want to see on a amp. |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 5647 Registered: Nov-04 | Hey IsaacW, Xtant used to be very good in the past, but I am sure you know this already, MTX bought them out. Their older amps are still excellent. In fact I have one. |
|
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 4121 Registered: Aug-04 | And they are still cheap for some reason! |
|
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 767 Registered: Jan-06 | PG amps are good. the older the better. with the new octain line i havnt hrd anything bad but just the older amps are built stronger. id definatly take it over the audiobahn |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2212 Registered: Dec-05 | they're all good^^^^^he's a PG owner |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1244 Registered: Apr-05 | Isaac, they got bought out by MTX but I don't think that their quality went down all that much. I still think they are currently some of the best amps that you can buy. And obviously they used to be hand made in the US. But honestly, what is anymore? Anything amp that is handmade these days is going to cost you a shit ton. |

|
Bronze Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 21 Registered: Sep-06 | Mendon Mafia if you havn't got a amp yet go to SONICELECTRONIX and get the rockford fosgate POWER T3002 $229.99 +shipping it rated at 300RMS but when I got mine the birthsheet says 827RMS no BS I'm slamming the hell out of my kicker solo baric 15" 750RMS. |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 8896 Registered: Jul-05 | lol...^^^and thats the reason i dont like RF...they test the amp....they no its a 800 watt amp...but they slap a 300rms sticker on it so people think they are getting over...makes me sick |
|
Bronze Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 22 Registered: Sep-06 | Oh yeah the rockford T3002 is not a budget amp it is a great amp if any body tell you different they don't know what they are talking about. If you don't belive me call rockford fosgate. 1-800-366-2349 |
|
Bronze Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 23 Registered: Sep-06 | Chauncey why don't you like rockford. |

Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 307 Registered: Apr-06 | Rockford amps make great paperweights  hifonics tx1005D puts out 700 or so @ 2 ohms. I don't care what anyone says, I have one pushing 2 15" Eclipse Aluminum 88150.4 which are rated at 500wrms/1000wmax per sub and they (((POUND))) like crazy.. could be louder, don't get me wrong.. but they hit pretty hard |
|
Bronze Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 29 Registered: Sep-06 | Rockford Fosgate punch amps are better than hifonic titan. how much did you pay for that amp. Sooner than later your voice coil are going to fry. And them eclipse aluminum don't come cheap. I would get a different amp very quickly. And theres know way that amp pushes 700RMS maybe PEAK if that true your in a world of troble. The titan is there entry level amp oh may bad everything hifonics is entry level no matter how much they cost. You don't want to put a entry level amp on on those bad azz woofers. |
|
Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 310 Registered: Apr-06 | I've had this amp for almost a year now, it's seen 3 different set of subs and I'm going to have to disagree with you when you say it'll blow my voice coils.. Eclipse recommends 500rms per speaker for best performance.. that doesn't mean I need 500 to each sub or else they'll fry. I know what I'm talking about, why do people always try to "teach" me the same thing? and why am I the only guy that has never had a problem with Hifonics, and has owned the same amp for a year with no trouble? Anyways, they came easy so if they blow I'll be here looking for a new recommendation, however, they won't blow.. they are extremely efficient woofers and according to a couple of people here they are extremely well built. I've got nothing to worry about. Last note, I have been looking for another amp, but only because I want to go louder (by louder, I mean I want to knock things off of the shelfs at the grochery store when I pull up next to it). Joey DeSalvo, which hifonics amp(s) have you or do you currently own? |
|
Silver Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 198 Registered: Aug-06 | so should i get the mtx then or pheonix gold or hifonics or what i cant quite afford the kicker and i dont want to even if i could because i have a goal to spend no more than 500 totaland ill i need is the amp and i got 250 left TOTAL thats it and i need at least 700 rms but iwant 800 if possible. |
|
Bronze Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 32 Registered: Sep-06 | What MTX amp are you talking about. |
|
Silver Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 199 Registered: Aug-06 | thats reall hard to beleive that the rockford t3002 really puts out that many watts thats just incredably under rated can any one else confirm this |
|
Silver Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 200 Registered: Aug-06 | i meant to say rockford idk what im talking about disregard the mtx |
|
Silver Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 201 Registered: Aug-06 | o and power acoustik |
|
Bronze Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 36 Registered: Sep-06 | How often do you see a 300 watt RMS amplifier that has 2 40 amp fuses not many at all the norm for a 300 watt RMS amplifier is one 25 to 30 amp fuse. That should tell you it bad azz. |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 143 Registered: Aug-06 | punch 45, 22.5 watts x 2 rms... http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/S-QhW5Qrhd9z7/reviews/amplifiers/20050712/rock ford_punch45.html?page=3 |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2229 Registered: Dec-05 | 179% underrated is the rockford t3002 |
|
Silver Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 202 Registered: Aug-06 | so i guess im gonna go with the rockford then but why would they advertise so underrated thats just bad marketing. |
|
Silver Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 204 Registered: Aug-06 | o but what about power acoustik amps are they any good. they seem very reasonably priced. how do they compare to a hifonics or PG |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2237 Registered: Dec-05 | ^^^^^ not all of PA products are good, they're overrated by a ton, BUT their class D line (amps with grey colors) are very good for the money and i say that they can be compared to hifonics BUT not to PG cuz the quality of pg is superior. I'll put an example, if you need 2k watts and you don't have 400$ to buy a decent quality amp, Power acoustik a3000db would be a better option than hifonics 2006d when it comes to power cuz the hifo will put 1800w and the PA will put 2000-2300w rms. But after all we pay for quality. |

Silver Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 206 Registered: Aug-06 | yea. thanx for everyones help. i bought the PG 15:0.1 so as soon as that comes i can finally hook everything up. i will post pics when its done! i hope that my infinitys will sound good though cuz im going with the maunfacture specs for everything except im tuning to 35hz instead of 32. but ill let you all know. and thanx agian everybody |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2249 Registered: Dec-05 | that's a great amp! |
