no kicker amps are solid, i dont use hifonics so i dont know to much about them but they put out only 80% of rated power, or so i hear.

the sundown will never push 2k rms at 1 ohm...

it will do 1510 rms at 1 ohm

and if u have a hell of a charging system expect

1635rms at 1 ohm...

still the bxi2006d will push more power

Rob is so self centered its crazy.

1) That Sundown is so underrated expect near 2000 from it with a good charging system.
2) It can drop to .5ohm DAILY. (And can probably push more than 2000 while doing it.)
3) Build quality is GREAT.

WHAT DOES HIFONICS GOT ON THAT?
1) OVERrated at about 1500rms.
2) Don't ever expect .5ohm daily on it.
3) Build quality is... aright.

results from the sundowns...

Test Vehicle.. mine.. 05 aveo..

RMS clamp and dmm, as seen in the 12" test session..

This testing includes recent results, and not so recent..

woofers used.. 2 Mags (1.9 dcr per coil), 2 FI Q 12's (1.4 dcr per coil)

either used 1 sub or both of the pair for loads..

pure 60hz sine was used to tested.. just under audible clipping

1 amp, single 1000ca everstart maxx, factory alt

4 ohm nominal = 518 watts @ 88% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 14.0v)
2 ohm nominal = 948 watts @ 85% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 13.6v)
1 ohm nominal = 1510 watts @ 78% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 12.4 volts
.5 ohm nominal = 1615 watts @ 72% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 11.8v)
.35 ohm nominal = 1748 watts @ 67% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 11.4v)

amplifier was protection happy @ .35 with tones, and some music.

IMO.. one 1500d should be limited to 1 ohm nominal use in factory electrical systems.. for the sake of the car.. not the amp

now... to have fun with some juice..

1 amp, single 1000ca everstart maxx, 1 Eagle Picher 12a5000, factory alt

4 ohm nominal = 520 watts @ 88% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 14.1v)
2 ohm nominal = 960 watts @ 84% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 13.7v)
1 ohm nominal = 1635 watts @ 75% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 12.8 volts
.5 ohm nominal = 1890 watts @ 71% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 12.8v)
.35 ohm nominal = 2245 watts @ 65% efficiency (voltage fell from 14.3v, to 12.8v)

amplifier did fine @ .35 with tones and music with the added battery

2 amps strapped, with both batteries (for the sake of not typing it over and over... voltage drops from 14.3v, to 12.8 the entire test... lol

4 ohm strapped = 1900 watts @ 82% efficiency
2 ohm strapped = 3150 watts @ 72% efficiency
1 ohm strapped = 3740 watts @ 68% efficiency
.5 ohm strapped = 4425 watts @ 65% efficiency
.35 ohm strapped = 5415 watts @ 62% efficiency

amps would only tolerate a VERY short burp @ .35..



thats from sundown ratings the dude who tested its one of hte ones who made the amps...

by the way a Eagle Picher 12a5000 its alot better than a kinetik hc2400 :-)....

and yes u will never see 2000 rms not even with a good charging at .5ohms... and yes u will see 2000 or over at .35 ohms buts its risking the amp....

If you notice Rob, that is at 12 volts. We have seen a smooth 1800 rms at 1 ohm at 14 volts FYI. Hifonics build is crap compared to Sundown. You will NEVER see 95% of rated out of Hifonics on a 12.8 volt system. I am not being an @ss, just stating the truth.

Sundown> Bentley
Hifonics> Kia

The guy probably said that about the HIFONICS amps because they don't sell them.

Hifonics are good budget amps and nothing more. The reason people use them is because they do put out ALMOST their stated power. The sundown on the other hand has great build quality and as you can see can be run daily below 1 ohm. Id really like to see the hifonics do that for any period of time.

dude where u can get an amp at that price that can do like u all saying its underated lets say 1800 rms at 1 ohm with the sound quility they provide?????

and with my atomic it can do .7ohms all day... and if u like to comp u can see on other forums that they can do burps at .5ohms but not daily at that price u cant go wrong...

umm ok im a noob i dont no nuttin u all know everyhting i feel bad :-( .

but lets look at under the hood i think im better paying 350 for a 1800 rms at 1 ohm at 14.3 volts than a 599 that can do 1635 at 1 ohm at 14.3 volts and all that im juzz gettin its to go down more ohms but even at low ohms i will not get 2000 rms form the sundown till i drop it like .35 ohms but will take tons of current and its risking your amp.


lets take a look inside the hood..

hifonics bxi2006d
Upload


and finnaly the sundown.

Upload


i think im better with a hifonics its my opinion. but its an opinion its not a fact u might want to pick up a sundown it syoru choice not mine... so i htink im out of this thread

they look alil diferent only the sundown looks alil beefier for the extra caps to make it go down some more ohms.... but the hifonics wins on other specs of the amp... can u juzz see the size of those mosfetS of the hifonics??? damn those are mean mosfets...


but yeah im better with hifonics because of the price...
