Bronze Member Username: ComerzPost Number: 32 Registered: Nov-07 | I recently went to my local audio shop where the buddy there seems to know his stuff. He told me that there are a lot of amps out there that claim to be way more powerfull than they are. He told me for a reference to look at the fuses on the back to see if it is the true amount. I was wondering if anybody knew how true the Hifonics bxi 1606D is when they state it is a 1600 watt RMS amp. I just want to make sure im not buying something with like half that power, ya know? Thanks for any input guys. |

Bronze Member Username: ComerzPost Number: 33 Registered: Nov-07 | well thats the thing. I am looking to buy this amp online. I went to ebay and it was $340 to get it shipped to my door. Then i checked www.onlinecarstereo.com and to get it shipped to me it is $227. I dont really know if it is a trusted site, so does anyone have any experience buying stuff from there? |

Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 2034 Registered: Jun-04 | there is no way hes hitting 150 on the tl with those bx1500s at 2 ohms ... if he is then hes got some serious skill ... hed be lucky to get 2200 out of both of them combined ... 2200 watts and 2 12s is very hard to get a 150 out of |

Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 833 Registered: Apr-07 | ^With a high tuning for spl purposes it's very different than on music. I've seen 1 12 on 2500 hit 150 and change. But it sounds like crap on music. |

Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 2035 Registered: Jun-04 | oh i agree with that troy.. but the person doing so had a ton of expierience with spl ... not saying the guy in question doesnt ... if he does do it .. then more power to him ... people with "much better" equipment cant hit that number |

Silver Member Username: Sinful_systems7015 INCH WANG... Post Number: 954 Registered: Nov-06 | ^^^"people with "much better" equipment cant hit that number" equipment doesn't matter as much as enclosure and vehicle.... Here is (1) hifonics subwoofer with (1) Hifonics amp hitting 171.1, proving that its more in vehicle and enclosure than equipment(since everyone says that Hifonics is crap)... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3785296572611679533&q=Pioneer+Premier&t otal=171&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=6 |

Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 2036 Registered: Jun-04 | you understand thats why i put much better in parenthesis ... i have all the respect in the world for you if your hitting a 50 ... people try for years to do and cant succeed .. i know all about competiting and cars and enclosures ... pretty much ne thing ... so dont think that i dont .. but i just cant believe youve done it until i see proof ... and the guy with the hifonics stuff .. more power to him ... thats a man with excellent knowledge and a good enclosure ... |

Bronze Member Username: ComerzPost Number: 35 Registered: Nov-07 | how does hifonics suck? i think the brutus line is pretty good.} |
|
Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 2037 Registered: Jun-04 | hifonics for the most part is middle of the road equipment .. i wouldnt say it sucks whatsoever ... he just said people say it does ... if i needed big power on a budget id look into one of them |
