Bronze Member Username: ArtofaccuracyPost Number: 55 Registered: May-04 | I'm wondering what amp to get? Trying to go cheap, bang for the buck. They're going in sealed boxes behind my mr2's seats, they're description says 600 watts each but my friend told me they push 750 watts each? What's up with that? |

Bronze Member Username: HardhittinpunchPost Number: 13 Registered: Feb-06 | he's better off with a Hifonics amp either way. |
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 6534 Registered: Jul-05 | That USamp is wayyyy better then hifonics amp that is cheaper and alot of them that are higher |

Bronze Member Username: HardhittinpunchPost Number: 16 Registered: Feb-06 | whoa.. Im being called a dumbass? He asked for what amp, so I gave him a good Amp. Hifoncis is way under-rated also. And excuse me for not knowing about running 2 subs through a 1 channel amp. My bad. But Hifonics is definetly a great amp, and I have 2 forums of people that will back me up on that. www.forum.realmofexcursion.com www.deathbydb.com |
Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 585 Registered: Jan-05 | Hifonics is definitely not under-rated. They only put out around 70% of there rated power @ 14.4 volts. |
Bronze Member Username: HardhittinpunchPost Number: 18 Registered: Feb-06 | one line of the amps do. Most of them put MORE per say wattage out than they are rated |
Silver Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 908 Registered: Jun-05 | That dosnt look under rated to me.. at 14.4 volts, it's over 100 actual watts lower.. and at 13 volts, it's over 500 watts over-rated. They are good budget amps, but DEFINATELY not under-rated. |
Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 1631 Registered: Jan-05 | holy sh1t 10% thd, thats high as h3ll, i think anything over 1% is audible, i can't imagine what 10% would sound like. but for amps look into kx1200.1, 1200d, re12.1, that amp alter mentioned would be perfect also. |
Bronze Member Username: ArtofaccuracyPost Number: 56 Registered: May-04 | I'm looking into the merlin md2 amp, the only thing is it sounds really shady. First of all I've never heard of USAmp before. Second, I see people selling them on ebay for 375.00 as well. Third a search on google yields nothing even close to a review of the amplifier, the only place I can find them is some german site. I'm leaning toward the hifonics because its got all these sweet features like remote bass control, 2,000 WATT Mono Block Class "D" Monster Subwoofer amplifier 2,000 x 1 RMS @ 1 ohm 1 ohm stable 1,300 watts @ 2 ohms Mosfet power outputs RCA Outputs Advanced Class Super "D" Setup All new efficient Heatsink Design Hifonics Logo Illuminates in bright neon illumination Power and Protection LED indicator Gold RCA Inputs Daisy Chainable (you can connect 2 amps and get double the power together) Built in advanced crossover system Balanced line inputs Soft Start Turn on for extra long lasting amplifier protection Subsonic bass filtration system Low Pass Filter: 35 - 250 Hz Bass Boost: 0 - 18 dB Phase Shift: 0 - 180 degrees 24 dB Subsonic Filter (15 - 50 Hz) Dimensions: 16.5" L x 10.39" W x 2.63" H S/N Ratio: >95dB THD: <0.08 |
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 6537 Registered: Jul-05 | LOL,,, U are a silly man I Guarantee u there are a whole lot of brands that u have never heard of that would kill anything that u have heard of...Stop being ignorant Forget the Hifonics amp, if u can get the USAmp get it....And if a remote bass control would make u buy an amp, u are a disgrace to car audio |
Silver Member Username: Matt12490Benicia, California USA Post Number: 733 Registered: May-05 | Those aren't "sweet features", they are just facts about the amp, every other amp will have those same "sweet features", but with better numbers. Hifonics<<<<<<<<<<(less great times 10)US Amps.. |
Bronze Member Username: ArtofaccuracyPost Number: 57 Registered: May-04 | lol my bad. I dont really know why I posted that thing about sweet features, I knew it was just an advertising ploy. I'm getting the USamps because its the better sub I've figured out. Not to "prove my worth" on this forum though, I could give a sh!t |
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 2489 Registered: Sep-05 | man, US AMPS are up there with the BEST! Dont pass that offer up! US AMPS and Hifonics dont belong in the same sentance! "I have USAmp merlin md2 for 375$ shipped. is very underrated as actaul output is closer to 1800x1@1ohm" Alteraudio |
