New member Username: CycloneBronx , Ny Usa Post Number: 6 Registered: Nov-05 | Whats up bassers , I'm looking for a decent amplifier to run 2 bostonacoustic G2's . They are rated at 300 rms and 600 peak . Right now I have an oldschool soundstream reference 500 pushing one and it sounds great , this amp however doesn't have enough power for both so I am looking to upgrade! I am running 500 watts into 1 dvc 12 , wired in paralel to make a 2 ohm load . This amp puts out 500 watts into a 2 ohm load . These subs can handle some pretty descent power . I was looking into hifonics or phoenix gold but maybe somebody else knows of an amp that is good and won't destroy my bank account . Let me know?!?! |

New member Username: CycloneBronx , Ny Usa Post Number: 7 Registered: Nov-05 | I know it says Hifonics amps are stable at 1 ohm , but for how long . The bx1500d got some pretty good reviews , and I really haven't heard any bad things about hifonics . For about the same amount of money i could get an orion 600d , phoenix gold xenon 600.1 , or memphis all would run a 1 ohm load . Wich amp would be most stable and efficient . I hear memphis amps are pretty good as well . Basically just looking for the cleanest 1 ohm stable amp that wont melt and doesn't cost a fortune . What do you think would sound the best for under 300 . Also if I ran those two 12's (600 w rms ) on a hf brutus 1500d would it be too much ? Could the speakers be overpowered and become distorted , Or... if the gains are set right they would run fine . I also have the subs on a kicker zx3 crossover and a 4 volt HU , so the signal would be clean . Thanks for your help! |

New member Username: CycloneBronx , Ny Usa Post Number: 8 Registered: Nov-05 | An addiction it is . I really can't upgrade anything else in my home so I have to upgrade the ride . Nothing wrong with putting 4 12's in my cable work van lol . I was wondering how clean those hifonics amps are And I think I need to upgrade my stock alternator to run more wattage . I'm having trouble right now running 700 watts on this alternator . I have heard the hifonics amps are power hungry . Thanks for the offer Thomas maybe around Christmas I'll shoot you an email . At 150 for that amp it probablly won't last long!! Would you say that hifonics makes a decent amp and what did you have running off of it ? My goal is 4 of these bostons with about 450-500 clean watts running to each one . So it would be 2 1500d's for the 4 12's in the long run . Thanks again |
Silver Member Username: Islandboy808Mililani, Hawaii US Post Number: 136 Registered: Nov-05 | hifonics are known more for people who are on a budget.actually alot of people think these amps are good for the money and there are also some that wouldnt get it.but as for me it worked well until i sold my subs so i have nothing right now. i herd someone say that they push more around 1000-1100 watts peak and not 1500.but overall i like the amp very much,just im going to upgrade to something more.watch out ull be an addict too lol,and ull never be satisfied with what u got. |
