Hey, im purchasing an amp(s) and I am stuck on a few...Basically they will be powering 2x50W(RMS)(maybe 2 other ones...) and a Dual Voice Coil Memphis 15-MC104D (10", 200W RMS at 4ohm..so I would run it at 2ohm)
So should I go the easy/cheap route and get a HIFONICS ZXi8006 that is an all in one solution? ($240)
Or should I get a ROCKFORD FOSGATE P4004 ($180) and ALPINE MRP-M450 ($130)
Any help is appreciated, and if any of you can think of any other solutions let me know!
Find out which one offers the power @ 12.5v. Hifonics and lot of others love to print 14.4v ratings. Unless you have HO alternator, by the time you raise the volume, the power at the amp's terminal will be somewhere 12.5v - 13v. So if it's 50w x 4 @ 14.4v, then in your car, it might be 35w-40w.
Nathan makes custom High output alternators. Like 200 amp alternators that will give you plenty of current and keep a steady voltage too. Much better than ANY stock alternator.
This month he is offering a group buy for ecoustic memebers only, meaning you can get an alternator for cheaper. Look into it if you are interested. I only wish I had the money to do it right now....
Im interested, how much do prices usually range? I would prolly be getting a low end version...how much you guys think, how can i get a qoute.
Since i am buying online im haveing trouble finding the specs for 12V vs 14.4V. Essentialy i want to keep my budget for amp(s) at $300...and the fosgate+alpine are right there...
Ive never installed an amp or car audio system, but i am very knoweldgeable and havbe installed my HU and front speakers...I guess ill look it up more when im in the process...but do i need some dort of installation kit?
hey Bryan I have the Hifonics zx8000 which has the same specs as the zxi8006.I'm powering 2 10's running at 2ohms and 4 sets of door speakers.It sounds all right,but I think you will be happier with a 2 amp set-up.I'm just waiting for my amp to blow-up so I can repalce it (it's allready lost 1 channel)
Henry, thats pretty much what i was thinking...an all in one amp for only $230??? TO good to be true... the other all in one amps i was looking at were the eclipse version and the memphis belle... and those were about $400 to $600...
