Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaMendon, Ny Usa Post Number: 35 Registered: Aug-06 | so lanzar makes good amps? cuz i heard all their stuff is garbage. |
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 575 Registered: Jan-06 | opti line is suposidly good for a budget |
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1884 Registered: Dec-05 | very good mat dope hehe, their build quality is good |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaMendon, Ny Usa Post Number: 41 Registered: Aug-06 | im gonna go with the hifonics BXi 1206 ibeleive its 900 watts RMS at 2ohms but thats ok for me cuz i dont want to overheat my amp any ways and i think 2 infinity 12.1's should be fine with 900 anyways. |
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1889 Registered: Dec-05 | well... it's your choice |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaMendon, Ny Usa Post Number: 48 Registered: Aug-06 | yea it is but i want to get the best value possible on this so im asking you guys what you think. and i appreciate the help so far very much from everyone on this site. |
Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 962 Registered: Mar-04 | actual power of the 1400D is probably pretty close to the HF, and I would consider the Lanzar slightly better in overall quality. The few bench test results that have shown up on the Brutus amps continually show them to fall short of thier power ratings, and I've never known of an Optidrive that wasn't at least a little UNDER-rated, some models being VERY under-rated. In the big picture they're very comparable amps, but I personally lean a little to the Optidrive. |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 71 Registered: Aug-06 | Is it worth the price difference in price? |
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1911 Registered: Dec-05 | i'd pick the optidrive too anyday |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 74 Registered: Aug-06 | are all of their amps better or just the optidrive? what has a better warranty hifonics or lanzar? |
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1914 Registered: Dec-05 | i'd say just the optidrive and maybe some monoblocks, cuz lanzar has pretty bad products... about the warranty, IDK but i've seen lanzar refurbs with 1 year warranty... a lil list of lanzars good amps would be: Optidrive line Lanzar vibe 1200d(underrated!) and 1800d( 4x30A fuses) i own it and it does the job nicely. Heritage 2600d (around 1500w rms for less than 250$) Vibe 3100d (overrated cuz it claims 3000w but it puts 1700w rms for less than 350$) other amps are kinda questionable... |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 75 Registered: Aug-06 | the best price on ebay for the opti drive 1400 is $250 shipped . the best price for the BXi 1206D is $225 shipped but i can upgrade to the BXi1606D for 253 shipped so is it really worth it for the lanzar? What am i paying extra for? The BXi 1606D is huge its 1100 Rms @ 2ohms way more than i need. I only have 2 Infinity kappa perfect 12.1s Rated at 350 Rms a peice. If the Sq is Noticable better in the opti Drive i might Get it but its only rated a 650 Rms @ 2 ohms i dont want to over heat it or send a clipped signal. |
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1919 Registered: Dec-05 | well just some calculations... the 1606d puts 1300w rms at 1 ohm, at 2 ohms should put around 700w or less.... that's a risk you're willing to take?? seriously, why you don't get a better amp such as kicker 750.1 or another brand??? save some money... i'd pick the optidrive instead of hifonics... |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 76 Registered: Aug-06 | Hifonics Is over rated by 400 Rms watts!?!?! where did u get thoes calculations? When i made this post many others were reccomending the BXi 1206D for 700 Rms @ 2ohms its rated at 900. |
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1922 Registered: Dec-05 | ohh right the hifo is 1100w rms hehe, sorry i confused some infos... hell yeah get the Hifo.. it will do the job nicely... i thought the amp was 900w rms at 2 ohms and 1600w rms at1 ohm.. sorry... i need to sleep! |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 79 Registered: Aug-06 | haha yea me 2. thanx for the help though man but i was gonna say i thought u were a little confused. but the kicker amp seems like a pretty good deal its 750Rms rated. but is it alot better in quality than the Bxi 1206D or Bxi 1606D? Enough of a difference in quality to Sacrafice The Extra Watts of The BXi's? And how the Warranty Of the kicker? |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3084 Registered: Oct-05 | i'm not sure about the warrenty.. but if you got the 1606, that would put out more than the kicker 750.1... 1206D and 750.1 are pretty close in rated rms -- kicker i would choose, because of durability |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 80 Registered: Aug-06 | what do you mean by durability? like if i drop it it will not break or like its not gonna overheat or die or burn or just stop working? or both |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3087 Registered: Oct-05 | the kicker will last longer and take more punsihment. i have worked with kicker wired down to .5 ohms and take it like champs... they wont overheat ever either |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 81 Registered: Aug-06 | nice but idk if i can justify spending more for that many less watts. Am i likely to blow 2 Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1's with a BXi 1606D? There both single coil 4 ohms so a 2 ohm load. the subs are rated at 350 each and the amp is rated at 1100 rms but i hear it only puts out 900 Rms. but wouldnt the amps signal be very clean going to the subs making them less likely to blow? i just dont want to like crank it up and then blow my subs so idk maby i should get the BXi 1206D |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3093 Registered: Oct-05 | its up to you, just keep your gain a lil below what it should be set at, and you will be fine. |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3094 Registered: Oct-05 | but i have never seen an actual bench sheet on that hifoics one... so it could do 1100 watts or 1000 meaning you would potetially blow your subs |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 84 Registered: Aug-06 | well ill jutsturn the gain down a lil more would that do it? |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3099 Registered: Oct-05 | yes. but it wouldbe great to know how much actualy the amp would put out so you can guess how much you need to turn it down... http://cgi.ebay.com/P6001BD-ROCKFORD-FOSGATE-600W-MONO-AMP-NEW-P6001BD_W0QQitemZ 280018036477QQihZ018QQcategoryZ64572QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ?? |
Silver Member Username: 2pacalypse1971Sandusky, Oh Post Number: 146 Registered: Jul-05 | $225 shipped i can get ya my orion 1200d that does 700 @ 2 ohms and 1200 at one for later upgrading...let me know if your interested by emialin me at betterdayz728@bex.net |
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1927 Registered: Dec-05 | those infinity's can't handle too much power, they tend to blow if you overpower them a lil hehe... that rockford is good, underrated so it will do around 800w... and yeah the kicker will have better durability, that's an amp that you know you're going to die and leave it to your son hahahha lol! Marcus that orion is brand new??? |
