Silver Member Username: Smoke05Tucson, Arizona U.S. Post Number: 119 Registered: Jan-07 | should i push them at 1100 at 2 ohms or 1600 at 1 omh??? i hear they can take more than 500 rms daily. |

Silver Member Username: BoomtankRochester, NY USA Post Number: 165 Registered: Oct-06 | I run a MA Audio HK401sx... got it off ebay stores for $225. Its pushing 2 kicker comp 15" right now and it pounds ( 2 ohm load bout 500wrms) . I will be running at 1 ohm with a Fi.Q 15 very soon and it will be around 1000wrms I have been very pleased with Ma Audio's HK line of monoblock amps. A lot of people dont like them but they are budget amps... you can't ask for 3000wrms for 200 bucks. "You get what you pay for", always true but with this amp there is no clipping and it is very clean. Not bad for 200 bucks and it will push a good 1500 rms at .5ohms (its .5 ohm stable ) if you ever needed a little more power |

Buy two Alpine type R dual 2 ohm and a jbl gto 1201.1 That's a perfect match. I know hifonics is decent, but he can afford better so, leave hifonics. I know some guys will agree with me. And hell no! forget ma audio. |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 420 Registered: Nov-04 | What's the budget anyway? About $300 shipped you can get Orion HCCA-D2400. 1200W(and probably more) rms into 1ohm. I can personally testify to that amp's performance. There was a thread where a guy ran 9 subs with that amp into a 0.44ohm load and it never got hot. I think it's just awesome. |

Silver Member Username: Smoke05Tucson, Arizona U.S. Post Number: 125 Registered: Jan-07 | lol i would never buy Ma, a friend of mine bought it and thanks to his warranty he is running his 4th amp it keeps burning and he is running it at 4ohms just at rms and the gain is at half. lol I'm thinking about the jbl, but i have never seen one working, and about the orion what online store carry that model?? thanks for all he replies. |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 432 Registered: Nov-04 | I actually just got my JBL amp and will install it later this evening. It's a heavy ba$tard haha I'm not running subs with it, so it'll be treated very nicely with a 4ohm load. eBay has that orion amp. |
