I'm not rich so please try to keep the price as low as possible. What do you guys think of the CRUNCH PZI 2000? Will they do at least 1000@2 or are they trash? The price is nice |

The Crossfire VR1000D is 1ohm stable at 12.5v Take a look at Kicker ZX750.1 Kicker ZX1000.1 Kicker ZX1500.1 Phoenix Gold RSd1200.1 |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rI compensate... Post Number: 8396 Registered: Jul-06 | At one point in time Hifonics amps were beastly and they still are but you just have to look into their higher end amps which most people who trash talk about Hifonics wouldn't know since they either A. Can't afford them or B.Have no use for such powerful amps. Look into SPL competitors setups and you'll see that Hifonics amps can and do kick azz. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 7989 Registered: Jul-06 | With hifoncis the XX series are good quality, the Brutus are budget not great, and the Zxi are just plain crap. And then theres the power ratings. I've seen Brutus and XX series amps benched and they are all overrated. |

Silver Member Username: Neptune07Grand Junction/Golden, CO Post Number: 120 Registered: Jun-08 | its good to hear arguments from both sides cuase when i first bought my BXi 1206D i was only told that i bought an overrated budget amp and they were even more unreliable beign produced by maxxsonics. but i have had it for well over 2 years and its still doin its thang. intstalled it all myself cause my first set up was installed by best buy and i fried a couple audiobahns in less than a year (which might actually be longer than they usually last lol) so M.S. the brutus may be slightly overrated but my amp does a great job of pushing my type r's to their capabilities. if they are indeed "budget" amps then i'd have to say you definitely get your money's worth |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8011 Registered: Jul-06 | People call them budget amps b/c they are cheap but have higher failure rates than most amps. Sounds like you got a good one though, thats good. BTW they are overrated more than a little. In the range of 20-30% depending on the amp, so don't expect to see anything over 950w out of a 1206d. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 5429 Registered: Dec-05 | something i can say about them is that they're not as efficient as we might want. I did an install in a CRV, stock alt is like 80-90A and just pushing one L7 voltage is dropping to 10.9V :S |

If so, that's pretty bad lol and you need to do something about it. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8014 Registered: Jul-06 | Yeah, IDK if you can blame the amp for that, I don't think other amps would do a whole lot better. Sounds to me like a seriously lacking electrical system. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 5436 Registered: Dec-05 | M.S i agree with both posts, car has no accesories at all... just a brand new battery and 1k rms, it has stock speakers so, no current draw over there. |
