New member Username: Nando17Long Island, NY Post Number: 7 Registered: Dec-10 | I made a thread about a 2 weeks ago saying i was going to get two type R's. Well, I noted my trunk space and wallet and changed my mind lol. Now i want just one 15" type R, and im getting a Hifonics HFi1000d. I know people here will probably say there are better amps, but thats my target price range :/. Now, i want to know if i should wire it at 2ohms(750w) or 1ohm(1000w). I ask because im sure hifonics overrates their wattage, so maybe i should go for 1ohm, but would i be sacrificing SQ by doing that? Also i still need to find a box, if anyone can point me in the right direction for that thanks |
