16Ov.2 VS 13 W1 VS 12 Rl-p

[WMStateChamp18 10+ year member]

I was looking at either

HiFonics BX1205D for 900 rms x 1 at 2 ohms-200

Direct Audio 1500D for 800 Rms x 1 at 2 ohms-155 referbed

Viper 1200.1 for 800 rms x 1 at 2 ohms - 189 referbed

or any other suggestions i will take?

hey man, i own the 16.KV.2 and it is a great sub and pretty **** loud. So the OV.2 is probably going to be a bit louder. I would recomend the OV.2 cause u also get the extra cone area by going with the 15 instead of the 12 SS.

not at the moment, but effendi on TeamSSAudio.com is selling his D2 RL-p's,

 

but the D4 Rl-p with that Viper amp is a good match

Dude, do you always post in bold???

since you wanted more spl, i would do 1.8 cubes at 39 hz. that's what i had my rl-p's and they screamed. you might want to go lower for sq. with that directed 1500D that would be nice.

so no one thinks that hifonics bx1205 is better then those other amps at 200 for a brand new amp for 900 watts or used referbed amps for 160 and 189 at 800 watts?

I would take a used kicker or orion over a HiFonics,

 

but thats my opinion

get the directed. those refurbs have updated parts and gone through numerous quality checks before they were available for sale. also hifonics struggles to produce rated power, and doesn't like running at 1 ohm. (i know you are not gonna run at 1 ohm now)

correct. i just figured when i made that comment about the hifonics not running well at 1 ohm, that you would follow up with, well i'm not gonna run it at 1 ohm. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif bottom line, get the directed or viper.

see the only thing i dont like is the referb i dont trust used stuff! bad experices! anyhow so is this 12 rl-p in a good ported box at like 1.8 cub feet at 34-36 hz with viper or direct audio is it gona be louder then a 16Ov.2 in a ported box 2.5 cbfeet at 30 hz with a nine.1?

you are comparing a 16" sub to a 12" sub. why not a 15" rl-p? what's wrong with something that was used, but was redone to be practically new? you also get a warranty with the amp so i don't see the problem.
