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

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.

 
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?

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)

 
no i am gona run at 2 ohm cause i have to because the subs are dvc 4 ohm subs right from soundsplinter?

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.
