2 diamond d3400.2 or hifonics bx1500

[Johnston_2007 10+ year member]

I have 2 diamond d3400.2 amps pushing 2 diamond c312.2 subs and i am wanting for it to be a tad bit louder since each sub is only getting 410 watts now. i was thinking about selling the 2 amps and just getting 1 hifonics bx1500 amp. it runs 1500 watts at 1 ohm so i could hook up my subs at 2 ohms and it would be a 1 ohm load on the amp right? and that would be 750 watts a piece. and i think that would suit my needs a tad bit better. but i was checking before i go and sell my amps. what would be ur guys oppions about this also i might sell my cm3's and buy some xxx' subs. but do u guys think this would be better. personally i dont really like have 2 seperate amps for my subs. but thanxs alot for ur oppions and also i searched and found out that the year 2004 hifonics amps are better than 2005 so i will get the 2004 year series thanxs alot.

okay i have searched the bx1500 and it looks like it really doesnt do 1500 and is overrated. well i was looking around and it looks liek another good amp is the nine.1. and its 350 shipped so if i can get 175 out of my amps. then i can get the nine.1 but what do u guys think either the bx1500 or the nine.1 or do u guys suggest any other amps that will be good. for what i need also my subs are dual 2 ohm subs. so i can i hook them 2 subs up to run at 1 ohm. thanxs alot.

Nine.1's are good amps I seen the specs on ur subs and says a Rms rating of 400 but im guessing thats a conservative rating. Welp I would take a nine.1 over a bx1500 anyday .

nine.1 would be fine, i have a viper 1200.1 on mine and they handle the power fine.

I've saw four different ratings for cm3s...

my owners manual says 500...

online says 400...

on the sub it says 300

place i got it from listed them as 600

oh and also the place i bought my cm3's from said that and i seen where they were running 800 watts rms into each sub and they loved it. well they loved it alot more than what mine are getting and i love it to. but i think when i get a job or a good job lol im goign to sell my cm312's and get 2 12inch seXXX's

I run a Memphis500D on my Single ported CM312,and its plenty - 800w to a CM3 is a waste and will kill the sub in short order,that guy running 800w to a cm3 needs an M6 (which I also own) and his head examined.

If your looking for a new bigger amp,the new Diamond D6s are excellent and all are 1ohm final load - a D61000.1 will produce about 1300-1400 watts at 1ohm,more than enough for 2 CM3s and will smoke a Hifonics in SQ and clean power

I also like Mmats,and Memphis amps if you can wing the cash

if your on a tighter budget Poweracoustic is alot better than you would expect myself included
