Amp for SS Rli-10

[runninglance 10+ year member]

Alright I'm doing research for my next system. It is going in an Acura Integra and I want to still have some space in the hatch. I'm going to have two sealed boxes each 1 cube, for two RLi-10's I don't really know what amp to run them off of. I know people are running more power through them than they are rated but I dont know how much. I'm going for a SQL set up more towards the SQ side of the spectrum. So I want enough to push them but it dosnt need to be the maximum they can handle. I saw 2 Hifonics Brutus 1500d's in the classifieds how would those do? Any suggestions, ideas and help with this install would be greatly appreciated.

2 brutus might be overdoing it. I had a viper 1200.1d on mine; the gains were set conservitivly and they sounded amazing.

How much can they take?

They'd probably perform best under 400 watts each...Audison LRX 1.400 would be perfect @ 1 ohm...

what do you want to spend?

 

[runninglance 10+ year member]

Not a fortune, since I am going to college this fall and getting an apartment. So, probably around in the $400 range.

Audison LRX 1.400 FTW... Great quality power from an underrated amp. Or an Xterminator US Amps that matches up if you want best bang for ya buck...

Alright what do you think about a US Amps AX1000, 350W/Ch @ 4ohms. Or what about running two of the US Amps AX400 360W x 1 Bridged at 4 ohms. Sorry for the amount of questions but I'm still learning about car audio (this will be my second install).

They can take about ~500-600 watts in free air. I was breaking in 6 of them yesterday for T/S measurements. The limit of the sub really is when you see the surround start to cavitate. The motor bottoms out after that, but they have almost 3.5" of mechanical clearance so that’s really not a problem. Its good to have more power than you need so you don't clip your amp, not to break your drivers. I'd rather not have to fix them for ya //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Two AX400s would be perfect... No need to apolgize for askin questions, only way you will learn something //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif ...

Phoenix Gold Xenon 600.1 they are rated at 600watts but the are all putting out 800+ so you would be giving each 400wrms of good clean sound. I have 1 on RL-p12 and it sounds great. I just orders a pair of RL-i8s and thats what I am going to run them with.

Well i just saw what maybe a good deal in the classifieds. A Hifonics Zues XI 2x350 @ 4 ohms and 2x500 @ 2ohms (which i might do). Its for $200 what do you guys think would this be a good match for the subs? And what kind of experience hae you had with Hifonics good/bad? Thanks
