Amp to power...

[JeremiahCoffel 10+ year member]

I am wanting to get an amp that will power my 2 12" Hifonics HF12D4's with around 300-400 RMS. Would be great if I could get an amp that would do 700 RMS x 1 @ 1OHM. I haven't been able to locate any though. Also, please don't offer me your amp that's for sale either, unless you're going to carry a warranty on it.

whats your budget?

I'm trying to spend no more than $150, but I know I can't find anything great in that budget, so I might be able to stretch it.

That's exceeding the actual RMS rating of the subs by 300 watts for the pair. These subs are rated at 700 for the pair and 350 each. Does anyone know if these subs are over/under rated? If so, how much?

just don't turn the gain all the way up?

 

[JeremiahCoffel 10+ year member]

Yeah, I guess I could do that. I have always liked Crunch, so I might go with that if I can't find anything.

Even with my Vibe 226 I don't have the gains all the way up, it's about 3/4, and they pound, I don't even think they're even gettin' 250 watts or more, but I haven't checked with a DMM.

Also, can anyone else suggest any other amps?

it my opinion its always better to have more clean power than to have your amp struggling to produce power. Having that extra cusion makes sure the amp doesnt have to work hard at all to produce the wattage you need which in turn will cause less stress on it and it will last longer for you.
