approx 300 and looking for 12s

[pablo4429 10+ year member]

ya well like the title says im gonna have like 300 or so for either one nice sub or 2 mediocre ones

i plan to use a PA 3000 class D, i was thinking hifonics but heard really up and down reviews so i guess i got scared off

i was looking into pioneer premeirs but i was reading some discouraging things about them and so i was leaning to kicker L7s but i already have one and i might wanna try something new

so any info on either pioneers (3004/2) or comparable subs (ebay prices by the way haha) or hifonics amps

thanks all

you want better sq? or just louder?

 

[pablo4429 10+ year member]

oh yea forgot to add that probly louder but if possibly a mix with emphais on SPL and i was gonna use a ported box but any other info is appreciated about sealed ( i have a sealed now and its ok but obviously ported are louder)

i say you just port the one you have now then.. save some money. if that doesn't work out, you can always get a second sub and run them ported.

ya i thought about that but i only have a 10 now and i wanted to try something different

i'm in the down review on hifonics. like the amps, dislike the subs.

really i was talking about the hifonics amps

so they have been good to you how are they on rated power and reliability

i'm happy with my tsw3004spl's...

i have the bass boost on nothing, loud on none, sub level on hu on 0, gain matching my hu and its pretty daym loud...

i have my eq set on "vacal" (lowest level of bass) because anything else it'll drown my REV's (don't have the amp hooked up yet)...so yeah, its pretty impressive...especially for what i go them for...

I'm happy with mine. You aren't going to get the full watts they rate at, but it's generally int he upper 80% area of true watts (about 87% of their rating or so). For the price, excellent amps and just feel sturdy as well. Don't feel/look cheap at all. The BXi 1606D (which will actually output a little more than 1400w IIRC) is less than $300 right now at OnlineCarStereo.

agreed. the bx1206 i had did 1150 rms. 50 watts under, but worth every penny still.

so then you guys think hifonics would be an ok choice

 

[NJTStang11 10+ year member]

I have a hifonics 1606d and 2 premier 3004s

Both work great and sound great, no problems as of yet
