Best amp for...

[JeremiahCoffel 10+ year member]

I have 2 12" Hifonics HF12S4 Single 4 OHM. What would be the best amp for these? Will be in a Sealed box with around .75 CUF. I'm looking for the best amp to power these. Also, I was wondering, would an Alpine V12 MRD-M605 be a good amp to power these?

if i was you, i would first start off with some new subs and then work from there, but thats me. you should prolly power it with an xplode 1200w amp.it would do fine for those subs

I'm not doing Sony, and this is just for a dodge neon my girlfriend drives that I occasionally drive. She's not too concerned on brand, quality, power.

Then just get some cheap hifonics amp and throw it on there. Get a monoblock, not a 2ch.

a PG 600.1 would work match up pretty nice for both those subs... all pg xenon 600.1's do 800+ watts in (1-4)ohms

thats about 400rms per sub which would be good

this will work if you are on a budget man

Also, I would prolly suggest bringing the size of the box to 1.0 cubic feet and doing a loose polyfill like HiFonics suggested.

Hifonics has a Suggestion of .5CUF with loose polyfill. So, I'm already bringing it up .25 which I will be putting more polyfill than suggested. And these are 350WRMS, would bringing it to 400WRMS each, in a sealed box, torcher them?

I have an amp that I will be using temporarily until I can get a suitable amp. It's a Splash Neon 300W MAX 2 ch. 2 OHM stable, so I'll be bringing the subs to 2OHMS to give them just a little more power for the time being.

its .5 cubes PER sub.. you said you have 2 subs. The MA audio prolly only puts out 700 rms even though it says 800 rms they tend to overrate things so you would be safe. The Neon amp you said you had prolly does a whole 75 rms x 2.

I actually looked up it .. the splash neon you have does 85 rms x 2 @ 2ohms. BUT those are single 4 ohm subs so you cant bridge it to them unless you bridged at 8 ohm. So they would have to be hooked up to each channel seperatly @ 75 rms x 2 @ 4ohm. If you bridged that amp to those subs to a 2ohm load.. it will kill that amp as its not 1ohm stable.

No, my amp is 4OHM by 2, 1 by 2 OHM. I had the manual for a while, but lost it.

this is what i found..

you are welcome to bridge it to those subs @ a 2ohm load as its your equipment.. just trying to give you the heads up.

even if you could get your full 170 rms out if your bridged power.. split between the subs thats 85 rms per sub.

The MA is rated at 800 rms @ 2ohm but lets say it puts out a realisic 700 rms @ 2ohm.. split between the subs thats 350rms per sub perfect amount for them.

If you don't like the MA audio amp let me know what kind of budget you are looking at for an amp and I can try to match one to it I don't mind trying to find you one you like.

I'm not trying to disprove you, but I had it loaded at 2ohms bridged with 2 old *** Pioneer 12's.

Also, THANK YOU! I've been looking for this page for a while, 'cause I have a friend with the 802 and wants to know the rating of it.
