For only $240 ???

This seems like a great deal, doesn't it? I was gonna get a 1606d, but now that I've seen this deal I think I may get the 2400d instead.

What do you guys think?

Oh ya what does this do at 1 ohm?

THanks!

it doesnt say its 1ohm stable, i would just go with a hifonics 2006D if it was me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hafta stay at budget of $250, Hifonics 2006D is just too much $$$

I know the Directed Audio makes a 2400D that is 1 ohm stable, but I'm not sure if this is the right version/year.

It does say 1ohm in the description above, but not in the specs.

I think the 2400ds were two 1100ds strapped but on the same board. I'm not positive on that but I remember reading it somewhere. I have seen 1100ds do .5 ohms daily and I would guess this could handle it with proper cooling.

The only problem here would be it being refurbished. I have a refurbished 1500d that lasted about 4 months before the RCA inputs quit working and then only lasted about a month after that before it started eating fuses.

Thanks for info, it's probably only gonna be at 1/4 gain since it will be pushing (2) 12" type R's. But some of those defects you talk about are probably not from stress, but from bad refurbish quality.

I have read that it wasnt a good idea to run them at 1ohm.

i think its the newer DEI amps that are rated for 1 ohm also.

the r's will take the whole load of that amp, and then some......

they're grossly underrated, and def. overrated efficiency

Well since I have the Dual 4hom type R's I can only do 1 ohm or 4 ohm and at 4 ohm the amp will push out 1400watt rms.

How will 1400watt rms @ 4ohm from the Directed Audio 2500D compare to the 1600watt rms @ 1 ohm from th e hifonics 1606D?

I've heard the Directed Audio may be more true in power then the hifonics.

What do you think?

no way if I forced the amp at 2400watts @ 1ohm they would get 1300rms each?!!?

or was that comment for the type R's getting the 1400watt rms @ 4 ohms?

how much are you looking to send each sub? and im guessing 250+sh is your pricerange.

honestly you are not gonna hear any difference whatsoever if you ran the directed at 4ohms as compared to the hifonics

Yes, $250ish is where I want to stay at for my budget and I want to give each sub somewhere around 700-900 watts rms., they are in 2.5cubes each

They are going in this box...

I just bought a nice router last night and plan on routing al the edges and then doing a professional type gloss black paint job on it.

hmm, then the 2400D would be a better amp since it will give the option of upgrading later.

You think you could run (4) Type R's off of this 2400D at 2ohms?

that would be nice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
