Good amp for Type R?

Ive never owned them but Im pretty sure people are overpowering those R's all day everyday and they like it.

It's not that they are overpowered, it's that they are underrated:naughty:

Opinions on Hifonics quality? Thinking of picking one up myself for some cheap power. Do these amps actually put out what they are rated at? I Found one rated @1100watts@2, for $230. Looks like a good to me. Are these all they are cracked up to be?

no, they are all overrated. good amps but that one most likely wont put out 1000 watts.

Heres an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-BXi1606D-CLASS-D-AMP-1600-WATT-NEW_W0QQitemZ9743019921QQihZ008QQcategoryZ18797QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Is this in your opnion still worth the price? Any other suggestions for 1000 watts of cheap power?

I bought a Hifonics amp from and ran it at 1 ohm all day long and it lasted for over a year. It was a Nemesis NX750d. I bought a BX1500d from ikesound and it blew up within a week. Ever since then I switched to an Orion 1200d and couldn't be happier //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Side note: I know of 2 people running Hifonics and both are having good luck. One is running a 1000d and has been for 2 years or so, and another has a 1605 and after RMA'ing a DOA, his has run fine for a couple months now.

Dude do not replace that Fosgate with a Hifonics. The fosgate is in a whole other leauge than Hifonics. I've owned 2 Hifonics amps. Both gave me great results. They are a great budget amp. But never would I switch out a fosgate for a hifonics.

Funny, I'm planning on buying a Hifonics BXi 1606D for my two Diamond D6's.

Any suggestions for a replacement?

I doubt this is worth getting fixed:

Ouch it's blown. I thought you were still using it. If you don't have enough dough for a better amp, than a Hifonics will be fine.
