Sold HiFonics BX1000D

I have had this amp exactly one year as of yesterday. It is 100% functional, but has some cosmetic scratches. I'll post some pics tomorrow. Looking for $150 shipped.

I'd consider trading this amp for a set of nice 6.5" components

sorry didnt see that. Is that mono or 2 channel? and whats the specs @ 1,2 and 4 ohms? rms

 

[linvillegorge 10+ year member]

It's a mono D block.

1000wrms @ 1 ohm, I'll have to lookup the rest

 

[linvillegorge 10+ year member]

500wrms @ 2 ohms

250wrms @ 4 ohms

Do know though, that the BX line of amps from HiFonics is knows to be a bit overrated. Count on more like 800wrms from the amp at 1 ohm. It's still a great little amp, but it's probably not going to put out a true 1000wrms, though I've never had it bench tested. For the money though, it's tough to beat!

i just wish it put out 100 more at each ohm.

100w isn't going to make a lick of difference sound wise. The only difference it'll make is that you know you're putting out 100w less than you'd ideally like to be. To really start to hear a difference sound wise, you need to increase your wattage by about 50%. Doubling your wattage only nets you about 3db. So what kind of increase would you see between 800w and 900w? Nothing you could hear, an SPL mike might not even pick it up. This is assuming you want to run the amp at 1 ohm. Even if you were running it at 2 ohms, 100w isn't going to make much of a difference. The only way I'd be worried about it if I were going to be running it at 4 ohms. If you want to run an amp at 4 ohms, this is not the amp for you.

I might want it, just will wait for pics...

Do you have any refs?

Yea right now i would have to run at 4 ohm's but once i get my 2nd 12 i would run 2 ohm, but until then i need a 4ohm amp that can do 400RMS.

The only reference I have on here is Echo49287. I just bought his 2 12L7s.

Like I said, if you're looking for a 4 ohm amp, this is not the one for you. I ran it at 1 ohm and it loved it. It never once overheated or went into protect. The only problem I ever had with it was when the fuse block on my main power wire got loose. I thought the amp was dead, but it turned out the fuse just wasn't making a good connection.

What were you running at 1ohm?

 

[linvillegorge 10+ year member]

Two MA Audio 120XEs, dual 4 ohm VCs wired to a 1 ohm load. They're rated at 350wrms each. I just played it safe with the gains, kept bass boost to zero, and never got on them too hard.
