Personally i have been having bad luck wit hiphonics amps... and they seem to be in for repair more than other brands but great if u dont got ne cash... just dont expect it to last... also if u get the bxi1206d make sure and u read the owners manual... it doesnt say it on ne site but the amp cant be run at 1 ohm if u got 2 subs... this is the only amp i heard of doin this.. i got that amp and blew it cuz i didnt know this but if u gonna run 2 subs off this bxi1206d u gotta run them at 2 ohms min .... i recomend goin with a rock ford fosgate amp get one from an online ebay store for 1/3 the price... and u get some warranty... if u got a local car audio shop some run tests on it and then they will sell u warranty on it if it passes their tests... if not... send it back and get ur money back

i dont know what you've been doing to your amps, buy I've been using hifonics for a couple of years now w/ not a single problem. I have had 3 different ones, and even ran my 2006d @ .5 ohm for a short while w/ no problem whatsoever.

Its now running my XXX 15 @ full tilt w/o heating up, or going into protect or anything.

A few friends have also used them since they are so cheap, again, w/o a single problem. Maybe if you buy used, and abused, problems pop up, but as long as they're taken care of, they are very reliable.

So if I run say a 15"XXX at 1 Ohm it isn't 1 Ohm stable? I think we have people here doing it okay like JohnnyBusa //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

its 1 ohm stable....he's talking about his 1200d amp, not the 2006d....and he's running 2 subs, not 1 like us.

You, sir, are an idiot. Your amp can't tell the difference in one sub and a billion subs if the impedance comes out to 1 ohm either way.

also...what subs do you have and what ohm are they. if they are 2 ohm dvc subs, and you could have them wired to 0.5 ohm load......that could be your problem there.......you would have to wire them for a 2 ohm load.
