07 brutus amps are the same internally as 08's.

my 2607's both make rated power at 2 ohms (~1700 watts). I can't say for sure that they do at 1 ohm, and db-r said that they are a solid 2kw amp @ 1ohm and he's not sure why they rate it at 2600.

So basically a 2607-2608 can definitely do a solid 1600+ @ 2 ohms, and 2kw @ 1 ohm. Sounds like a zx1500.1 if you ask me in terms of output (except gauranteed to be 1 ohm stable vs the kicker's which are hit or miss, more often miss it seems like). For like 350 bucks shipped bnib w/warranty...how much does that cost on a zx1500.1? more like 450-500 iirc.

thanks for the help

it won't hurt going with a 2008, just set the gains a little lower if you have to.

Wrong!

Say he has a shitty electrical and adding those extra watts could make more stress on his system.

Not to mention to save money, unless he was going to upgrade, then that is understandable.

Why get the extra watts though if you don't plan to upgrade, which he didn't mention, I don't think.

An amp capable of making 1000 watts will make 500 watts cleaner and more efficiently than an amp capable of making 500 watts...It works opposite to what you are suggesting.

Except for the electrical system part. Hondas generally have crappy electrical. I can't speak for an Accord, but the biggest alternator I have found for my 97 Civic was 180 amps and the alternator will run me about $400. Oddly, that is about the same price Honda charges for the stock one....

Efficiency is based on ohm load, so whichever amp he gets will still be running at a 1 ohm load which the amps are least efficient.

What I'm referring to implies that a bigger amp being run at the same power would be easier on your electrical, or at least much easier on the amp.

Efficiency is based on ohm load, so whichever amp he gets will still be running at a 1 ohm load which the amps are least efficient.

I'm talking about the capability of the amp vs what you are asking of it. the same way a sub will gain less and less by increasing power when it gets near it's full potential, an amp will become less and less efficient and distortion rises as it reaches it's full potential. If an amp is capable of making 10kw @ 1 ohm, it could probably make 1kw @ 1 ohm @ as low of a voltage as will keep it from turning off. It won't make 10kw @ 1 ohm @ 10 volts, but it should easily make 2k (some amp have been tested to actually put out a good majority of their rated power even at 10-11 volts as well)

Actually most amplifiers are most efficient at full output at whatever given load. But i see what you are saying

I dont mean to be argumentative, but could you explain that? Cuz i'm just not seein anyway it could possibly be more efficient at full output than at a lower percentage of it's potential, please inform me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well i alrede have a box in my car... dont know the specs or anything though. Im just gonna hook them up and see how they sound. Will have to keep in touch on our systems.

I am in college now and im just trying to get a better setup than before. Dont plan on upgrading ANY time soon.

 

[*Honda*Bass* 10+ year member]

curious though guys...what size box do you recommend? Ported or sealed?

 

[*Honda*Bass* 10+ year member]

For 2 12" Reaudio SE's with a 1608D^^^^^^^^
