New Amp Time (Dual 2 Ohm 12" Type R)

[then00b 10+ year member]

Hey all, my Directed 1500D from ikesound is acting up now and blowing fuse upon fuse after I turn the volume up in my system so I guess its time for a new amp. I am looking to run this new mono amp at 1 ohm, so I need an amp stable at that. I am trying to get around 900-1000 watts out to my Dual 2 ohm Type R sub.

Any recommendations would be great. As far as budget goes, I am trying to spend no more than $250 if possible.

Thanks.

(If it matters, which I am pretty sure it doesnt, I am running this amp to my sub and then a two channel to my front speakers)

Keep the gain down??

NiNe.1 would be sweet or you can save a little money going the Hifonics route.

I was recommended Hifonics as well when I was looking at the Directed 1500d. Arent they known to blow often or have reliability options? Any specific model numbers I should look at?

I am trying to buy new if possible as well.

As far as the gains being down, they are like 1/2-3/4 the way up on the Directed.

Thanks!

I had a Hifonics Amp, worked great never had a problem with it.

I meant on the Nine.1 cuz it says it can do 1200W and you don't need that much really... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Gotcha, Thanks.

What about the Hifonics BXi 1206D? I was looking at it and assumed I could just turn the gains down a little, correct? It is going for about $250 shipped brand new online and on ebay.

Any word on it?

US Amps XT2000D

Where can I find that amp? A google search only brings up forum classifieds, Id like to buy it new preferably (is it a Discontinued amp?)?

I was just about to order the Hifonics.

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion but I am just going to buy the Hifonics since I was planning on buying it initially and dont want to have to look around for the US Amps one.

Thanks everyone, should be buying soon or asap.
