So I got my new amp today, Hifonics ZXi150.4. it's 150w per channel at 4 ohms, 300 at 2 ohms. Sadly, it does not seem sufficiently louder than my Infinity 475a. Also, the noise floor seems even higher; i have the gains at about 6/10 and the white noise is audible (when music turned off) even when the engine is running. Speakers are alpine type R for the front and type S for the back. So it's not like the speakers are watt hogs or anything. And i'm using all 14 gauge speaker wire.

What the hell am I going to have to do? Run 5 speakers in each door with a Kicker Warhorse powering each speaker?

Is there anybody on this forum that has the same insatiable need for loudness as me that has had any luck solving this problem?

haha i know. but the amp is CEA rated... supposed to be putting out true wattage. i doubled my output at 4 ohms, and more than tripled my output at 2. it was the "loudest" 4 channel amp on the market i could find for less than $700.

what should i do?

I told you what to do. Go buy an old school Hifonics amp Maybe a series Vii or Viii.... Guarantee it will be louder and much better sound quality than anything you have run....

i can't really buy from classifieds right now because all i have no deal with is a credit card. and that amp is 100 watts at 4 and 200 at 2, i'm looking for a little but more power than that
