Underrated RMS from factory BXi series?

[enns_aw 10+ year member]

So i will be needing an amplifier for my system soon. I need it to put out either:

800W x2 @ 2 ohms

OR

1600W x1 @ 1 ohm

Oh and that has to be RMS not peak...

I have already gone through a bunch of websites and i think that Hifonics makes the best amp suited for my needs. I was just wondering if it was the BX or BXi series that was underrated with the 1600W rating....

Thanks

popular opinion seems to be that they're over-rated if anything. At the highest, accurately rated.

the older BX series were know for being 5-15% off the rating, the Bxi seems to be more accurately rated.

from what i hear, their larger amps like the hercules and goliath are underrated, while the BXI's and BX's and whatnot are slightly overrated, if not fairly accurate.
