OR

HIFONICS BXi-1208D

Will be running 2 Alpine Type Rs which are rated for 500 RMS each. Dont wont to go above that too much. Will be running the 2 Hifonics 1 ohm and the Audiopipe for 2. Which is Zues: 1000w, Brutus: 1200w (heard that its over rated though so my guess is about 1100), and AudioPipe: 975w.

Best amps I can come across that is below $200. If no one will say anything helpful then im just getting the audopipe simply because its like $40 cheaper than the other 2. If you can find something different that is better then go for it. BUT keep in mind...I dont want to push each sub no more than 550-600rms each. I dont feel like blowing a sub...better underpowered than overpowered.

funny thing is those subs will take 1k rms easy....if you know what you are doing...if not then the 1800 ap might be a better choice...and why you keeping it at 2 ohm...why not make it 1 ohm and use the AP18001d.

2 dual 4 ohm wired in parallel/parallel would come out to be 1 ohm.

I like the Hifonics ZXi 1010, Hifonics have been around for a long time ... plus, it's a two channel so if you decide to use it for some other system later.

Yea ive been told that many times both from people online and from a couple people at work that are into audio competitions. BUT its rated at 500 RMS and my family has a curse...you know that saying if i didnt have bad luck i wouldnt have any luck at all?...or something like that. WELL yea that is the true definition of my family lol. Knowing my luck I will hook up a good bit to it more than what its rated but within the expected rating and it will blow within 5 mins. Plus 500w RMS is more than enough for me lol. Got a 150w RMS logitech sub for my computer and it actually works for me. BUT main reason why I went with more is simply to piss off my neighbor the same amount he has pissed me off with his 8" sony subs lmao. Hate thin trailer walls...

ok...but get the dual 4 ohm subs and wire them parallel..so you get the full power out of the Audiopipe 1500...great amps...

750w rms per sub then...sooooo yea nty lol. id rather do 2 ohms instead of risking doing it at 1.

 

[cj407]

how about gettin someone who competes put it all together for you and tune the amp...then that way you cant break nothing. or else you will be underpowering the subs.

 

[Lonnie 10+ year member]

Just something about getting someone to do something that i know how ya know? Also like I said before...underpowering is better than overpowering.

I would not get the zxi1010 as it is as weak as I will make america

 

[thegreatestpenn 5,000+ posts]

meh, classifieds has many amps better than all mentioned for less. sure they're used but they'll get the job done. I can't remember who, but someone has a tsunami 1100db amp for like 135 shipped and I'd take it over any of these.

but if I had to choose, I'd say audiopipe
