well what would be good for positive and what would be good for negative?
if there are batteries close to the amp then it could be directly to the battery.
-
how are you putting that much power to the Ib3? arent they only rated for 550rms, and there arent any options for cooling or anything.
-
do u attach the bus bar to the floor boards?
not if its the positive, and if its for a ground, the floor board isnt the best way to go

hah.. halarious. now i gotta download that song

i guess my main concern is the lanzar want't nearly enough power for my IB3 18. I am hoping the BXI has just enough more... basically I had it figured out on the volume knob where I could listen for a long period of time VS where if I listened too long the sub would get a bit warm/stinky. At that same point I noticed going any louder wouldn't actually make the sub much louder... so i think it was clipping... and if I pushed it just a bit more again I could hear a little clipping.
So guessing the sub wanted 200-400 more watts, if this hifon makes 200-400 more watts at 2 ohms as well, it should be perfect.
i only had a small 4 channel lanzar, but it got stolen and i got a 4 channel hifonics and it had so much more output. but now i have and alpine 5 channel that i like better

yup, i jus stocked sum tonight at lowes so i know they have it
what section in lowes.. i cant ever find it at mine

see now this really pisses me of, I've been amp shoping here and on ROE for at least a month or a few... and I kept getting told the hifonics do rated. I kept asking "so if the hifon does 2600 for $350 and the kicker does more than rated, but for double that, why arent the prices closer? even if a kicker does 3000... why is it double a hifon?"
and everyone said hifon does rated
now that I bought one, on ROE yesterday someone said the same shit... that they DONT!
Anyway, so the reason I switched from the AP30001D to the BXI2608D was because discrepencies in the IB3 22". On HTS it is said to have the same VD as 2 18's. So I wanted the AP for a 2ohm load. But later in the IB322 thread on HTS, it seems to be said to only have an Xmax of 30mm... same as the 18's... so VD will NOT be the same as 2 18's, as Sd of a 22 is not double the Sd of an 18... so Xmax must be higher. Then I am also told the IB3 motor wasn't strong enough, so they were bumping up to a Q motor... well that's still not over 30mm
so i decided on a pair of IB3 18's, 1 ohm load. So at the last minute my dumbass went with the BXI instead... now everone is saying it doesnt do rated, and, i got more IB3 22 info...
fuck
anyone have a perfectly good AP30001D willing to swap for a BNIB never used BXI? I haven't even received it yet... in the next 2 days. and no, not a pair of 1500's.. too much wire mess
Maybe askin in the maxxonics section on here will yeild a better answer from someone that works on them. The 200watts or so that will be missin wont be that noticable either. i would really like a definite answer on actual hifonics power too, but most ppl say its a little over rated

I'll be using a DMM and setting it to 1500 watts or less with a sine wave...
this brings me to something I've wanted to post about for a while now...
when I have my music "cranked up" and then I go to 0dB test tones, obviousely I have to turn the deck WAY down. So when I am setting my gains with the deck way up and a test tone, I can see the benifit that I will actually be using much less power, but, doesn't that waste a lot of the amp? If I have my volume 80% with a sine wave to set it, when I play music, I will have consderably less overall power in general
I wouldnt set it with just a DMM or try to do 1500watts. Its been said by almost everyone that hifonics doesnt do all its rated power. maybe ~1300. but i never tested mine with the right equipment to see if it put out rated power. even if i did i wouldn know if it was clipped or not. But using a DMM along with a clamp meter will better set the power. i found some decent clamp meters on ebay for 25 bucks.
the test tones.. it may just have to do with box tuning. music isnt always at peak frequecy. and when they put the music together it my be eq'ed low. not totally sure on that though

what i'm really wondering is how much better my bxi2608d will be rated 1500 @ 2 than my opti2000d rated 1100 @ 2 on my ib3 18 single 2 ohm. the opti had a real tough time at 2 ohms and clipped real bad
I ran a BXi1608d at two ohm before and it ran great, it shouldnt clip unless you have your settings to high
-
Its all with the efficiency of the internals. all amps are less efficient at lower ohms. so cutting the resistance in half never always assures youll double power. take the saz3000 for instance. its 800 at 4, 1600 at 2, 3000 at 1, but when you go down to .5 its only like 3500(or so ive been told).

I need a better suspension to better accomidated all the added weight in my trunk. I'm looking into coilovers, but idk what to look for in a coilover, or which brands are good. Ill probably have 400lbs added to the trunk once my setup is completed, but i need a better suspension before i can go any further on it. vehicle is a 95 accord.
Advice?

also, when your tunning mutilple batts, and a cap or 2 caps, do the batts come first then cap then the amp??
Yea battery, to cap, to amp.
the battery gives the power reserve to the cap, and the cap gives it to the amp.
But it doesnt seem like there is a use for caps when you already have another battery.

Ok well like the title says, i was just wondering if its fine to run the leads of 2 or 3 amps to one woofer terminals?? is this bad or can i damage the amps?? please lmk thanks!!!
Your amps need to be stappable, and you could hook 2 amps to one sub, use a dmm to gain match the amps and put one on each coil. But i would just strap the amps if they are capable of it.
Also i think maxxonics has something called a maxxlink, i think it match the outputs of 5 or 6 amps. but im not sure on it.

that looks good, but wat about flippin one of the series'ed sets around to have the all the negatives on the inside and two lines of positives on the outsides. are you doing 16 or only 12 like in the sketch?
