Babyjuice Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 so I'm going from 1 powerbass 2xl 12 sealed powered by a kenwood kac 8104d to 2 re sex 10s sealed possibly powered by a hifonics 1600(after reading about the 20% overrated power I'm skeptical) my question is...am I going to see a big difference in amount of bass between the 2 setups? This is all going in an f250, with stock electrical for now besides a bigger battery up front, soon to get another battery and ho alternater. The box is 1.35cuft give or take a .ox replacing my center console/seat subs are 1 firing down and 1 firing back Quote BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XX7R Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Two 10's have a little more cone area than one 12 so id say yeah. Plus it sounds like the your stepping up in power. Which hifonics amp are you lookin at?

Babyjuice Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Its either the brutus 1700 or 2100 I'm thinking if I go with a hifonics amp ill get the 2100 to be a little closer to the actual rated power the subs need Quote BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XX7R Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ive heard pretty good things about the BRZ series amps but stay away from the hifi amps. Not good..

XX7R Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 If i were you i wouldnt run 2krms to two 600 rms rated subs. Thats overpowering them by a little much.

Babyjuice Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Well I was planning on running them at 2ohms which would be 1400wrms and if I did my math right after taking off 20% of the over rated power they throw on it should be around 1120wrms? And I can't get audioque because I have to go through a shop because my dad is paying for it and he wants the warranty and he's old school and doesn't like the whole buying off the internet thing....if you want the shop I'm buying it from is called advanced audio creations in garden grove california and theyhave a website with the products they sell and you could check on there to see what else you might better suggest...sorry I'm on mobile so I can't really post a link to it :/ Edited March 20, 2011 by Babyjuice Quote BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your looking for a nice amp that has a low price tag look at this http://www.audioque.com/AQ1200D-Amplifier_p_30.html There's nothing wrong at all with having too much power on tap...you don't need to use all of it. People normally blow subs because they don't have enough clean power available, try to push the amp harder than it's capable of, and send dirty power at the sub.
