Guest Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 that amp doesnt do rated, the whole HFI line is shit. and that bass knob is a bass boost knob, not a gain control knob. the "best" bang for your buck would be an audiopipe ap1500, caraudiodeals has them for like 150 or something. and just an fyi, you arent going to get quality equipment unless you step your budget up. just throwing that out there.

kam311 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 No the hifi line are known to be underrated, I personally havnt tried one but I trust the clamp tests that I've seen. The Brutus line are better for sure Quote so far...

bass_stalker Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 yeah he meant the audio pipe. as for the hifi line it is over rated. the brutus will do rated though.

Guest Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) under rated as in says 1000w rms but does like 850rms.... or says 1000w n does 1200w @ 14-16v cuz the first post says they are shit and doesnt do rated but your saying clamped they are under rated..... hmmm n ill definitly look into the ap1500 i think he means over rated. the two terms sometimes get confused. if he said the brutus line is better, then he meant over rated, not under rated. and yes thats the link im talking about. its not the worst amp, but its far from the best.

CleanSierra Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 also, you need to figure out how youre gonna get any power out of the amp(whichever amp you choose) with TWO subs connected. you have a dual 2 ohm sub now yes? adding another will bring you to a final ohm load .5 ohms, 2 ohms, or 8 ohms. so whichever amp you choose needs to put out STOUT power at 2 ohms, or you need to swap the current sub out for a Dual 4 ohm coil setup(or dual 1's). Dual 4 VC's will wire to a final load of 1 ohm and that's the likely configuration you'll want with a 1 ohm stable amp. hope my post wasn't too confusing.

extremeauto Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 i would stay away from the hifi ...hifonics is really good but there hifi does NOT do rated power and has no resale value....honestly thats not a very good deal check out amzon or sonic ...the reason i say all this bad is cause i have a hifi and it dont hold a candle to a brz or bxi hifonics amp Quote 1995 Honda passport 3.2 4x4 Frankenstein on a budget ballistics sound deader (roof only so far) kenwood mp3 usb audio control 3 (upgrading) hifonics mx-3 3 sets of massive px5 5.25s 3 sets of massive tweets phonix gold 5.25 componets x2 massive nx4 nano 200x4 mids sony xplod 600x4 watt high's 2 Fi bl fully loaded box walled @31ish hz 13.2 cube box/wall massive DB8000 Excessive amaperge 250 amp alt wir extrnl regulator daul runs of xs power xpflex 0 gauge big 3 raptor 0 gauge power/ground wire full run suriken 45 amp hour x3 shriken bt-120 batts,interstate 1100CA semi batt scytek galaxy 2way alarm still upgradeing!
