AB18VFL Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 right now i'm running an american bass 100.1. its rated at 1500watts but im pretty sure its overrated. it only has 120amps of fusing. im looking to upgrade to an amp that will do a LEGIT 1500-2000 watts, without being more than 400 bucks. i will be using a stock alternator, so im not looking for more than 2k rms. How are the Hifonics Brutus amps? they seem pretty good for the money. any suggestions? Quote SUBSCRIBE AT YOUTUBE! 18abVFL < CLICK!! 2005 Subaru Impreza My build log.

lem43606 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 stock alt should be ok... just do big 3 upgrade and get a secondary battery... also look into Crescendo BC2000 they are 339.99 shipped pretty good price!

Ballen194 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 im running the brz2400.1. they do rated. go for the brutus line. would that be alright with a stock alternator do you think? the brz2400? id try an upgrade. but right now im running stock alt with upgraded wet cell and still lots of dimming. id atleast upgrade the battery to a yellowtop which is upcoming on my next purchase.

To be honest stay away from the optimas... you can order batteries through many of the vendors on this website...

I had two on sc lvl 4 18s w 5 coils and it pushed em to the point of getting smelly quite a bit on good clean power lol im guessing this was probably before they were made in korea. yeah mine def didnt do any 1800watts. it was more than enough power for what i had, but not nearly enough for the subs I plan on getting.
