grayc94 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 I bought a Hifonics HFI 1000 class D amplifier that puts out 475 watts at 4 ohms and 750 watts at 2 ohms. I bought that to power a Hifoncis HFX 800 Watt subwoofer that is 400 watts at 4 ohms(also it only costed $30). In the first 20 minutes of listening to it the sub stopped hitting and there was a burning smell. I pulled over and smoke was pouring out of the port. When I pulled the sub out the wiring looked in good shape so I sent the sub back to be returned. On the same amp what sub do you suggest I get to run off that amp?
dkahns51 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 I suggest checking your electrical, checking your gain setting before even th inking about a new sub.. Also dont play clipped music. **Clicky>>My 2009 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Buildlog<<Clicky** I'm messing up 98% of the time
PowerHouse407 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 yeah the hifi series is a entry level series from a entry level company per say. so i would be careful with the gain and bass boost. but if you get a clean signal from the head unit and amp a Audioque SDC2.5 series woofer or a sundown SA would perform well on 750 rms thats if the amp even supply's that. And for one speaker i would try to get a 15" for more cone area! 2003 VW Jetta Wagon AA Mayhem 15's Flatline BA2 2 XS D3100's in rear Shuriken BT80 under hood Mike Singer 250A SHCA and KnuKonceptz wire Big 4+ AQ / Dayton pro mids+monsoon tweets My Build : http://www.stevemead...35#entry1989435
