Ian Stith Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Just wondering, has anyone ever had any experience with HIFONICS? is the quality of two HIFONICS HFX12d4 be comparable? i know the quality of build on terminals inst even comparable, but as i said the ride wont be used much also, it wont be shown to anyone who would know any brand comparisons.

Watch the bass Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) lol at suggesting running 1500w through 600w worth of subs. get a smaller amp, obviously. you of all people should know not to run that much power to small subs. especially to someone who doesn't know that much. Wow Kranny, your answer to a 29 post noob, me. There more post´s of you in this style, in the last times. That is like the big 12 K post Kranny, tell the "I know alot, but have only time to spit about the other posts and , till another SMD member give you the right guess and maby i give a blessing on this if i want. Thats superficial, unperceptive and a little arrogant. Have this to be in this form from you? I try to do it better and give a 2nd guess. To the Op, on your side i would take a 15 from the IVX D 4 subs and run him on http://www.ebay.com/...499%2520W&rt=nc a Alpine MRP 450. There is one for 65 $ and if you want + 11 for warranty and another in auction. I guess you the 15 in case of the more conearea = louder. Build a proper box and your brother will have a nice substage for near 200 buck´s.

Yes I got two HIFONICS HFX12d4 in my daughters car on a Rockford 800.2 and they handle the power fine since they are rated at 400 rms. you cant beat the price on them either 35.00 shipped each. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251015611042?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_701wt_1396 Quote (NEW) 2004 F-150 Build Log -->http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/192208-hotdogs-f-150-build-log/ 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Build Log --> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/114380-hotdogs-2003-mountaineer-build-log-20-removed/page__gopid__1602379#entry1602379 2008 Equinox Build Log --> http://www.stevemead...g/#entry1475764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95legwagon Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 if you get an amp... that alternator is only puttin out 85-95 amps MAX...... at least half of that is used to run the car..... voltage drop happens really easy on our subarus.... im running a sony xplod 1000w amp that doesnt put out much in the way of rms wattage and i had voltage drop down to close to 10 volts. just something to think about..... i ended up with 3 batteries all together with 4 gauge for the amps and the big 3 as well as all the grounds in the engine compartment sanded down to bare metal and re-attached because subaru likes to paint the car before attaching the grounds so all are very poor grounds. i can easily run a higher wattage amp now as i have no voltage drop what so ever. also if its a wagon you will hate the roof rattle.....its horrible. these cars can get loud on not alot of power also ( well the wagons can) Quote i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

I had 1700 rated watts on my stock alt before I bought my singer (Subaru outback 2003 2.5l) and dropped to 13v at idle, 13.9 moving. You must have had a bad ground or a loose connection because our cars actually have pretty solid voltage with the big 3 upgraded. Anyways, OP: look for an amp that has just about the rms rating of your sub or a little more. The reason I say this is because I'm going to take a shot in the dark and assume you do not own a DD-1 or O-scope to tune your amp, making it very simple to clip your equipment. When you get into the clipping realm, then add overpowering to the mix, you are lucky not to blow equipment. Look for something reputable in the 250-500 watt rms range and you should be golden on that ivx, I wouldn't go any higher power wise without knowing its clean power.
