Hifonics BRZ1700.1d?


AB18VFL

Recommended Posts

I own one. Very happy with it. Pushes my fully loaded fi bl 18 very good. Running it off a 13.8v change system big 3 and 138a alt only. Doesn't get warm even after hours untill you send it into distortion and or clipping. Very impressed so far with it had for 2 weeks

And I don't get how they are power hungry. My voltage barely even drops full tilt at 35/45 volume which it's as loud as I will go for daily

I'm now up to 4 of the BXI-1608ds. So- 4 years old, no issues.

Like anything, you have to know what you have and know what to do with it. Just like HatersGonnaHate said, feed them good power and they will send good power to your woofas.

I'm just saying. I have done about 20 installs in my time so I know what I am doing when it comes to hooking up amps. Definately not user error.

The ear-o-meter? Never heard of it. I have heard the difference between 500rms, 1000rms, 1500 rms, and so on up to about 5000rms.

I know the amp wasn't pushing 1700. Ya sure it could have been a bad amp from the factory. But two of them? Come on.

Read the reviews. It is a good amp for the money don't get me wrong. However, keep in mind you get what you pay for.

You have absolutely no idea what you're doing. And to further prove my point, you openly admit to using the earometer. Your methods, logic, and experience are seriously flawed, which makes me curious about these 20 installs.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

I've heard 2 18's on 250 watts that sounded like it was being pushed by 2500 watts. The ear-o-meter doesn't mean shit. I'm still sticking by my initial statement that if you smoked the amp on install, it was either a bad amp to begin with or user error.

I owned a hifonics 1200 does rated until I put it to the DD-1. Then the gain could only go up I'd say about 1/3 then it distorted and no bass boost. Before it was like 1/2 way up and near max bass boost, plus its not the most efficient amp. The skar 1500 I have now destroys the hifonics amp.

I find that hard to believe. However, impressive if true..

Back to the point.. You get what you pay for.. I have had a bad experience with Hifonics. Just my two cents..

If you do go with Hifonics, just stay away from the newish HFI line..... They suck lol
