Kranny Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Post in amp section for more answers... wow dick much? thats not really gonna help. general audio is the most visited sub forum anyway. OP, i have no experience with this amp, but it always baffles me how hifonics and maxxsonics in general have like 5 different lines of amps that all pretty much have the same power ratings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonT94 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 so is it worth buying or should i go with something different I've heard that Hifonics does close to their power rating i have my subs down to one ohm and they can handle 1600 total max what should i go with?

siucsaluki11 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) i was happy with by BRZ1700.1D till it shit out on me (my fault, didn't have the electrical for it, replacement is here, but its sitting in the box in the living room, waiting for my HC1400 and wire for the big 3 to get here first.... also, max power means nothing, look at the RMS ratings, and match those. Don't think your subs MAX rating will take that hifonics RMS rating. you'll have pretty expensive paperweights pretty soon.

BrandonT94 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 the ZRX1500.1 says it does 1500 rms at 1 ohm how accurate is this or should i get a different amp with a lower rms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siucsaluki11 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 what will your subs handle? what kind are they, how many voice coils, what configuration, how many subs.

teamace24 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 The box and subs will be much more important than the amp in this case. The amp is fine as long as you match it with two subs that are not 1000rms each +. Find some subs that are efficient and have a 500-750rms each rating build a big ported box and this amp will be fine set right. Look in to the audiopipe 1500 new, mb quart 1500 new or used aq 1200 used also if they are cheaper and all will perform similarily. Have my Audiopipe for 3 years playing hard never gets hot and powers some strong subs just fine.

Chris Hammer Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Ive never understood why hifonics has 3-4 amps all near same rating. That being said I know the BRZ line does rated or close. Also I am pretty sure the HFI line has been shown to not do rated power. But I havent really seen anyting on the Zues 1500...I dont thin I have ssen one person on here running it. But for 160$ if it does near rated or even over 1200wrms than its a pretty good deal. You should look into Sundown SD12's or 15's I think they would be perfect for 1200-1500wrms .
