simonlithen Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hey! I think I will buy one Sundown SA-8 v2 and I have been looking on amps and I find Hifonics Brutus BRZ 1700. I know this is well enough for 1 SA 8 but maby I will get one more latter. Is this AMP anything to have or should I buy something else? Looking at www.woofersetc.com and you will save 540$ right now, it sounds like a good price for me but I have no idea if this brand is good. We don´t have any reseller in Sweden so I dont think many guys have it. If you have any better suggest for the same price at that site so let me know! Thanks! /Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siucsaluki11 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Im running my BRZ1700 at 2 ohms and I'm very happy with it. Make sure your electrical can handle the current draw, no, its no monster, but 150-160A of current draw is a lot compared to what a stock system is set to handle. I have a 120A alt under the hood factory, and i had to put a Kinetik HC1400 under my hood to keep my voltage from dropping below 12.8. woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

simonlithen Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ok, what subs do you running on the amp? Im gonna get some batterys in the trunk, like 3 95ah maby and one Capacitors for the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siucsaluki11 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Don't waste money on the capacitor, especially if you're getting batteries, then its just a waste. What car is this for, what does your stock alt put out, i don't think you'll need 3 batteries for one BRZ1700. My one HC1400 and my stock alt, no big 3, is doing just fine, but with the big 3 i think my voltage will stay up higher. my subs are listed in my sig, 2 clarion PXW 1251s, dual 2 ohm subs, rated at 500w RMS, they are taking everything the BRZ can throw at them at 2 ohms. woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

Im getting it for future plans. But capacitor is good when you play tone and loses much energy at the same time? Im gonna have the Sa-8 and 2 kit of Alpine SPX-13REF in a Toyota Corolla E10 -93. I dont know what the alt puts out. Thanks for answers. Edit!: Tone is just an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siucsaluki11 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 capacitors are pointless if you have the juice you need, with 3 batteries in your trunk, a capacitor will be pointless. Look around this place, see what is said about caps, i believe theres even a thread that shows how much of a sham they are. You won't see any big builds running caps, even the guys running 3500+ wRMS...they are wastes of money. woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

simonlithen Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 The SA-8 V.2 will get enough power by that amp I wrote or should I get another? Saw one on youtube who have one SA-8 with Sundown 4500.1, I dont know wich ohm he have but if the sub can take so much power will it sound good and load on one Hifonics Brutus BRZ1700.1? Thanks!
