3200rms for $220 bucks

[Cuseikan]

I was browsing sonix's cyber Monday deals and came across this amp. Highly doubtful if it even puts out close to 3200rms since it only has 150amp worth of fuses, and a single 4awg power input. It would be a pretty decent deal if it did close to 2krms (big maybe).

My question is has anyone had any experience with this amp, or brand. I've been looking online for some reviews and nothing has come up. i'm looking for 1600rms+ amp just to mess around with and figured this would be o.k for the price. it would be even better if I could get some insight from someone that has had some hands on with it. It will be powering 2x 15" l7

• RMS Power Rating:
  
  • 4 ohms: 1700 watts x 1 chan.
    
  • 2 ohms: 2500 watts x 1 chan.
    
  • 1 ohm: 3200 watts x 1 chan.

well, Since there are no on-line manuals for that amp, and that considering the 150amp rating, and the link for the RMA form on their site doesnt work and wen i ran their support email address through http://tools.email-checker.com/ and it said it was a bad address..

i think i would stay away from them

edit,

i ran it through a different email checker thing and it came back ok,

I would still be hesistant . lol

It´s 150 amp fusing that´s around 1500 watt´s RMS.

Have more trustage to these offers http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HIFONICS-ZRX20001D-2000W-CLASS-D-MONO-CAR-AUDIO-AMPLIFIER-AMP-ZRX-2000-1D-/280988079186?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item416c31d452 http://www.ebay.com/itm/290778323734?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I thought the brutus line "BRZ" was the only hifonics line that was worth a damn? Maybe i am wrong.

[BassHead1990]

so you take the fuse rating and multiply the voltage to get to the wattage?

30*5= 150*12= 1800wrms / 30*5= 150*14.4= 2160 ??

...And why would they do 5 30A instead of like 3 50A or 2 75A maybe that has a factor to do with the amount of continuous power is stable stead the blow power is low on each fuse....?

[Jessica]

so you take the fuse rating and multiply the voltage to get to the wattage?

subtract 20% from that and you should be close.

edit

Look at the sundown 1500.1, 150a fuse rating, 14.4v =2160 - 20% = 1760.

And the sundown 1500.1 will do 1700ish watts

Ya there seems to be a fair amount of negatives building up behind this amp.

Thanks "watch the bass" I completely forgot about the zrx line. I remember a few people that ran them and they were pretty happy. That will fit the bill for my thrown together daily.

I've had my eye on that amp for a while but never known wether it would be worth it.

Heres a link to the top monoblock of the old range. You can find reviews of it on that page, and i guess it would be largely similiar to the new one.

http://www.sonicelec...RLA5500-1D.html

Actually preferred the look of the old one, and the old one had 200a worth of fuses.

Edit: Just noticed the old one also had dual power/ground inputs. Old one seems miles better then the new one.

Double Edit:

Pretty sure these amps use the same internals as some other amps, one i can think of is the Power Acoustic amplifier. For example.

This

Looks strangely the same, also has the same (apparently) power output as that amplifier.

Also, it might be on sale but your not actually saving "329.96" as its always on sale for around 250.

You're right, the older model seems to be miles better then the newer one. It does have a fair amount of positive reviews. A few of the reviews are stating the older model is capable of running .5ohms. I'm curious as too how much it is putting out at .5 and what the current pull is when running that low.

I wouldn't mind picking up the amp to get some hands on with it and put out a decent review since it does bring some attention due to its price per watt. But there is just too many negatives behind the new GLA1. I know sonix has a pretty decent return/exchange policy. I just wouldn't want to roll the dice on powering up the amp and smoking it due to the unknown build quality.

Edit for your edit: (lol)

ya the sonix sale isn't a true cyber monday sale. A lot of the prices are the same as they were before the sale. I was looking at picking up a alarm for my car through them and it is on their so called "cyber monday sale" but it is exactly the same price as it was a week ago lol

[BobbyG2]

Lol, it has the same fuse rating as my SAE 1200
