boltdbz Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 So in a couple of weeks I'm getting a new t1 12 and building a box for it. The only thing I have yet to decide is what amplifier to power it with. Suggestions? I was originally thinking a hifonics brz1700, but I'm thinking I might want to run my system at 2 or even 4 ohms instead of 1 ohm; that being the case should I be looking for more wattage?
Nick580 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 You cannot go wrong with the BRZ series from Hifonics. I personally own two 2400.1D and they have never let me down. If the 1700 is not enough you might consider the 2400. At least you would have room to expand in the future.

I wanted to get the 1700 originally and run it at 1 ohm and be using the full potential of the amp. Now I'm thinking I want my system to run at 2 ohms, mostly for SQ purposes. The decision I need to make is whether I should upgrade the amp in order to get the appropriate wattage at 2 ohms, or stick with the 1700; what would you do
MrSkippyJ Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 Are you sticking with the HiFonics amps either way? F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69
boltdbz Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Posted February 18, 2013 Are you sticking with the HiFonics amps either way? Not necessarily, but they're supposed to be pretty solid amplifiers (the Brutus line, anyway) and for the price they're hard to beat
MrSkippyJ Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 I wouldn't try to talk you out of them, I haven't used them. I was only going to mention it probably isn't worth spending the extra money to run at 2ohms (for SQ reasons) with most amps and installs.

I just ordered the BRZ2100; I decided I'm going to get another t1 down the road, I'll need the extra watts

I actually ran the brz 1700 with that Rockford t1 at 2ohms and it rocks pretty good, but i changed to Skar totally night and day, I would not waste money on 2nd T1 better getting Skar, PSI or Sundown for the money and better bass
boltdbz Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Posted February 19, 2013 Are you saying you switched to a Skar sub or amp?
