8ight Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 If you don't know which amp you want and why already you probably won't be happy with your purchase. You can let others do your thinking for you and sometimes it helps but you should be well sure you have chosen proper equipment before anything else, it eliminates a lot of headaches. I will still say: for a powerful 2-ohm amplifier I like Kicker. I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Fultz Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Exactly what part of telling someone to run their 1 ohm stable amp at .5 ohm sounds good? He clearly isn't ready for that, if he's that unsure of himself to even choose a amp to use. He even states he new to the "game". And you can rely on rise, especially on music, one minute you'll be seeing 6 ohms the next .5. Op if your wanting to run at 2 ohms pick a amp that puts out the power you want to run at 2 ohms.

Like i said, with proper electrical, running one of the two amps I listed at .5 will be fine. He may not be ready for that. But that's why I said as long as his electrical is up to par he will be fine. But if he wants to run at 2 ohms, have at it. Would be more efficient, but he will pay more for the amp.

sweendog Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I never suggested it. To most people it doesn't make sense, but I see a lot of daily systems that are holding up great below 1 ohm. I do agree for a beginner it's not a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostin302 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 OP, since your new to the "game" i wouldn't run at .5Ohm ( imo). Whats your budget like and what electrical do you already have/plan on doing for said amp? DC audio, massive, hifonics, sundown,crescendo. Are all good makers at amps. any of those and you'll be fine. I have a hifonics Brutus and beat the shit out of it and keeps on kicking just fine. for a entry level person like you, hifonics might be the way to go. just be sure to stick to the Brutus line as the other ones don't do rated power.

IndianaBassHead Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 hifonics should never be categorized with DC, Sundown, and Crescendo... lol Audio Build Ride: 2002 Chevy Blazer 4 door Head Unit: Pioneer deh-80prs Subs: 4 DC Level 3 15's in a 4th order wall designed by Trent Choate and Jeff Smith Subs Amp: AQ 3500.1 at wired at .5 (soon to be 2) Mids/Highs Amp: Skar 85.4 Mids/Highs: Skar components Electrical: Mechman 270 amp alt, 2 runs of Knu 0 gauge, XS Power d3400, 2 Deka Group 9a31 Build log : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167658-indianabasshead-blazer-dc-audio-4th-order-wall-build/ Perfomance Build 2003 Nissan 350z Greddy Twin Turbo, 3" Test pipes with Borla high-flow cats, Crawford Performance Plenum, Greddy E-manage Ultimate ECU Exedy Racing Clutch, Built Motor by Racing Innovations Greddy Over-fender aero kit (1 of 20 ever made), 19" Racing Hart r5 pro wheels 466rwhp Bike 2008 Midnight Blue Kawasaki ZX-14 Stretched 8" and lowered, Brocks Sidewinder exhaust, Power Commander 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostin302 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 maybe in your book, it inst but in mine, i'll put the Brutus in there. best bang for the buck and for entry level, its probable the best way to go and as i stated, imo.

sweendog Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Not a bad amp, but I think you could do better for the money by going used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
