Hifonics GLX1400.1D clamp test?

[G-Rad]

My cousin and I have been working on a 2007 Ford Focus and right now I have a decent rig going. But, I want to know what the amp I'm u sing to push my 2 MTX Thunder T7512-04's is really doing. Has anyone clamped a Hifonics Gladiator GLX1400.1D? Right now the amp is running at 2 ohms, and says it does 1,000 RMS x1 @ 2 Ohms. However, these MTX 12's are fairly loud, but are barely moving. (The woofers are actually still quite stiff). This is why I wonder what the amp is really doing. If anyone has tested this, please let me know. Thank you.

This is from sonicelectronix.com so seeing its total rms is 1000 and it has 2x70amp fuses I would guess its probly only pushing 500wrms total to both subs. So each may be getting 250-300rms on a good day with great electrical since hifonics likes a lot of power. No I have not done a clamp I'm just using the info from sonic and the fact that that line of hifonics does not do rated power.

The general rule of thumb is 10a for every 100w, so 2 70a fuses = 140a, amp does 1400 RMS, so I"d have to guess that it's probably not doing exactly that since there is drop and everything in voltage. I'd be happy to see if it even does 800 at 2 ohms. But 500 is rather low IMHO, but then again, I wouldn't be surprised. It's not a BRX or BRE series.

Most of the hifonics that have been tested have been the BRZ or BRX line and yes they do rated but are power hungry like a SOB. the gladiator line i have heard does not do rated and puts out dirty power. But if you want to know you can see send it to some one with a AD-1 and have them test it for ya.

Well you've heard wrong

We'll facts are facts from what sonic said any way. 1000wrms at 2ohms and 1000wrms total output so to me that means 1000wrms at 1ohm thus it should be about 500 at 2ohms. I just don't understand why it would say 1400wrms at 1ohm then say 1000 rms max

This amp says it's CEA compliant, so I would expect to see dirty power for the last 100-250 watts or so. I'd have to assume it's underrated by that factor in clean wattage.

The last hifonics amp thst went on the dyno didnt do rated but yet every person thst ran it still found a way to try ro justify it. Oh look at 15.8 volts and in uncertified burst mode it barely made rated power

[n8ball2013]

Also cea compliant doesnt mean much. They dont test every amp or line that comes out

Steve tested a Crunch DRA1150.2 that had 70 amps of fusing and only did 200 something watts. Crunch is made my MaxxSonics. Guess who makes HiFonics???
