Echo Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 I've had my new setup for about a month now, and I can't help but feel like I can push these SA-10s harder. I currently have a Hifonics HFi1500D which claims 1500 RMS but I'm not entirely sure that's true. For my upgrade I am looking at a Hifonics BRX2400.1D, I'm not too sure about it and I was wondering if anybody has used one before or thinks that it might be too much for my setup. I've got these two 10's in a 4.2 cu box tuned @ 29 hz. Here's a video for reference... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyjEVR13x2s If anyone has any better suggestions for a new amp, I'd definitely like to hear them. I've got a budget of about $350 and I'm not loyal to any brand. All help is appreciated, thanks.
evermaxx Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 At the cleanest signal out that amp you'll maybe see 1800w so you'll be good. I had 2 10s on an aq2200. Just gotta be smart about it Team Subsonic Lows Get your garbage EMF products of my amp bitch Man....it makes a nice work bench
FocusOn20s Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 id say either the BRZ 1700 or 2100 best Hifonics line imo
duncanbullet Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 2 SA's would EAT 2000 watts all day. butttt i wouldnt push more than 1200 to each daily. things get stinky after that.

So I think I'm just gonna go with the BRX2400.1D, from what I understand evermaxx said that on a good day it's probably not gonna get over 1800. Even if it does put out what it's rated then I'll just have a bit extra to play with.
BassDoctor Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 I have limited experience with the SA 10" woofers, so take this with a grain of salt. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting 1200w to each woofer in an enclosure that large. 04 Honda Accord LX Sedan Kenwood Excelon X998 XS Power D3400 XS Power D1200 Singer 275A alternator with factory bypass 64 sqft SecondSkin Damplifier Build to be decided
SnowDrifter Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 I'd be comfortable putting a 3.5k to a pair of SAs, thermally. Mechanically, watch and listen. Don't get overzealous. Nothing wrong with running a bunch of power, just bear in mind the limits of your sub and have some restraint on your volume knob. Not too long ago I got a bit excited, jumped the gun and blew out my surround.

bbeljefe Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 Those subs can handle 1200 watts of clean power. I've run an SA-15 on 1500 watts in a t-line with no problem. Just don't send them a clipped signal. Facebook: facebook.com/audioanarchyllc Instagram: audioanarchyllc Youtube: youtube.com/bbeljefe
Nightshade Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 You are going to need a new box. The 4.2cubes you have is way too big for that much power. I guarantee that you will break the triple joints on the sub's in a box that big. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz
notorious97200 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 It can/will be louder on the meter on a regular size box, but don't expect it to be much louder to your ears. Is it worth it ? It's up to you You have a budget to find some better amps : take a look at SoundQubed, Sundown (used on db-r.com for example),... black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200. Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats. 2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a sealed box.
