Hodges Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I need to power this Kicker Solo X 18" I just got on trade and I was looking at $1000 5000watt amps and decided im not ready to spend that on a amp.. So I was wondering if I buy two HIFONICS BXI2608D's 2600watt amps if they will be enough to get this Solo X moving? I'm not sure what these new Hifonics amps will put out but if its about 2000watts each then I think that will be enough..What do you think??

EricM9104 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 From what I've heard, I wouldn't reccomend 5,000+w RMS to a Kicker Solo X 18" daily, 5,000w RMS+ would be fine for burps though.

Hodges Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'm well aware of the specs for the 18" Solo X.... Please tell me more because im totally new to this sub.. So they have issues with running there rated power? How about using a Sundown SAZ-3000D for pushing it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 i'd go with the sundown before i'd go with the hifonics personally. if you got rid of the sub you still have a hell of an amp to use for anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodges Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) I guess I will go that route then.. I assume the Sundown SAZ-3000D refurb for $700 is a good deal even though its a refurb it still should be in tip top shape correct??..I plan on eventually selling the Solo X 18" and getting 2 fully loaded 18" BTL's into a 1 ohm load, or 3 RE SX 15"s into a 1.34 ohm load, so will that same Sundown amp be a good choice for them as well? Thanks guys.. Edited March 25, 2008 by Hodges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
