Not sure what amp to use.

I need an amp for a single FI SSD 12. I was thinking going with a Hifonics BRX1200.1D or even the 1100.1D.. Not sure if their Brutus line is any good. If not any ideas for a good amp in the 1000-1200 RMS at 1 ohm range? Didn't like the fact that it only takes 4 AWG either but I guess it's not a big deal. I'd like a cheaper one but don't want an amp that's gonna burn out and me have to buy another. Any help us appreciated.

I wouldn't go with the BRX. I made that choice a few months back and then sent it back and got a Soundqubed amp. Way more effiecient, cleaner, louder..

Look into Soundqubed, Crescendo, Sundown, etc.. Too many choices out there. What's your budget?

I'd rather not spend more than 300 on an amp if possible...

For 1200 watts your best bet is soundqubed q-1200d for 269 plus Shipping or look at the used market, american bass vfl 100 are common and do 1k for cheap. Also have the rockford fosgate prime 1200 watt amp that can be found for 220ish. Good luck

Soundqubed is on backorder until the end of the month. Would a DC audio 1.2 K be alright?

Yeah DC amps are nice, also check out the Sundown SAE 1000d.

1200 W @ 2.51 Ohms after rise (1.0)

1540 W @ 1.68 Ohms after rise (.5)

Thinking about picking one up for my F-150 build..

after rise? in what?

That's all the info that was given on SSA's website. Even on EMF and Sundown page they don't list any details. EMF does have pictures of it on the dyno. So I'm not sure what they were testing in for those rating..

Wasn't the lightning audio amps recently tested and they do over rated?

Either way I work at a RF dealer and can tell you the prime 1200 is am awesome amp. 1200 x 1 @1ohm, does rated and has a high efficiency (around 90%). Great little amp for the price.
