chetrog Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I have a hifonics amp that is 1200 watts @1ohm and its 900 watts @900. I am using 900 watts on my truck rite now and have no issues. If I use 1200 watts, I do notice my lights dim a little bit. So I just use it at @2 ohm. I want to buy a new budget amp. I am going to make a new box with new cheap subs in a month or so. I want to get an alternative and spend alot of money on better stuff, but rite now I want a new amp. I would like to purchase something that will give me around 2000 watts @1ohm and 1000 watts around @2ohm. I want to use the amp latter and use it at 1ohm at around 2000k. But the main thing is that I dont want to dim my lights. I use a 4 channel amp and the hifonics now. Big 3 done and under the hood I have a kinetik battery. Looking around for a $300.. But If that is to cheap etc, I will wait longer and spend around $600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityFats13 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 how are you going from 1ohm to 2ohm on the fly like that? are you subtracting a sub from the equation..... 1 ohm will draw more power than 2 ohm..... unless you really beef up the electrical its hard to cancel out all of the dimming .... what hifonics amp are you using so I can use that as a baseline for a search, most of their amps do not do rated only ones that I have seen pass dyno tests are the BE, BRZ brutus line from 2 years ago..... I run the BE1700.1D @ 1ohm very little dimming and only big 3 done.... and this amp did just over 1700 dynamic on steves amp test tuesday video..... for a $200 amp soundqubed Q1-2200.2 did around what you want but I dont know where to buy those and prices are around $400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetrog Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 what hifonics amp are you using I am using a Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D. It is 900 watts @2ohm. I have it hooked up rite now to a sa-12 and nothing is wrong with my system now. I just am going to try some different subs etc. what ever I do rite now I just want to use around the same power. When I get an alternator etc. everything will be different. The main thing I am trying to do is buy an amp now for the next system. Thanks for your time.
