amp finally took a dive. help need bass again!

[73square]

ok so ill start with the basics. 2006 Porsche cayenne stock electrical charging at 14.5. 0gauge wiring to the amp, and 8gauge to the subs. amp is a hifonics bxi2006d and the subs are 2-2ohm sundown x15s.

ok so the story, been running this amp for years with no problems. that is until yesterday I finished my install with the x15s. wired them to 1ohm winch was probably the first mistake. box is 9 cubes port tuned to 32hz. the thing beat pretty dam good but a few times last night it sent the amp in protect. I flipped the breaker off and on and it was back to normal. then today at work I turned the gains down and messed with a few settings and it still pounded but I hit a good note and that sent it right back into protect and even flipping the breaker, turning the car off and letting it sit, it still remains in protect.

now, I know this amp is pretty much inadequate the way I have it set up but the amp is tired and I'm trying to find a decent amp that will perform but won't make me skip a mortgage payment. trying to stay under the 700 range. was looking at the American bass phantom "4k",the tramps"5k", and a few others but I want to know everyone honest opinion on what would be best for this setup. thanks in advance!

a DC Audio 2.0K would blow out your old HF amp and only cost $615 and droppin has 10% off code still active for orders over $500 .... so $553

or

Audio Legion 3500.1

or

Twisted Sounds 2.8k Monoblock Amplifier

How could you wire 2 dual 2 subs to one ohm? .5, 2 and 8 are your only options.

The only American bass line that's good is the VFL other wise sundown, incriminator , DD makes awesome amps, there are others to but u have 2 awesome subs feed those beasts good clean power your gonna have to spend some money I'd go with digital design M4 . That DC amp has good power. I can't believe u ran hifonics on 2 x series. That's like driving a lambo with Prius rims on it

He didn't. Probably wired to .5. Doesn't have the electrical to back it up since its stock, hence amp protecting.

I know we're not so posed to diss brands but we to start a thread about hifonics .

I think it's funny... My breaker keeps tripping amps going into protect..... Lets get a 4k amp

Makes sense to me

Haha lambo with prius rims yea pretty much. As for the power i wasnt tripping the breaker and my voltage wasnt even dropping past 12, i just reset to try and clear everything and see what i could do with it. I will be ordering the second battery along with the amp so that will also help. I may have just followed a bunk wiring diagram. Said it was suppose to be at 1 ohm but your probably right saying its actually at .5. But in all i already know this amp wasnt gonna cut it for long thats why i was askin what your opinion on amp choice for these things. Im going from 3 re 10s to this so im getting all my weakpoints figured out.

[ShadeTreeMechanic]

You need to figure out your alternator weak point before putting in a 4k. Otherwise go with 1.5k or less.
