whazoo84 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'm about to do an install on my 2003 Buick Century. 3 AudioPipe TXX-BD3-15's in the trunk in a ported box. I got the subs and the box at an incredibly low price, however I'm unsure as to what amp I want to use to power them. I have a Powerbass ASA 1200.2X sitting around, used it on an older system and I love the thing, just looking for more power now. I was thinking about getting a Hifonics Colossus 6.5K, or a SounStream 6000.1D (SS amps have good reviews as far as sound quality goes) For the doors I was gonna use a Hifonics Brutus 1200.4X (CEA-2006'd for 150W per channel x 4). I'm just troubled as far as to what to use for the subs, I want a decent ammount of power, while not buying a shit amp. Any advice? Thanks.

ckeeler11 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I have heard the hifonics have issues with going into protect and not coming out. Some models also will not do rated. what is your budget? Also I am surprised you have room in trunk for 3x15's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have about 6 inches of space before it hits the trunk line, so I'll secure it down so it doesn't. Budget is around 700$ I'm comfortable with. Could go a little more. I've heard great things about the SoundStream T1.6000DL. However, it's not cea-2006'd so I'm skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whazoo84 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 My advice,... Don't even worry about cea anything,.. Why not? CEA-2006 means you get the rated power out of the amp. I'd like to know what I'm getting out of it. Also, I found out the SoundStream makes about half it's power at a 0.5 ohm load, not too bad, but I'd like a little more.

Sorry yo, but, that rating means dick.... Huh, that's odd. I always stuck religiously to that. What amp do you think would be good for this then? I'm not trying to buy a damn cheapo like pyle, I want a good amp. I wish Alpine made larger amplifiers and wasn't so expensive. just curious what kind of electrical do you have 3 yellow optima batteries and stock alt on a crescendo encore 4.5k I have two digital designs 12's wired at 2ohms and I never see lights dim or have any problems at all That's not a bad amp, nor is it that expensive for what you get either. How's it as far as sound quality goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
