akuma4u Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hey im currently trying to upgrade my amp. I have a hifonics brx2400.1d. It has been dynoed online to do about 2000rms at 14.4 i believe. It pushes my sundown subs nicely so i know its decent. One of their better amps. However i have a feeling its current hungry and not that efficient. Anyways, i saw the wolfram c2400 which does 2500rms at 1ohm 14.4 and 78% efficiency or the bs2.1 which is 90% efficient! And does around same numbers as the wolfram. So my question is, going from the hifonics 2000 rms at 14.4 vs wolframs 2500 at 14.4, will i notice an audible difference? I know the wolfram will be more efficient If no then its kinda pointless to invest into a new amp and just continue rocking the hifonics till it dies.

Triticum Agricolam Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 A 1 dB increase in output is about the smallest increase that is detectable by the human ear. And by that I mean if you played a tone at X dB and then played it at X+1 dB you would just BARELY be able to tell a difference. It takes about a 25% increase in watts to gain a 1 dB increase in output. That's what you are looking at going from 2000 watts to 2500 watts. A 3 dB increase is generally perceived as sounding about 10% louder, but its takes TWICE as much watts to achieve.

Its not going to be worth your money to only gain another 500 watts or so.
