sonic purity Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I haven't used the Hifonics stuff personally. I do not feel they have the quality of the Rockford products. I looked at there site and it was very vague. I could not fin a fuse rating on it. But it claims 2600 watts at 1 ohm and its only 17 inches long. I'm skeptical of it. yea, they are vague for a reason. but for really cheap power, I would put them above most of the cheap brands out there. n2caraudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 If you are going to spend $350, I think you should add ten of dollars and get a Sundown 1500. Don't get me wrong, the RF T10001bd is a awesome amp but the Sundown is better for the money. The Sundown will be easier on your electrical too... Plus you could run it a .5 ohms although i wouldn't do it every day.Ya the refurbished Sundown SAZ-1500 refurbs are 360 and 375. and would be a better chioce.I put RF and Sundown on the same level of respect. so I have to choose by application. Both will play music and test tones. Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

I'm skeptical of it. i looked at their site also no good info on there, i do have 1 of their 4 ch amps running my 6x9 it works good but i wouldnt say its close to the 900 they are saying, as far as size i know there are a few amps on here that are small that put out some wattage. stetsom amps are pretty small logans sounds like it pounds from what the vids show. i had a planet audio big bang that was hella small but pounded my type r 15s pretty good. and i have had and seen some huge amps my audiobahn a2300hcx was over 2 feet long and that thing sucked balls. the fosgate 1000.1 bd isnt that big but it pounds. thats just my opinion. REST IN PARADISE BIG RICH (Sqmonte) never forgotten Why do you guys ALWAYS dispute on NUMBERS????? It's such a played out argument, so fucking annoying.... It's 12 fuckin 15's.... It's louder than you... Shut the fuck up... /Rant I'm so jealous, it makes me want to club baby seals. That shit gets down HARD!dont buy from knowledge he will scam you. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/30995-official-knowledge-feedback/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korey_hofer Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 The fuse rating is something you can use 80% of the time to know if an amp can make rated power.as long as you factor in efficiency previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme. I talk shit on other forums like a little bitch and hope i don't get caught out on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISO Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 as long as you factor in efficiencyI've seen enough amps that is easy to figue out if it can make the power but for a new guy I see were could be alittle harder.But there is still a basic guideline.
