PlateStacker45 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 It's time to sell my 2 Power Acoustik Mofo's 12's. I got them hooked to a Hifonics BX2005D and they are very loud. But they only sound good on a few select songs and other songs don't hit hardly at all and sound buzzy and not right. I've narrowed my choices down to the FI SSD12 and the Kicker CVX12. Maybe even looking at Soundstream's T4-12. They seem to be the best bang for the buck in their catagory (12" <$200). I did plenty of searching and just can't find a lot of info on the CVX mainly and no head to head comparisons of the two. I am looking for SPL on par with the Mofo's, but to be able to hit on all songs. My enclosure is custom built ported at about 2.5 CF per sub. It's tuned to mid 30's. And as stated I will be powering them with a Hifonics BX2005D. What do ya'll think? Thanks.

AI James Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 a Hifonics BXI2005d is not a "good" amp. if your stuck on having it either of the three subs you mentions would be a great choice. i think the SSD are the cheapest so id go with them since all your eunning is a hifonics entry level amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any problems whatsoever. And they are not "entry level amps" by any means for an average street beater. I can't afford a $1,000+ amp right now, nor do I need one. And the SSD's are not the cheapest, I can get the CVX's for $300 shipped. Can we stick to the opinions on the subs I listed, and not just my amp.

I plan on buying four Ma Audio ma180xe's (if I can fit) and a couple PA3000db's. But being in the Military doesen't pull in much pay, so that will have wait. For now I'm just looking to do a swap of my 12's and keep the same amp.
