07mazda3s Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I have talked a lot about amps I would like to upgrade to, but today I got a job (finally) and hopefully will be purchasing a new amp within this moth. I have talked a lot about a couple of lower quality amps and you all have advised me to save for something nice rather than waste my time. Now I am looking for something in a decent price range that will power my sub to its max capabilities. I have my eye on the hifonics bxi1206d..A couple questions about that amp: I heard the bxi1206d is CEA certified, and it is rated at 900wrms@2ohms. But, doesn't being CEA certified mean you put out at least 10% more than your rated output? So wouldn't that put the actual power output @2ohms to ~1000wrms@2ohms? Next question..would the bxi1206d blow my sub apart? Many people on this site have told me they seriously doubt my sub can handle its rated RMS(800). I wouldn't really know how to set the gains properly on the hifonics amp. Is it ok to run the bxi1206d on a 4 gauge wiring kit wired @ 2ohms? Can my stock electrical handle the current draw?

My sub My box It dosn't put out anywhere near 1000wrms.. 4 gauge will work just fine on stock electrical.. We just put the 1200 watt bxi in an explorer w/ 4 gauge and stock electrical. It's good to go. I think you might kill your sub with it though if the gains aren't right. I'd find something that puts out a good 650-700 watts RMS.

Stock, but my current amp has a fuse rating of 80 amps, as does the hifonics. I think it will be alright.

07mazda3s Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Right now I'm pretty much deciding between the bxi1206d and the PA A1800DB, for around the same price which one would you recommend and why?

07mazda3s Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 My current sony xplod amp is actually cea2006 compliant, what does that mean it puts out? I have it wired at a rated 200wrms x2 @4ohms bc I have one voice coil on each channel of the amp. Will upgrading to an amp that puts out ~800wrms make my sub any louder? I just today realized that my amp was CEA rated, I just assumed since it was Sony that it was not. Anyways, do I stand to gain anything by upgrading to an amp that will give a true 800wrms to my sub? Edit: Sorry for asking so many questions and I appreciate any help! Power Acoustik fubar 12 sony xploding amp 2 ft^3 box @ 35hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
