TeamHT Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 In the shortest possible way...you can't. The amp is max rated and even then isn't truly capable. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakerman Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah, you gotta look at brand name, and mainly RMS ratings, and how many channels, what impedance, etc. It all factors to pricing. Best advice, get an equal quality of woofer, head unit and amp. You can have $10,000 tied up in head unit and speakers, but if you have a $100 amp, its gonna sound like a $100 system.

toadking90 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 but the same as the others are at 4 ohm it does 500 2 is 1000 and 1 is 1500. RMS is what it says. so do they lie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amp is max rated and even then isn't truly capable. not trying to bash you. but its rms rated at 1500? kinda tru...heres the specs HFi Series Mono-Channel Car Amplifier RMS Power Handling @ 4 Ohms: 500 watts x 1 RMS Power Handling @ 2 Ohms: 1000 watts x 1 RMS Power Handling @ 1 Ohms: 1500 watts x 1 And here's the link if you don't believe me It has several different ratings at different ohms... EDIT: Plus, its hifonics. Not bashing, i'm running hifonics in my mids and highs, but i don't think it will get 1500RMS on 1ohm Edited January 8, 2011 by BakermanINC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

__d_a_v_i_d__ Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 hifi line suks, get the bxi , brz, any other line of hifonics is better . the bxi 1600 would be better then the prime 500.

Bakerman Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 i know all that and posted it. but so at 1 ohm why wouldnt the rms be 1500? as it says? Some companies lie to get you to buy there product. Hell, and aq1200 is in the $250 price range, but it can do well over 1500wRMs @ 1ohm...and other companies do this backwards...to make you think the way you are. If it does a solid 1500wRMS, i'd be suprised. But it is a class D, so it might be able to, but I doubt it. I wouldn't put my money on it.
