im trying to figure out which one of these would be the best amp to get for these subs.... *EDIT* oh yea... they are dual voice coil 4 ohm 12 " subs

COULD GET THIS AMP FOR 330 BRAND NEW from best buy... ROckford Fosgate P1000-1BD
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8265548&type=product&id=1170289779572

Hifonics BXi 2010 D
http://www.woofersetc.com/p7500/BXI-2010D--Hifonics-2000W-1-Channel-MonoBlock-Amplifier.htm

or this Hifonics BXi1610 D
http://www.woofersetc.com/p7501/BXI-1610D--Hifonics-1600W-1-Channel-Mono-Block-Amplifier.htm

Sorry another EDIT**
well right now i have this... the RF power t1000.1 bd

http://www.woofersetc.com/p521/T10001BD--Rockford-Fosgate-1000-Watt-Mono-Amplifier.htm

And basically it is loosing power somewhere in the amp and the warrenty already ran out... RF said i could send it to them and they will fix anything that iswrong with it for $208 and a local audio store said they will charge a $58 diagnostic test to see whats wrong and then that will go towards what ever it willcost to fix the problem, so i dont kno if i should get a new amp or get my current one fixed... what do you guys think??
 
I heard amps from the Brutus line get messed up alot.

RF > Hifonics


unless you're on a budget, you should stay away from maxxsonics.
 
you arent getting the full 1600 watts out of the second brutus...but its a good amp and itl;l give those type R's a good thump.

if theyre 12's stick em in like a 5.5^3 box at like 34. hz. and thump all day

Those Rockfords are not 1 ohm friendly
 
Kenwood amps are just as worse...

Those alpine v powers are also not 1 ohm stable..the pdx's are pretty good

if he's got 2 dual 4 ohm subs then he needs an amp thats 1 ohm stable..


i'd either get a sundown 1200d or audioque 1200d. the sundown will also do 1500@ 14.4 v
 
MR Monday Night knows his stuff.

if you can afford it a sundown, then go for it.

make sure you get an amp that's 1 ohm stable
