hifonics amplifiers?

what do think about a Hifonics BX 2200D 
2200 Watts Class D Mono Amplifier or a
 Hifonics BX2005D
1 x 2000-Watts Super D-Class Amplifier. the reason why i am asking u this is because i have 2 12 audioque sd 2.5 and they are 500 rms each. power by a elemental design nine one amp which give off 1200rms@1 at 12.5  but it seem like those speakers are eatting that power from that amp. When i talk to the owner of dd and audioque they said they can handle what ever power u give them so i was wonder do u think those amp would be better for me. yes they are in a  customs built box i that i built 5cuft 32 hz 

Well...that amp is a little overrated..but its a good bang for your buck.

Why not get another 9.1 and strap em together???

I would much rather strap two 9.1's than get a Hifonics.

I've been over on the ED forums for a while and looks like they've gotten their crap straightened out and are good now

i would not recomend hifonics, i had a brutus 1500 for my L7's and they did not do the job

LOVE THE AMP, been using HIFONICS for some time, running the 2005D on my subs, ALPINE SWR 12's, they love them. I've used pricier amps, but have had great results with them...Solid, kind of like a Fosgate amp.

I consider myself more than capable to recognize good brands when I hear them, but since I had never heard of ED, if you will, I looked it up, do dilligenced it up and realized, it's doodiety doodie. HIFONICS has a serious history, and has made some great amps... go with the gods Michael K.

Well over at ED there're guys running a pair of strapped 9.1s at 1 ohm without problems

just got a 1606D hifonics and i think they are overated cause i have em hooked uo to 2 rockfords P2 10 s4 200 Watts rms each. They are hooked up at 2 ohms which is supposed to give 900 watts rms and the volume knob is 3/4 way and the RF are still hitting hard. Was scared they'd blow the RF but they didn't BUT i must admit they are great sub amps with only a fraction of the current draw. Then again i'm running at 35 Hz which requires much more power than running at 45 or 50 Hz but the quality of the bass was tremendous compared to my lat amp which was a power acoustic LT980. Overall i'm satisfied with the amp would recommend it to anyone.

Tuning frequency does not effect your power output or efficiency. And most daily driver systems are tuned anywhere from 30-35Hz....45-50Hz would be more for an SPL Burp setup...


As for Hifonics amps, theyre a great amp for the price. They put out close to thier rated power and I know that the brutus series holds up well at 1ohm. overall I would give them a 3.5 out of 5 stars...

ED is also a great company and two strapped nine.1's would also be a great choice...Its all a matter of personal preference and experience...

3ft^3 @ 37Hz

Blowing up in a car accident doesnt worry me, as long as I'm putting out some major dB's when I die...

hey...there good amps for the money but i would go with mabe a nine as well, ive had a few problems with them so i wouldnt really recommed them.

tuning to higher frequencies sound much louder than tuning to lower frequencies using the same power output so essentially more power is needed for lower frequencies. Further my suystem has three 35Hz filters so i'm basically running pure 35 Hz while blocking out the higher frequencies.

There is no point in having subs lowpassed at 35Hz...I mean if you do you can really feel those quick double bass and kick drums can't you??

My preference is low frequency bass it sounds better and travels further. I have a soundstream bx10 bass reconstruction machine which really boosts the lower frequencies so it sounds great. The hifonics gave me a better quality bass and i noticed a reduced current draw in the readings on my digital capacitor but i am still sceptical about it's real power output. However it's worth the investment
