ive been running hifonics for probably atleast 6 years, ive run the hifonics BX1000D and BXi1606D and neither overheat or anything like that

fresh1 are u planning on running 2 of those 4ohm DVC subs? if so u want a 1ohm stable amp which the kenwood is NOT, crunch can do 1ohm which is supposed to be 1250rms but probably closer to 1000rms

well the crunch amp does 1250 rms (supposedly) at 1 ohm so thats what i would need to run. if i get the kenwood i would have no problem running 2 ohms, i'm looking more for sql than spl anyways, the 1200 watts is just the power i need for the subs

I was waiting for someone to point that out...

If you are running a PAIR of 4 ohm DVC subs you need an amp that is rated at 1 ohm. Either one of these amps will work. I'd go with Crunch.

oh snap, you are absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out as well

On a side note, we had ran one of those 1000 rms kenwood amps at 0.5 ohm last year just for fun, it really hammered for about 3 weeks, after that it turned into a fire ball.

so if i go with the crunch (which i probably will), and get the dvc 2 ohm and wire both in parellel to create 2 1 ohm speakers that presents a 1 ohm load on the amp still right? or does that create a 2 ohm load since there are two speakers, one for each speaker out

2 2ohm subs all wired in paralell would give the amp 0.5 ohm load before rise. wired in series/paralell will give you 2 ohm before rise

so wire each sub individually in series and then in parallel to the amp? i thought with two speaker terminals on the amp it meant i could wire each 2 ohm dvc to 1 ohm and get put a 1 ohm load on the amp, or

two 4 ohm dvc to 2 ohm and then connect each to the amp to create a 1 ohm load?

aye yi yi my head is speening senor
