What amp would be sufficient for two of these subs?Hifonics BRZ1700 at 2ohms is good or bad?I really need help finding the right amp and settings

That amp would be pushing the max RMS power for 2 subs running at 2 ohms overall.... (That amp is showing 1,200 RMS watts at 2 ohms. Each SA-12 is rated for up to 600 Watts RMS.) I run Hifonics Amps in my cars and am quite pleased.Honestly, unless you want to be heard from a mile away, you don't need two of these subs.... one is PLENTY..... That being said, once upon a time 1 had 2 JL 12" W0 subs plus 2 8" Rockford Fosgate DVC subs in a Jeep Grand Cherokee.... yes, overall the 4 subs were louder, but this is damn near close to the same loudness as those 4 were....

I had one SA12 on 1200watts and it handled it like a champ. These subs are way underrated. Look into the Soundqubed HDS300's. They are about $50.00 cheaper. I replaced my SA with one and the HDS rapes the SA. Optimal enclosure specs on both. The Hds plays the lower end and the higher end quite noticeably better. But taking nothing away from the SA's. They are badass!

In my opinion that amp is not stable at that impedance. I have 3 of those amps in 1.33ohm config and 1.5 ohm config.I would either invest in a different amp or buy 2 one for each sub.

Wire the sub at 2 ohms if it's possible. Makes the amp put out max power and sub slap. If your sub is not a dual voice coil 4 ohm, get one.

yup, i got the 2x version on a 4000watt demon series pa amp. 1 15 rocks better than all of my friends multiples of subs, his setup was 2 12in alpine type r's not sure on the amp but it blows almost all competitionn out of the water. bought it over a year ago still bumps like the first day i got it. loud, reliable, and looks nice too

whats your price range? you'd want a little more than 2k rms because you have to factor in box rise. Wiring down to one ohm wont necessarily give you 1 ohm, you'll get around 1.4 ohms in reality. I'd get a crescendo BC 2000, audioque 2200D or an american bass vfl 4480.1D

Hifonics BRX amps usually run pretty well for the price, depending how many you get and what Ohm you hook them up to will determine the power.

With that speaker the amp has to be stable at 1 ohm I ended up changing the sub to the 4 ohm one because of the dual voice coil it has actual 2 ohm. The amp I bought was only stable at 2. Just depends on what you like truly.

It would probably be best to get a mono. Every sub set up I've had, I always went with a mono amp for it.

But either way going with any hifonics amp is the right choice, for spl and sql. I've hit 147.2 at 28hz on 1 AQ HDC3 18" and a brutus 2000. And 152.4 on 2 MTX 9500 15"s on 2 2000 brutuses.

I have one bass inferno wired for 2 ohms on a planet audio 2500.1 it hits really clean, i was really happy with it. What kind of amp do you have? Is it a class a or a/b or d?

This amp is good for any subs, the factor is to get the Ohms as low as possible so you can get advantage of the full power. If you can get 1 ohm you will get the full 1100 Watts. What are your subs specs?

Your going to want a mono channel class D. Something that can push 2000 watts at least. Dont cheap out on an amp because it will over heat and burn out. Hifonics makes some decent amps. whatever wattage you want to run to it get a amp that will do at least 1000 more than that and just turn it down a bit when your tuning it. Lets say you want to run 2000watts, if you use an amp thats rated for max 2000 watts youll be stressing it constantly and it wont last you long. Also make sure you do not mount it on the sub box or in an area were there isnt enough room for it to breath.

I have the r 1200 fosgate prime amp with a 140 amp circuit breaker with knukoncepts 4 gauge power and ground 12 gauge speaker wire. The hifonics amp is to much power for that sub.

I have never heard the s series, but these waaaaam. All depends on your setup. I have a hifonics brx 1600.1d and it pushes my 2 12" comprs pretty hard. I'm sure the s series, if rated around the same, may sound about the same. I've noticed that my kickers hit harder than my 2 12 mtxs but the quality is a tad worse. Get a good rated box, 0 ga, and a 1600.1d for these and I guarantee you'll enjoy.

Make sure you have high capacity alternator, 4gauge wire or bigger, and that your subs can be wired to 1ohm. I have mines running 2 alpine type-x 12's at 1ohm fine all day long. Great amp for the price. Best money I've ever spent on an amp.

It depends on what ohms your subs are? But this is a nice universal amp and I have it for my mids and highs. I did hook it up to my 2 12s and it worked good. With a mono amp you can only use it for your subs. I think of the future and what I can do with my amp and know this isn't the greatest amp out there but it does the job.

I have mine hooked up to 1 SA4 12 by sundown tuned to. 35h in a 2 cubic foot box an it BEATS!!!!!!!!!! I think as far as watts go they may b a little over rated, but the quality of the BRX series I'm very happy with ther a great amp for the money I even have the 640 as well. I'm pushing 4 6.5 alpines an 2 tweets with it an have n no trouble what's so ever with over heating are anything like that. I will tell u this if money is the issue u can go with a crunch amp they are made by the same company
