Which of these is a better car amp?
Question by Awesome-0: Which of these is a better car amp?
I’m looking to buy a new amp for my subs.(my subs are Almani S-3’s 1000watt max RMS 500) I’ve looked around and of course I want to buy a high end amp however, money is always the wall that stops me from making a purchase on a 800 plus dollar amp which in theory would give me the best output. I’m shopping online right now and trying to buy my amp from a wholesaler website and found four amps from two different companies. I’ve been in contact with both of these companies and seen good set ups from both companies(amp wise), but I wanted to get your opinion. My first choice was the power Acoustk amp, due to the price listed online. I’ve seen this at audio stores before for well over 280 bucks not including tax!. Now, Hifonics is great, and there amps produce very well! I’ve heard these amp, but never bought one because at retail price there typically listed in the 400-600 dollar range. The three Hifonic amp I found online are 199-299, which is already a little over what I’d like to spend on an amp. Please look over the amps(linked below) and tell me what you think is the best amp considering price/sale factor,and over all performance standards. If you go with Hifonics let me know which of the three watt outputs to go with. Of course I’d like to save money and get the 1200 watt but if I’m going to need more power let me know.
1)Power Acoustik BAMF-2000/1D (BAMF2000/1D) priced at $ 170. saw this in a retail store for $ 289.

2)Hifonics BXi 1210D, BXi 1610, BXi 2010 priced from $ 199-$ 299. If you choice this brand which option can I go with that will push my subs enough to were I want over power the subs?

it really depends on the ohms i have 2 4 ohm p3d412s and just bought the 1210d wired down to 1 ohm perfect fit basically mine are 500wrms and 1000w max as well and this amps basically a perfect fit other ones are too powerful or to weak the 1210d youll be giving ur subs 100 watts over there limit if there 4 ohm and you wire to 1 ohm so basically its all good!
either way you got some shittty ass subs tho… 50 bucks cmon man!

forget the power acoustik, to be blunt they are a joke.
October 7th, 2012 at 2:01 pmthe hifonics amps are decent quality but are slightly overrated. the bxi 1210d for example really does about 1000 watts rms.
want a better option? the audioque aq1200d is $ 229 shipped. this amplifier does rated power and then some. if you don’t know audioque is owned by the same family as owns digital designs and all their products are designed by dd.

ya know how best buy is always somewhat expensive? we sell that amp for $ 189, so it’s not bad. but caraudiodeals.com sells it for $ 152 + shipping which isnt much. i like hifonics, but prefer crunch since it’s the same company, like autotek. its all maxxsonics. crunch is just cheaper. my crunch 1500.1 kicks ass and it cost me $ 142 at my door.
