i will be running down to 1 ohm

 

On what sub(s)? What's your electrical system like? That will determine what amp you should run, even though they will probably be pretty close on current draw, with the Hifonics pulling a little more than the Rockford.

 

Right now, i have 1 of this sub:

a Rockford P3 2ohm DVC

i may add another P3

 

I'd go with the Brutus. Run it at 4 ohms until you add a second sub, then drop it to 2 ohms. Those subs should take the power just fine, as long as the enclosure is good.

 

thanks mattastick

 

Hifonics Brutus for sure, I have one and love it

 

I clicked to find out what a momo amp was
