so yeah i fryed my ma audio hk302sx amp and im looking for another 1 or 2 channel amp it doesnt matter.

im looking to run 1 ohm or 2 ohm so im looking for at least 1000w rms at least
(i didnt buy 0 guage wires and 2 fed cap for no reason)

im looking at this hifonics amp and it looks really nice but my friend say they arent with the cea-2006 standards but most amp arnt right?

what brand do yall say is good? and what model? help me out fellas! thanks

Sundown saz1500d ftw. Used for around 300 on audio forums. And lolz at 2 farad cap

im using a 1000/1 JL audio amp..it runs at 1000watts on any ohms...it pushes really good...built in equalizer..crossover..and much more

and yes 0 gauge wires fit

2 fed because it was a old item that i bought like 1 year ago, but i wont be pushing anymore then that

This. I've had 2 1500D's and they're absolutely awesome amps. May cost you a bit more than $300 (I payed $350 for each of mine) but they're well worth the little bit of extra money. Efficient, clean power, can run daily down to (and possibly below) .5 ohm (I'm doing it with my current one), and underrated. It will blow almost any current model hifonics out of the water.

And I agree with Brian, lolz on the cap...

I'm running a hifonics brutus I picked up for under 200 about 5 years ago. Still going strong...1500 watts RMS w/a 1 ohm load.

And caps have their place in this world! There was a time when everyone used and recommended them, no?

Anyway, I've got one and I've got no juice issues so I leave well enough alone.

Rockstar, yes there was a time for caps, before batt technology caught up in terms of discharge rate. Now that batts discharge current almost as fast as a cap does, but yet they have hundreds of time the reserve capacity, there's almost no reason to run a cap anymore. One benefit they do have in a pure SQ world, however, is to eliminate any ground noise in the system.

+1 for Hifonics, good and cheap, very powerful as well.

Yea hifonics for cheap power. But u can def get a 1500 for 300 Matt. I saw one for 275 shipped awhile back

Good info. Thank you! I think I'm just ok running it because I already have it!

I just saw another good choice go up on CACO for $290. AudioQue 2200D. Pretty similar in numbers to a Sundown 1500D, although probably a bit more powerful. I never said you can't get a 1500D for less than $300, but it'll be more readily available if you have $350 in your pocket. $325-350 is the average price I've seen for them. I absolutely love mine, and they're worth every penny, imo.

If you're running a smaller one (<10-20 farad), they can actually do more harm than good, just by the nature of their design. They discharve very quickly, but when they lose all of their charge, they draw charge from the alt/batt combo in order to recharge. This current that's going to the cap can't go to your amp, which means it's then short on voltage. I know I've posted that info somewhere else on here, probably multiple times, but just a heads up.

They discharve very quickly

lol is that a new feature of caps sounds powerful

mattastick

It's a fact of the design. The plates are very close together (closer than a batt) which allows them to discharge faster. But like I said, they have nowhere near the reserve, which is what prolonged current draw applications (car audio, for example) need.

lol check the spellin of what i quoted thats what i meant

Sorry... My bad... I've been stupid tired recently. School's been a bitch, and work ain't much easier. Plus trying to get the car done in the next couple weeks, it ain't easy...
