the one im lookin at is the pca2000, but i didnt know they were bought out by power acoustic

man im was thinkin the BL could hold more above 1500 watts damn. but hey where u at in the ville. hang out sometime. and we can check each other system out and then ill steal urs lol j/k im at the Iroquois area Be careful what you say. I just had part of a setup stole from me 2 months ago. Have no idea who did it and it was across the street from the police station! I am still eager to meet the person who did it. Not saying you did but be careful because if i find out who did it, they goin to jail. And if they dont.... i will. The BLs can take power up to but no more than 2K but is not suggested unless you know exactly what to look for when building the enclosure and setting up amp(s). yea man i know what it feels like 6 months ago i had my system stole from me too. it wasnt anything great but it was still 600 dollars. car was broken into and chit. but yea i'd like to find out who did it to me too. cus im beat the chit outta them not just send them to jail.

i thought soundstream was good? but i think the one im lookin at is an older model...

im thinkin of gettin the soundstream

isnt it 1000 at 1 ohm?

lol, i dont think hifonics is that bad, its still good for my car right now but im prolly takin out the bxi2607d from the list

is it under-rated? cant a BL loaded take more than 1500 watts? i got my ssd loaded at like 1200 watts

kicker one is 1500 at 2 ohms i need 1 ohm and i kinda want closer to 2000 rms

I am looking at these brands and models here: Soundstream PCA2000DSoundstream PCA2000D 2000 rms at 1 ohm - around $400 Hifonics BXi2607D prolly only 2000 rms at 1 ohm - around $400 a lil less Hifonics XXV Thor or XX Thor 3000 rms at 1 ohm - around $700 Orion HCCA-D5000 2500 rms at 1 ohm - around $600 Rockford Fosgate Power T20001bd 2000 rms at 1 ohm - around $750 which is best for power/price

really two in the rear? two hc1800? thats bout 700 lol, i dont think he would need two, maybe hc2400 b/c its not like hes gonna be playing his music with the car off for a long time. he just doesnt want his alternator to die, and he doesnt want to get a H.O. alternator cus he thinks its gonna cost too much for a good one. And well see i actually have my set up with a hifonics bxi1606d amp goin to a SSD 12", its been good to me. nothing has gone wrong yet and the price is hard to beat. and I read on here that the xx or xxv models are not over-rated like the lower models so yea, i told him about hifonics and that the thor was prolly the best for the money amp that hes gonna want to get.

yea i didnt think so thanks for feedback

is load boss the same as altstart off ebay? i was thinking of gettin one from them, price is like 3 times less than iraggi's

Did you even read my post? I never said they were the same. Have you owned them or are you talking from what you have heard from others? I can say that I have run both in the same car as well as other amps. And I know what I have heard. If you think they are underrated, then you should see my poor accord shake apart from the two RE SE10's. Of course the biggest amp that I have owned is a JBL bpx2200.1 and I cant say that it was twice as powerful as the Hifonics. So that leads me to believe that it is rated accurately. If you have any test reports that shows it grossly underrated, I would definately like to see them. Cause I am not claiming to be right, just giving my opinion i would really like to see these test reports on the non xx models from hifonics, i think they are very great and sq is good too not to mention great prices... but just in case they are over-rated i got the amp with an excess of 400 watts of what i needed, and it was still in good price

anyone know much about this amp? EARTHQUAKE PHD5000W. I never really heard of this company before are they any good? real rating or not?

ok so my brother wants to get a fully loaded 18" BL for his 00' blazer. hes got a stock alternator i think 105 amps, and hes thinking of getting a hc1800 battery in the back with a hifonics xxv or xx thor amp. will his electrical be okay for this?

i am thinking about getting speaker replacements for my oem door speakers. i got a 96 honda accord coupe. these are the two i am looking at right now: ALPINE SPS-600 6-1/2" 2-WAY 240W and KICKER KS60 6 1/2" 2-WAY 195W. which one is better and maybe if someone else has a better set tell me. these two are only 10 dollars apart on ebay. they sell for around 50 shipped.

so now im guessin that upping the idle rpm is out. lol.

no i actually dont, hahaha. wat should i search for alternator repair?

ok this is not an FI problem the only problem FI has is making good chit. i just think that this forum has a lot of knowledgeable ppl. n i dont think it is the size of the belt that is the problem. it is a remanufactured alternator for higher output so this is why it doesnt have the higher output at idle. but this is also true for most H/O alternators except www.h-o-alternators.com. their stuff is great, except the price, for my car its a lil shy of 700 for 170 amps. i dont really know where an alternator shop would be, how would i find out? do they just work on alternators or wat? so stock alternator vs H/O except at idle?

ok well i had a 130 amp high output alternator in my car, but it would whine every time i turn the car on for about 5 mins on n off depending on the electrical drain. so i reinstall the stock alternator, ( if someone knows what a stock 96 accord ex 2.2L alternator amp rating is tell me) there is no whine now which means there is no straining at idle. i no that the high ouput alternator i got is 130 amps at 1200 rpm, n prolly lower than stock at idle, but now with the stock alternator in, the lights dim bad, i can definitely tell. before with the High output alternator i didnt see much of my lights dimming. i do have a 1 farah cap in the trunk. now i was wondering because i read off other forums that you can raise the idle rpm above 800. i was wondering how to do this and if it would be bad for anything... really i am going to replace the cap with a kinetik hc1400 battery. but just wondering if the rpm idle could be raised to 1200 rpm easily or not...

whats a IA 20.1? what would happen if i do run the two amp set-up? Incriminator Audio 20.1 is a monoblock amplifier. As far as what would happen.. refer to the top part of Denim's post. hehe, it makes it easier for the electrical system?

why would the hifonics barely do 1000 watts? Because it's a Hifonics. They're not known for their rated power, they're known for being cheap. o damn, i thought they were a good brand. everyone's got them. That is because they are cheap. I have personally seen a good number of them go poof in competitions in just 2007 alone. The kicker, for daily usage is plenty of power, some are specing out close to 1800 watts. That is more then enough for those subs, if you feel otherwise, it would be best to start thinking about sub options on the SSD, or moving up to the Q, in addition worring about electrical support to a large amplifier. ok i got 1 ssd right now with flatwind and bp power with the hifonic BXi1206D. i am thinkin about gettin another ssd with the same options and getting an amp strong enough to power both of them. so i am lookin for an amp with about 2400 rms watt power... or should i just use two amps to power the subs? if i do the two amps then im prolly gonna get two BXi1606D from hifonics. they are about $230 includin shipping each. it says 1600 rms watts but since they are overated ill say they are about 1200-1400 rms watts each... thanks for the inputs guys, any more would be appreciated even if i dont listen
