Ft. tuned to 33Hzthe amp would be a hifonics Bxi1208Dthe amp would be ran @ 1ohm and would be roughly putting out 1200 watts RMSi listen to all rap i am getting a 1995 chevy blazer Edited December 14, 200816 yr by burbank bass crew
December 14, 200816 yr ok you know that if you choose extreme lead on the bl, you will only be able to use it for spl purposes right?
December 14, 200816 yr and the difference between the Q and the Bl is the Q is Fi's sq sub. the bl is more towards loudness, but still sounds pretty good.
December 15, 200816 yr Author i have another question.i have this legacy amp that is only about 4 months old and it just lying around my house.it says in the manual it will put out between 1000-2000 watts RMS @ 4-8 ohms briged.now i no for a fact this amp is way over rated.so lets say it was magical and did put out 2000 watts RMS would it hurt an 18 BL in any way?well if i did run this amp it would only be for about a month until i get the hifonics.

December 15, 200816 yr Hell no, i have a legacy amp and not to be rude but it sucks. Edited December 15, 200816 yr by juslivin
December 15, 200816 yr my thinking is it will put out 2000 before it just completely blows up lol. i just did a quick google and from what i saw their not reliable nor put out near rated power. not from my mouth but from the couple websites i just searched
December 15, 200816 yr Author i know i got the amp for free and i know it sucks bad. u guys are completely right. but if IF i do run it then it will only be ran for 3 or 4 weeks until i can get some cash for the hifonics amp.
December 15, 200816 yr i dont think you should run it. it'll work, yes, but i think in the end, i think you WILL end up maxing the gain, turning on the bass boost, and clipping the hell out of it to make it "loud" while you wait for your other amp. all of this could leave you with an expensive mistake. run it IF you can resist the urge to run it to the ground. if not, just wait it out.
December 15, 200816 yr I wouldnt get the hifonics either, IMO you should just save a lil more money and get a SUNDOWN 1500 amp
