Posted December 25, 200816 yr Got:2002 Chevy ImpalaHifonics BXi1208d AmpJVC KW-NX7000Optima Yellow Top BatteryBig 3 Upgrade*STOCK Alternator*Getting:15" Icon/Box Combo From Fisher CustomsWhole Car DynamatedIs this a good setup? Dont complain about the amp... got it for only $100 NEWShould I get the D1 or D2 sub if I want to hook up the amp at 2ohms at 900watts? I have the stock alternator thats why and i dont think the 1200 watts would be good on my system even though I know I wont get it since the amp is highly overrated. I know the best thing to do is to get a ho alternator but the money is not there & I wanna go ahead and do this setup.Also how many watts would I get if i wired it at 1ohm & at 2ohm & could i just wire it at 1ohm with my alternator & be fine??
December 25, 200816 yr hifonics are like 300 watts under there rated power, so if you plan on going with hifonics then go with soething a little bigger
December 25, 200816 yr hifonics are like 300 watts under there rated power, so if you plan on going with hifonics then go with soething a little biggerIts not being underrated thats bad, its the fact that that amp will clip the hell out of your poor ICON if you aren't careful.
December 25, 200816 yr Author d1 =d2=Thanks!! That answered my BIG question.So either I wire it at 1ohm & put a strain on my electrical & eventually blow the alternator or I put less than 700watts to it but cant ever upgrade the amp & wire it to 1ohn with a different amp???Anyone know how much power this amp actually gives off at 1ohm & 2ohms?
December 25, 200816 yr A Sundown SAZ-1000D would be a perfect match for an Icon (1000w rms @ 1ohm), thats why they have the SSA ICON 15 + Sundown SAZ-1000D package for a good discount...$565 IIRC; which is an insane deal. Edited December 25, 200816 yr by Jason907

December 26, 200816 yr That is a fine setup. The amp will do it's job for now, but down the road I would look into picking up a new one.
December 26, 200816 yr would stock electrical be capable of powering a 1500 watt SAZ-1500D? Thinking I might be getting one of them for a 12 or 15 inch XCON

Thinking I might be getting one of them for a 12 or 15 inch XCONIt would be fine if you have a suv but it depends in the car you have, the battery, and if you have the big 3 or not. What you driving and do you have any of those upgrades?
December 27, 200816 yr I have a 94 buick lesabre with a new battery, forget what kind from walmart. No big 3 or anything at all so I take it as a no. I just want to run a XCon and a SAZ-1500D most likely.
