Ok system is mostly bought. Just need a amp for subs. Going to be running 2 soundqubed hds210. 600 watt rms. These are my narrowed down choices. Anybody used one or know if one stands out as the "known" better budget amp etc? Thanks
Has integrated and adjustable sub-sonic(lowest frequency you can play) and low pass filters(highest frequency it will play). Almost unheard of in the budget amp market, normally something you only see on amps such as Sundown, Digital Designs, Sound Qubed, b2 audio, you get the point.
That being said, a very high quality 4ga wiring kit would be needed. If not even a 1/0 kit with reducers. The amp is fused for 120 amps, so that's sorta an inbetween range... Personally, I would run a nice 1/0 kit and get a set of 1/0 to 4ga machined reducers. Fuse the wire coming off of the battery with a 150amp ANL fuse and call it a day.
Hifonics, Belva, and Precision make "decent" low end amps. When looking at rated power, is important to see if it was rated at 16v or 14v. 14v being the actual real world application...
I've used Hifonics in the past, they were okay and performed well for the price. Honestly you'd be better off buying a used amp that is a better brand. If it was me I'd be putting about 800w to the subs.
It's also important to note that after you factor in efficiency, power reduction, box rise, etc, you aren't going to see the as much power as what the amp claims it will produce. So therefore, go bigger and set your gain accordingly to give it a nice clean signal.

Yes, definitely a great idea. I do realize these are low end budget amps. Was hoping to get some good quality for a decent price but that seems not to happen nowadays lol. Really want to stay 200 below but might save ups although that phantom seems pretty decent.
Subs will be wired 1 ohm. But can go 2 ohm if need be.
Definitely keep it at 1ohm instead of 2. From there you want to find a good amp that will give you around 1800w at 1ohm. That way you have some wiggle room to set your gain. Did you do the big 3 yet?

Upping budget 250-300.. Might just get soundqubed amp. But that amp you posted would be nice! No I have not did the big 3, the shop I talked to said it would void my warranty on my truck;( since it is brand new going to try to get away with a extra xps battery I think that's what it was. Have not asked ford but knowing them shop is most likely right.
