Hey Guys, im thinking on buying me a "Hifonics BX-12-Bp" Subwoofer with 800W Max (400W RMS on 4Ohm)
The Question is which of the following Amps does the best job for me.:

1. 2 x 150 / 275 Watt RMS on 4 / 2 Ohm (Hifonics TSI6002)
2. 600W RMS in Singlechannel 4Ohm (Hifonics Zxi-6002)

Would be thankful for Help. /Greets

rms watts are the only numbers you need to worry about...ignore peak completely.

whats the best choice for a complete set for about 500€ in your opinion? 500w rms is max i wanna have :D
still would be the questions... is a 600wrms amp compatible with a 400wrms sub?

do you have a hertz audio dealer in your area? generally thats what the european people end up with that come in here.

and no its not. you need to match the rms or be below it if you want to be safe...especially on mediocre subs like that.

yah as long as its no getting a clipped signal.
dial all eq's crossovers gains and boosts to the lowest points. then turn voume up 3/4 of maximum.
I always start with the highs on any available eq then mids eq then do the bass with sub off. tighten the highs then mids by narrowing the frequencies that each speaker is happy with using high and low pass filters and or crossover
then for the sub never max the output option on the deck or use louds boost ect its all distortion. slowwly turn the gain on the amp to match your decks rca voltage output. lil more gain to it until it distorts some then dial it back alittle until it sounds clean

all the hertz subwoofers arent that good for kickbasses ;) hifonics is much better in that imo
