What amp would be sufficient for two of these subs? Hifonics BRZ1700 at 2ohms is good or bad? I really need help finding the right amp and settings

That amp would be pushing the max RMS power for 2 subs running at 2 ohms overall.... (That amp is showing 1,200 RMS watts at 2 ohms. Each SA-12 is rated for up to 600 Watts RMS.) I run Hifonics Amps in my cars and am quite pleased. Honestly, unless you want to be heard from a mile away, you don't need two of these subs.... one is PLENTY..... That being said, once upon a time 1 had 2 JL 12" W0 subs plus 2 8" Rockford Fosgate DVC subs in a Jeep Grand Cherokee.... yes, overall the 4 subs were louder, but this is damn near close to the same loudness as those 4 were....

I have the r 1200 fosgate prime amp with a 140 amp circuit breaker with knukoncepts 4 gauge power and ground 12 gauge speaker wire. The hifonics amp is to much power for that sub.

I have one bass inferno wired for 2 ohms on a planet audio 2500.1 it hits really clean, i was really happy with it. What kind of amp do you have? Is it a class a or a/b or d?

Running 2 subs on individual amps in my setup - 2500 watt peak mono class D - 2 ohm stable @ 2500 peak, 130+ db at headrest, no issues.

In my opinion that amp is not stable at that impedance. I have 3 of those amps in 1.33ohm config and 1.5 ohm config.I would either invest in a different amp or buy 2 one for each sub.

I would consider a bigger amp because of the 2 12's and you need more power. If you bring to 2ohm load then you can power with any 2 channel or mono with sufficient power. Check the power rating of the drivers and will help in your decision. Hope this helps.

I run a hifonics 500rms x 2 @ 2 ohms for 4 speakers and ran that for at least 5 yrs and have yet to have any issues with them. Ive overheated the amp a few times(more than likely due to poor design) but the speakers have handled it just fine and I run them hard often.Just bought a new truck and plan on installing a set in it as they have never given me issues.

Yeah they are I'm still amazed. I'm still wondering why they're only $35. I have them running at 1 ohm 1900 watt hifonics amp. They handle it no problem. I thought they were going to be crap but they're quality subs.

I put in the Pioneer FH-X700BT in my car. I have one of these subs to replace the busted stock one. It powers it enough for the low notes but would recommend an amp for multiple of these.

I wouldn't hook up an inferior amp to a sub like this... I would go either JL audio or sundown brand max 2000 Watts mono block.. I personally use an SAZ1000 and it works perfectly

A decent match would be any decent amp that is around 1100w if youre getting two subs then get a 2000w amp. I bought two of these and a Pyle 2000w 2 channel amp and it sounds excellent for the price of it all! You should try to avoid getting an amp that is more powerful than your sub's as it is easier to blow them but you can always tune an amp down

I have mine set at 60,0" phase and ~100hz on bypass and I've had no problems. What amp are you using to drive it? I listen to lots of heavy bass music and can easily drive myself out of the room if I crank my amp so the question is--? what do you want to do the heavy lifting. The amp or the sub?

these subs hit hard for the price man.. 2ohm or 4 ohm DVC's ?? id wire them at 4 ohms.. might be pushing it. since they are only 600 rms peak subs..

i have used and gone through amps with these subs the best fir for my money is "power acustic" if i had the money like 200$ or so id get hifonics belva

They are 1500rms. Between 750 and 850 is optimal for these. I have a 3200.1bd Zeus pushing 2 of these 12's. It's turned way down of course. I Listen at loud volumes all the time and I haven't had any issues. You were probably pushing it to hard. Try turning the amp down. If I didn't purchase these I would have chosen a different sub. If money isn't a object try sundown audio D2's. If you want to stick with L7's then just turn your amp down so because anything over its peak watts is just producing heat which will blow your subs every time! Hope this helped

I have mine hooked up to 1 SA4 12 by sundown tuned to. 35h in a 2 cubic foot box an it BEATS!!!!!!!!!! I think as far as watts go they may b a little over rated, but the quality of the BRX series I'm very happy with ther a great amp for the money I even have the 640 as well. I'm pushing 4 6.5 alpines an 2 tweets with it an have n no trouble what's so ever with over heating are anything like that. I will tell u this if money is the issue u can go with a crunch amp they are made by the same company

I have an alpine mrv-m500 amp that gives 500 RMS at 2 ohms. It still hits hard and sounds great. But as long as the amp can handle a 2 ohm load and has at least 600 RMS your fine I would check out some amps on here that have those specs and I only have one sub not two!!!
