i have heard them and they are decent, i am just stereotyping the common design of the two, it would bother me as a buyer.

Audiobahn parents over a lot of companies... and after dealing with many of them... I've found that many put out superior products to the parent.
As I said though... the lower lines of Alphasonik aren't anything special and I'm not saying that the 800 or 900 series will keep up with a Massive DMX, but they are a decent sub.

thre is a lot of information in our FAQ section on this board.
Some of it would help you quite a bit in understanding this stuff, if you like.

First let me say that you really shouldn't beat yourself up over them just because they are Alphasonik... There are only 2 model lines of Alphasonik subs that I will sell... the 800 series & 900 series... It's just the rest of the lower level models that really leave alot to be desired... A 1400- 1500wrms @ 2ohm amp will bring them to life and you won't be disappointed.

well those alphasoniks wont need a full 900 rms, they would smoke up, id give them around 600 rms maybe 700rms a piece, hifonics makes a good amp look through their line up, you may even debate two seperate amps so that you can go with 2 amps at a 1ohm load each instead of a two ohm for one. even 1400 rms at 2ohms is gonna cost ya a couple hundred.

they're some alphasoniks 800 series subs.. i know they're not great but hey they were gifts from a friend ((that explains it)) and i dont want to make her feel bad or anythin since they're already purchased but now i'm lookin for an amp to power them efficiently

thanks for the help by the way.

by swimmerdude » Sun Jan 14, 2007 5:15 pm

there are a few ways you can wire those subs. To 8ohm, to 2ohm, or to .5ohm. You will get very little power out of amps at 8ohm, and most amps are not rated at .5ohm. So you will want to look for an amp that does 1200-1800rms at 2ohm.

And if you are wondering how to wire the subs....

By the way, what subs are those??
