I was looking at some Hifonics amps and I think the TXi6406 looks like a good deal. $179 shipped on ebay.

4x85w @ 4 ohms
4x170w @ 2 ohms
2x340w @ 4 ohms

You can run 170 watts to each sub then 85 to each front.

I have HEARD that Hifonics exagerate their ratings a bit. Is this true? If not, tthat amp is definately an option for me.

But for now, which sub out of the two that I as just recommended would you guys go to?

I've had my hifonics amp and its been fine. i'im using it to push 2 elevation audio comp 10" subs in ~.75 cu ft sealed boxes. they do everything you'd like, i reccomend them if you can find them.. but you probably wont. i got them at an AWESOME price... They get loud enough for DD, are clean sounding (imo), and overall great subs for your basic, entry level sub. Btw, i'm running a hifonics tx1005 @ 2ohms on them. awesome. i've gotten my share of compliments on them.

Just to make it more confusing..... Hisfonics model ZXi6406 is about $40 more but its a model higher. It also has the same rated power so I dont know if its worth the extra $s.

I dont know much about those MBs or the Diamonds. But I think MB QUART and Hifonics are owned by the same company.

That hifonics opens my eyes a little bit. I just don't know, but right now its probably going to be the kicker. But I'll do some more research.

Just got back a few minutes ago. Have a few minutes before I go to bed to take a look at my system some more, I'm addicted haha.

But I came across this

My recommended box ids 1.5, do you guys think 1.6 is too much? Anyone else suggest anything else? The box itself is cheap, doesn't really match my carpet though..

Also got some extra money to spend. Anyone recommend any better subwoofer or something?

I'd say go with one good 12" sub if you want good deep bass, but not overwhelming, and if space is an issue.
I don't know why people get fixated on having two subs, but all the second sub will do is add 3dB (10dB is double the volume) take up moe space, cost more, and kep in mind that everything below about 250Hz is all mono anyway, not stereo.. and subs don't go higher than 80Hz.

You asked for advice. You're getting it from experienced professionals. I guarantee you our experience will be moe accurate than the average person's misconceptions.
