geo i think you and i are in agreement on the amp but maybe not on the price......i just personally dont think hes gonna find that type of quality for that type of money in a 2 ohm stable monoblock......id like to be wrong and find 500 watt rms 2 ohm stable monoblocks for a big enough savings to make passing that hifonics up at 169 worth while.....that would be awesome...but again you and i are definitely in agreement you just more eloquently than i....

damn guys, i dont wanna sound ungrateful, cuz i really do appreciate your knowledge and input...but will the amp work and sound good or not? this is my first system, and im only 16, lol, basically, obviously i want to impress my friends, but it doesnt have to be too serious

I always stay away from the offbrands......You buy junk you get junk.....Well good luck if you buy it and damn geoman I have sent you messages of all kinds in reference to your amps get back to me with that

lol.. i love all those offbrands. i want me a kenford 2000watt amp witha rockwood or almanine subb!

Darth I need your email address cause I want to email you some crazy pills

how about a almanine 1500w head unit! draws so much power it needs a external 15 amp fuse!

i donno ab out crazy pills, but i'll take some oxycodine if you've got it.

I gotta agree w/ Geo on this one. You really do get what you pay for. And, if it is cheaper, i'd still rather pay the extra money for something that can be backed up, and other people can vouch for.

I've never even heard of Hitron. They sound like some cheap knockoff brand that u would find riding the shelves at Big Lots for $15. I wouldn't touch those with a 10 foot pole.

If you're looking for good budget subs, I would suggest American Bass. Thats what i've got right now, and the 15" that i have, really isn't that bad. I only paid $85 for it, and it comes with a full warranty for 1 year. Now, do u think that Hitron would give u that kind of a deal?

I would suggest American Bass

Great deal there...Me and my buddy do all there repairs and damn are they bangin subs...One hell of a buy for the buck...Take that info and run with it

Yes, it will work.

And if it's the least expensive option, I support it. Heck, down the road you can buy yourself a sub that's a 750w or 1000w dual 2 ohm sub, and wire the amp to 1 ohm if you like - if you might want an upgrade path down the road, since the amp will make 250 more watts.

(before you get all excited over the 250 extra watts though, understand that the power/loudness ratio is stacked way against power... it nearly a fivefold increase in power to effect just a 6dB gain in loudness... so those extra 250w would be hardly audible even, not even a dB on the meter. )

I would expect that if you can find that amp for $175, that you should be able to find a 500w 2 ohm stable amp for about $125 or so.
But that option wouldn't allow you that upgrade path.

I would run that amp myself though, for a fun car. I don't know much about that sub, I fear anything that's a square sub "kicker clone", because Kicker owns all the patents to certain needed technologies (namely, corner surround pleats ).
But at the same time, i'd be curious as hell to try it out - why not?
