Hifonics or Autotek - 5/12/2008 10:33:51 PM    Cooter Posts: 644 Joined: 1/29/2006 Status: offline Anyone have any experience with HiFonics or Autotek amps?? I know they're made by the same company, but trying to get an idea of which is the better of the two. I'm putting two Kicker Comp CVX 10's in my car and i'm trying to find an amp to push them nicely. I'm not planning on being in any stereo comps or anything like that. I've just always been a car audio fan. The amp I have now is a Kicker ZX 800.2. Im wondering if it will be enough to push these.

RE: Hifonics or Autotek - 5/14/2008 2:44:33 AM    Cooter Posts: 644 Joined: 1/29/2006 Status: offline Yeah. Pre-fab boxes. Used dual 4ohm subs with the amp bridged down to 2ohms. I'm not really sure what the bass boost is set on the amp. I didnt mess with any of the settings on it. My amp is mounted on an amp rack just under my rear deck speakers. So, the last thing I wanna do is to drop that thing down and mess with it. I took the existing wires (10ga) and connected 2 (12ga) wires to each and ran them to the terminals on the back of each box. I'll post a pic when I get home from work.   I have a Clarion pro audio in-dash dvd player (pop up). I have the bass setting on 3 and the non-fading output at 3 _____________________________ 05/GT, SCTII, JTI CAI, Niche 18 Rhine Wheels, BFG KDW''''''''s 255/45/18, Bassani X, 40series Flows www.obsessivedetail.com - No Affiliation so grab a midol! detailing product junkie. mr microfiber =).
