Hifonics XXV Sampson or Memphis 4000d mojo amp ? Please help

[nickelz34 0]

hey guys ive been going thru alot of amps lately and i was set on the memphis mojo amp for 4000wats but now i see alot of guys using hifonics amps .

when looking at prices i found a 8000watt hifonics for the same as a memphis mojo 4000 and the hifonics amp had better protection agianst short circuiting and a crap tone of other features. then the memphis amp has only 4000 and very little features as i see . so my question is what would u guys do i got links below to the amps and prices .

do you think 8000 is to much for 2 18 btls fully loaded ? could i burn them up ?

For one u could have a 10,000 watt amp and you shouldnt blow the Btls as long as you know what your doing. The hifonics is gonna equal about 7000 solid watts at 1 ohm MAYBE and the fully loaded Btls can take about 3000 watts fine. So as long as you know what your doing with the hifonics then you shouldnt have a problem but if this isnt for competing then i would go for the Memphis because its cheaper and you wont notice a big difference at all between the two amps unless your burping

i havent been burning amps up if thats what you are asking lol i maybe should have explaind alittle more lol .

i have been looking at a lot of amps online. some say hifonics is crap why is that ? and i do plan on being able to compete a bit in the east coast car shows slam sessions , freak show , big show etc.

the spl crew is usually always there. what do you guys think my out come would be im walling these off in my civic ive seen crazy specs on this .

should be able to punch 150+ easy thats what im shooting for

My mistake, just the way it was worded. Saying you were going through a lot of amps then talking about the protection features got me.

What does your electrical look like.

150+ wont be easy but it is definitely possible.

Alot of trial and error trying to find that perfect box and that perfect tuning for your car will be the hardest. The subs should be close to last thing your worrying about, lol, but you should definitely do a build log on this wall if thats what you plan on doing. Idk if you already said this but what car is this going in?

i'm not sure why you want to run hifonics but if you really feel the need to run maxxsonics products i would just go with a pair of gp3000d pro's strapped. however, if you are looking for the most reliable power you can get on a budget i recommend (along with many of the other members here) you look into sundown amps.

i mgit just go with the hifonics 5000 watt amp than. oh and the car is a 95 honda civic dx 2 door. i prob will be refering to steave meads build but i will have to do some things differrent as this is a 2 door not a 4 door. idk if its going to be harder with 2 doors but i will find out for sure lol. im deff going to change the look a lil bit as i dont want to copy steaves build to the T . i will deffinatly make it look different.
