Customer Ratings & Reviews

great sub, good deep bass

Pros: deep bass, can be loud or soft and sound good, box doesnt matter, sounds good in sealed or ported, only need 500 watts to get it pounding.

Cons: will blow easily if you try to run it close to max watts (stick with rms), doesnt have the high notes that other subs do (this is more of a rap sub than a rock one).

Excellent product

I have this sub in a sealed box in my truck running at full power and it sounds very good. It doesn't distort at all and the bass hits very hard without any distortion. Highly recommended, I'm very happy with it.

Awesome

I love these subs. I installed these and ran each one off its own amp. I'm only giving each one 500w but these things bang.

You wont be disappointed

Have had mine for at least 3 months or so. I have an 1100 watt peak 550 rms amp hooked up to this and I am not gentle with it. Just one 12 in a custom ported box and this blows away my friends two kicker CVRs. Definitely worth spending the extra buck to get these. You wont be disappointed.

guy buy for the price

I bought 2 of these subs with a hifonics brutus 1200 rms amp and it was perfect for these subs.

Awesome subs

Put them in this afternoon and they bang hard

Alpine 4eva

I have 2 12s wired down to 1ohm and I almost forgot what these sounded like! I owned 4 ran off 2 1500.1 kicker amps a couple years ago and they were dual 2 ohm wired to 1. Dual 4 put out the same head pounding bass, extreme lows with little or no distortion at high volumes. RE 1500.1 bridged are runnin mine. XS 1200v cell with .5 farad cap and yellow top optima for SERIOUS power. Sealed enclosure for my 97 continental.

Hard hittin

Bought this along with an RF Prime R500.1 (528RMS).
At first I had this in a sealed box and I was happy. Then I got a ported 1.8 cu ft box and this thing hits so dang hard. When the back seats are down it shakes my winshield and side mirrors like crazy. So many people ask what I have in back and they are amazed when I tell em its only 1 12". This thing out does 2 kickers easily. Almost nothing can compete with this sub in its range. The only thing that you have to watch on this sub is the low lows. After playin rack city at max volume they started to smell a bit. For all other Hz this thing is a beast.

Too powerful

If you're going to buy this amp, make sure you know what you're doing. This amp is the same internals as the hifonics 2400W amp just with a smaller current handling system. If you don't know how to tune it right you're going to be blowing subwoofers left right and center. The speaker output has been reading up to 62V (at 1 ohm that is equivelant to 3844W). With the fuses that are in it and over-current protection I was still able to blow my hifonics brutus 1200W Peak subwoofer. Aside from that amazing amp, beautiful power coming from it.

Make sure you get a box designed to spec!

I had one alpine type r in a walmart box and was very disappointed. So I decided to get a second one and put them in a ported box designed to spec. WOW what a difference. I was bumping so hard my rear view mirror fell off! I would definitely recommend this sub just make sure you buy a ported box from sonic instead of settling for a walmart box!!

Alpine Type R

If you want loud get these. They dont change notes very well between high and low hits but they are still loud. If your lokking for everyone around to hear you get these. Two of these in a ported box is all the bass you would ever need.

dtp

I been running the same hifonics amp since 2008 never had any problem with it so when I upgraded the sound system in my truck I went with 2 of these. I would recommend hifonics amps to anyone who want to upgrade without breaking the bank.

HiFonics

For the price this product is well worth it. Big BANG for the BUCK! Completely satisfied and thinking about purchasing more HiFonics products.

Pretty cool amp for a decent price.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a pretty nice sound system for a little bit cheaper. This amp is the perfect middle ground. It's not so nice as to where it'd break the bank but it's not so cheap that it can't deliver its power ratings. I've had this amp for a little over a year and I'm happy with it. I push two Type R's with it just fine.

ok buy

Had this amp for a few months. Made my Alpines kick so hard, people could here my car for blocks. Amp started cutting out after a few months when I played something with too much bass. Called Sonic Electronix. They handled my problem greatly and sent me a new one.

PEOPLE READ VERY IMPORTANT

When i first saw this amp and read through the reviews i knew this would be a very smart choice. i just had mine installed last week and man, this thing slaps so hard its insane. i can here this thing all the way down my street behind my buddy's fence(500ft). When my wife wants a massage i dont even have to get up anymore, i just have my boy go downstairs and turn on the car. sometimes i play some of that young jeezy slap for the premium massage. when i roll into work i roll with style. inside my employees know its me comin because half the store shakes therefor its a mess when i come in. Trust me and ALL the other reviews, this amp is the best if you dont wanna pay too much and if you want serious power. honestly i dont even know how my heart hasnt stopped yet this thing is so loud. ive gotten like 20 loud music ticketts!!!!!

Good Amp

Bought this amp to power a single 10 inch kicker, it pushes it really well and makes it sound good. Only down side to the amp is that when the weather gets hot it overheats really easily. Other than that it is a good amp for a everyday system.

Too much to say!

This amp right here, Wow... All i have to say... I have had this baby power 2 alpine 10" 2012 alpines in a 2 cube ported enclosure at 1 ohm, and they pounded the living hell out of my poor little subby...

I currently have the amp hooked up to a rockford t2d2 woofer at 1 ohm.. And i was a little skeptical at first thinking, why am i hooking up a cheaper amp to a 900 dollar sub...

Man was i wrong. This amp pushed the living hell out of the 900 dollar woofer... Throwing the maximum excursion of 4 inches off the sub with zero stress, at barely HALF THE POWER.

Please.. please buy this amp.. It is the only amp in the price range that can deliver this much bass for the affordable price.

Brutus 1200

Not bad, just has some distortion. Won't push as much without distortion. But not a bad amp.

Very good amp

I purchased this amp about six months ago from sonic electronix and ever sense then I have been very sarisfied with my purchase. This amp is amazingly powerful and is very well built. The price was what won me over. Well worth the money. System pounds very hard with this amp!

Amazing Subs for the price

I had a hard time deciding if I should have gotten 2 or just 1. I ended up only getting 1 Alpine Type-R sub and this thing blasts! I'm running it off the Rockford R500 amp and it's perfect. So happy with my purchase.

in love

I have this hooked up to a Powerbass XAX-1200d or something like that and I'm so impressed with both. i have this in a sealed box in my prelude and its so loud! I have one of these and all my friends think its awesome and it hits the notes I want it to. its quite heavy...but then again its a sub haha but it looks clean in the car and makes my rear view mirror start to fall haha. Everyone at the installation shop I went to was asking what i had and were trading in their Kenwoods and MTX and Pioneers for this. highly recommend this sub. i have not looked back on my purchase at all. i just wish it was a little more flashy...i love the simplicity but a little something more i think would be acceptable also. btw i listen to all sorts of music. im from LA so im big on hip hop and rock. this sub in a sealed box with my amp is just perfect. GET IT!

Bass in the place London!!

Don't bother looking anywhere else. Just click and buy. This sub is mental, an it keeps on going and going, giving birth to hard, deep and tight Bass! Im only running 400w rms on it in a sealed enclosure and my neighbors hate me. Can't wait for summer time in London! If you want to be that guy cruising with loud bass, then this is your tool to make it happen. WE LOVE BASS!

buy it definitely

Value is great. Quality is amazing. I am looking forward to buying another one.

Amazing subs, shakes your brain!

Truly amazing subs these type r's are. Use to have two 12" in my old car hooked up to a 1000 watt rms rockford amp in a ported enclosure and man did these subs slam! For sure the hardest hitting subs I have ever owned. Would recommend these to anyone looking to rattle their brains!

best in the game

I have 2 of these with a 3 cubic ft box and 2 Alpine mrx 1000 watt amps and these subs are the best in my town no one can match me and to any one that wants to buy kicker alpine is the way to go plus these things can take a beating.

great

These Subs are freaking awesome. I got one in my car and its so loud and clear. Recomend to anyone for the price and wattage. its hooked up to a jackhammer amp.

Good all around sub

I really like this product. It is loud and pretty crisp and I only have it on a 500 watt memphis amp. It does smoke a little when I turn it up but im pretty sure thats my very old amp, and not the sub at all. I didnt like how the bannana clips for bridging the voicecoils felt so I just used speakerwire. They were just very loose. I listen to hip hop, punk, rap, dubstep and it compliments them all very well. Oh and if youve never listened to dubstep on subs then dont hate on it just yet. Its totally different. It is really about the bass you just dont get on headphones. Lol

Amazing Amp

I've had this amp for 10 months now and its very powerful I'm on my second pair of pioneer 12s and I had to turn it all the way down because I blew my first pair. I have yet to have any problems or complains I love my amp.

Danm

I am running 4 of these puppies in my ford with about 7000 watts. These subs are drop dead sexy with HQ bass. If you want bass that will shake the crap out of your can + 4 blocks away these are the cheapest subs to do so. BTW you dont need to let these subs warm up in the winter, even tho its still a good idea.

I need more juice!!

These things are beasts. If you can't afford the really expensive stuff go with these. They won't dissapoint you. I started with one of the older models and it pounded on my amp pretty nasty for a single 12". Kind of reminded me of my w6 in a way. Now I have the newer model to go with it. I have the Kicker 750.1 running them in a sealed box in a Camry and its not enough by far. It sounds like one still. I have everything wired to the lowest ohms I can get em. I wish I would've gotten the 2 ohm ones to give em a bit more power, but I can't complain. I think they would be better off with a slot ported box but they sound very clean the way they are. With the right amp and set up you can run just one of these and be happy.

WOOWWW

Holy crap i was at b*st b*y amd saw this and was like well ill give it a try and i shook my big mirror out of place on the drivers side but not only does it shake everything it delivers the bass that you need to hear!!

way to loud

I would buy this amp, because it just takes anything you throw at it and it will pound any sub, i am putting this amp to my l7 solo baric single 15. I am running it at 1 ohm. Never really gets hot. I have played it going to kentucky on a 4-1/2 hour trip. overall its a sweet amp that will never let you down!!! I would get it if i was you!!

Alpine quality

This is the best overall sub for the money. I have 2 of them in a custom ported box that cost more than the subs! They are perfect for my pontiac g5 2009, but i also picked up a kinetic hc 1800 to help with the power issue and the dimming. LOVE THE NEW SIZE it saved space in my trunk! Oh and sonic does have the lowest price and free shipping!

more than enough

These can take a beating!

AWE-MAZING!!!

The title says it all! I've had this sub for a day now and I still am surprised that I have all this bass coming from a 10" sub! It hits the highs and nails the lows and fills my whole Subaru with quality bass without rattling the trunk annoyingly. I put this in the sonic sealed box with .75 cubic feet hooked up to my old MTX TN250 Terminator amp and this thing barely takes up any space back there. This sub will not disappoint you!

High output, Good sound quality

I wanted a sub with high output and good SQ at a low price, after doing a lot of research, I decided on this woofer. I tossed it into a 1 cubic foot sized sealed box as recommended by Alpine for SQ (I mainly listen to rock music). I juiced it with an RF bdCP 1000, 900 watts at 4ohm.

I used to own 2 RF 12's powered by the first model Bd1000. This single 12 hits at least 70% as hard and has better sound quality.

I bought one more of these, and I'm thinking of sending it back, a single one is so loud. ( I will probably keep the extra one and hook it up)

I havent tried wiring this sub at 2ohms (My amp gives 1500 Watts at 2ohms) But I would imagine it would probably sound even better.

This sub sounds good for rock and rap, but for some reason, it makes techno and dance music sound great. It feels just as bulletproof as it looks in the pictures.

Good but inconsistant

Let me start off by saying I would give this amp 3.5 out of 5 if I could. This is because the amp was really inconsistant. By that I mean that some days it was an absolute workhorse that pushed my subs hard, and some days it would sound not as loud or even sporatically cut out. I got my battery checked out, checked the ground and wiring, but could never figure out why it would cut out. Overall, I would say this was a good amp and worth the money, but don't be sceptical of people saying it would cut out, like I was before I bought it. Other than my frustrations with the inconsistency, the amp was well designed and has several nice features that really simplify installation.

Nice Amp

I hooked this amp up to a 10 inch alpine type R and it sounded real nice but when I turned it up for 1 song it fried the sub. The sub is only rated for 600 watts RMS so I guess I'm dumb. Not the amps fault, I don't think. The amp it replaced was a 500 watt alpine mdx. I think the hifonics sounds much better than the alpine amp. Now I have to buy a new sub though.

Insane Bass

I have one in a 2009 Ford Escape for my wife. It's running off a pr2.100 Memphis 2 channel bridged at 300 rms. This sub is by far not getting enough wattage but the sound and clarity is superior than 2 PR Memphis 12's. This one sub is plenty for her car and I recommend this for all. This sub is well worth 200.00 range easily. I fiberglassed a box with 1.9 cu internal vented tuned at 32hz. This is a 5 star sub.

GET 2 of them

I got 2 of these hooked up in subaru STI and man do they shake the heck out of the car it feels like they are about to break apart the car

type r in probox

Great sub. The quality is great on this item, the first one I got was a dud but Sonic took care of me quickly. Thanks Sonic

Two SWR1243D on a BXI2607D at 1 ohm

These subs can get really loud they can almost handle all the power my bxi2607d puts out at one ohm but I cant run all the power to them.
I would recomend these to someone who likes mid low to mid bass they dont go too low so if your looking for low lows like 5-30 hz look somewhere else I put them in a box that is 3 cubes per chamber tuned at 32 hz and the aw1208t's I had in the same box really hit the lows crazy but these r's they are more for 30-60hz bass that most rap plays and they sound really great just don't hit vary low like i would like or Im used too lol

awsome for the price

I bought two for these subs in June and man do they sound good. Ive never had alpine. Ive had kicker cvrs solo baric cvx Ive also had memphis and to be honest with you nothing has compared to these other than I really liked the solo baric l5. I have the bxi 1610d running two of them in a ported box I dont know the cubic feet of the box lol but the bxi is rated at 1600 rms but ive talked to several at sonic and this amp pushes about 1400 rms but they do hit pretty hard I have 0/1 gauge ran and I upgraded my alternator to 150 amp and I soon will be getting the sk-bt60 and another sub! sonic is a great place to buy from ships fast I would recommend this sub to anyone for the amount of money sonic has them priced at you cant beat it.

Great bang for buck

Perfect for good clean bass that wont overpower factory bose. Get one

bass feels so good

I have one of these amps pushing three powerbass 12s in a sealed box, and it hit so hard. I'm going to buy another one and three more 12s.

Great Product

While I was a little skeptical that I was going to get junk at such a low price, this AMP is awesome. The look of it is quite superior to any other amp I have seen, and sound is GREAT!!

Great Value

Picked up this amp on sale during christmas. I have it setup on my boat running a Pioneer 10" competition pro. This thing is a little too much power for the Pioneer. I tested it out on a pair of old school Lanzar DC15" (back when Lanzar was some top of the line car audio equip.) and they bumped hard.

Awesome Subs

I bought 2 of these. Threw them in custom 1.7cu Per ported box. Cant beat it. I have them in an escort. Got my windshield and my wipers shaking like crazy. I have them on an alpine MRP-M2000 and I am very satisfied.

Good Buy

Hifonics is the way to go, i love the high quality that is provided i had a problem with the amp but Sonic Electronix handled my problem very professionally and is sending me a brand new one.

more than enough

I purchased this amp to power two type-r swr-1242d subs. For the price and power it can't be beat.

GOOD BUT YOU NEED

You need the correct box for this sub to sound incredible. They hit hard. If not in the correct box the bass could sound harsh and not so clean but in the proper box the sub wont let you down.

Alpine SWR-1243D

Great subwoofer!

Great Subs!!!!

This sub is great. Very competitively priced! Performs very well, and can handle each and every of them 600 watts!!! Its amazing really. Probably gonna pick up another

Excellent value

This amp is one ohm stable and provides the actual RMS output it is supposed to(unlike Sony xPlode and other brands I consider a joke). I run a competition sub in a tuned box and this amp has plenty of power to drive the massive motor and magnet it has. It produces clean bass and has never gotten hot. I can make peoples ears hurt and get girls wet from bass and vibrations, lots of power. If you are looking for a budget friendly amp that produces great power, this is the amp for you!

brutus 1200 d

i would recommend for a cheap amp i do spl copm. and have 18 inch fi audio subs i hooked up the brutus amp and it actually powered up my sub a little. but you haft to understand this sub weighs 90 lbs and requires a 3000 watt minimum power up. so the fact that this sub even made a sound was impressive. if you need a cheap amp buy it.

Loud Sub

I listen to one of these all the time in my friend's car. It slams! He pushes it past the rms too often but this subwoofer handles it well. I have seen this sub pushed obviously past it's limits for a couple minutes straight and it is DURABLE! Luckily, it just wont blow. The sound quality isn't there. I have W3's and they are noticeably cleaner. If you put this in the right size ported box, it is well worth the money.

Great subs!

These subs are a great deal. They are built with amazing quality and they are cheaper than almost any sub in it's class. I have two of these with a Hifonics HFI2000d amp and they pound. Make sure you give them enough power though, otherwise they won't play at all.

Love this amp.

I brought one of these amps and have to say, this amp kicks butt.

Greate value

For the price you cant go wrong. Is a great value just make sure you have the space before you place your order and if you do you wont regret it.

Excelent Sub!!!!

This is an amazing sounding sub! Very good purchase. Once installed it hits hard and accuratly. Perfect for an easy, great sounding system, on a small budget. This thing makes some noise!

amazing

I ordered this amp to replace a Rockford fosgate T-500 1bd and am pushing 4 Kenwood kfc-w3013s and it SLAMS HARD!!! I Highly recommend to anyone.

BANGERS

My brother owned two of these in a ported box being pushed by an Alpine MRP-1000 amp. i was getting a 5 star back massage in the front seat! he recently switched to CVX's but id say these subs are in the same class as those are. really a lot of bang for your buck.

awesome

i just put one in my 2004 cavalier last night and it bangs for sure. it was an upgrade from two 10" audiobahns and it hits just as hard straight out the box. i cant wait til its broke in so i can turn my amp up. i think im gona stick with alpine from now on. definitely recommend to anyone especially for the price.

Blew me away!

I just got finished hooking my 2 alpines up to a hifonics brutus amp at one ohm. Each are getting about 600w rms and they are brutal!!! Would highly recommend these subs to anyone who wants clarity with their hard hitting bass.

bad a**

I have 2 of these in my Mustang hooked to a 200 watt Alpine amp and all i can say is omg they shake my house and both of my neighbors

ridiculous loud

I would absolutely recommend the alpine type R. I have it hooked up to an 1800 w kenwood amp and it is ridiculously loud!

Very good bang for your buck amp

This amp is a really good bang for your buck, plus its CEA compliant so you can have peace of mind. I have owned this amp for about 1 year and it has never given me any problems nor has it never gotten hot or went into protect mode.
This amp currently powers my 1 12" Kicker L7 sub. The sub is Dual 4 ohms and i have it wired to a 2 ohm load and this amp powers it without any problems.
For such a powerful amp, it is pretty small (Digital technology For The Win) so you can install it in a lot of tight locations.

bass feels so good

I have one of these amps pushing three powerbass 12s in a sealed box, and it hit so hard. I'm going to buy another one and three more 12s.

Solid Clean Power

I am completely satisfied with this amp it gets the job done and a whole lot more! I upgraded from my brutus 1208d to this 1700.1d and it is perfect. I am powering an Audioque sdc 2.5 15 dual 4 wired to 2 ohms in a 4.6 cf tuned to 32 hz stuffed in the trunk of my grand marquis and i love it. This baby puts out some really clean power, i have my gain set to 2.5v to match my headunit. With no bass boost at the amp or HU, i just have my eq set to 0 and it is clean as #@%$ I have a yellowtop up front and all Knukonceptz wiring.
Also, a huge thank you to Sonic Electronix for your awesome free shipping, not only was it fast (4 days total from cali to ohio) but you guys pack your shipments like gods, there was at least 4 inches of thoroughly packed packing peanuts surrounding the amp box on all sides, I am extremely satisfied.
Thank you Sonic Electronix

GREAT SOLID AMPLIFIER!!

At first i was a little apprehensive about this amp because i have never owned anything from Hi Fonics but after i read the reviews i was sold! I had it running two rockford fosgate hx2 10's in a slot ported enclosure wired at 1ohm and this thing pushed the subs HARD!!! This amp barely even gets warm! unfortunately one of the subs blew a coil so now i have it running just one in a different slot ported enclosure at 2 ohm and i am tempted to say it may be even louder; it flexes the roof of my little mazda truckl! Terrific amp for the price i recommend it to anyone!

Why spend more

This amp runs my two re sex 10 " subs. It never over heats or shuts down it just keeps pounding away and it sounds awesome

Its alright.

I had my type-r 3 months and the cone came off the voice coil so I'm not very happy how Alpine built these. I spent full retail on the sub somewhere else.

great buy

I got this amp on 2x L5 solibaric 12's and I tell you its loud n clear. It hits very hard. I am thinking about another amp n 2 more subs.

great power for the price

I've been very happy with this amp. It powers my 4 10s in my truck great and i havent had a problem with it at all.

Good amp.

I have this amp hooked up to 2 RE Audio SEX wired to 1 ohm. This amp sounds great, I have not felt it get hot yet but it does hog a lot of power sometimes I feel like more than it should. I would recommend this amp to anyone who is on a budget. I can only think of one other amp in this price range that is better. I have had this amp for about 6 months and it still runs strong. The heat sink fins are very sharp so be careful!

Great subs for the price!

I have two of these subs, with each one being powered by one PDX-M6 Monoblock 600 watt amp. They sound amazing. Very clean, tight sound that I hadnt experienced with my past sound systems. You wont find a better subwoofer in this price range. Currently, I'm running 600 watts to a sub that runs at 600 rms, and it appears to be a perfect match in conjunction with the rest of my system, as I want a clean, blended and loud sound, not huge Boom Boom from the trunk and nothing else being heard. If you're like me, you read nearly every damn review before you punched in that credit card. Buy them!

Great Sub!!

Pushes great bass and with that 20% reduction i think it is a sub basically for anyone. i have one in a custom built box in my 1978 Ford F-150 ranger XLT and it has great sound quality and amazing bass. Alpine has a great product on there hands!

GREAT SUB!!

I bought this sub about a month ago and i love it! It hits so hard and im def buying another one!!!!!

Hifonics BRX 1200.1D

I bought this amp to power the Hifonics OLYMPUS SUBWOOFER that I recently purchased from Sonicelectronix.com. This amp is not only powerful but beautiful. The blue LED lighting set's off the brushed aluminum look of the amp. I put my Olympus 12 in a 2.0 cf 32 htz box and wired it to this amp at 1olm and it pounds. I did a BIG 4 upgrade with all OFC 0AWG wire back to my distribution blocks then OFC 4awg to the amp the wiring upgrade got me from 12.6 volts to 15.7 volts to my amps so I'm getting my 1200 watts rms to my sub and it pounds. I would absolutely recommend Hifonics sub's and amps and Sonicelectronix.com Thanks for everything Sonicelectronix.com

Great Amp

Will push and blow 4 4ohm 12s...the more you pile on this Amp the more itwill produce never runs hot...great buy I bought two each.

same person as the other post from minnesota with 5*

Still taking 1 ohm my amp works fine. I live in minnesota its winter and gets below 0. Amp is solid its on a skar vvx 12 2.5 ported slot at 30-32 herts for 1 sub and amp i shut down a type r a pair of explodes and kicker dont try me without a L-series best amp at price i bought 4 different amps from sonic electronicx all 4 work this is my amp of choice it wont let u down and if it does buy another 1 get 1 that works and its a very good product.

update from minnesota

I rated it 4.5 stars for making a day out of trouble shooting im changing it to 5* when i bought the amp i thought it was gonna put out 900watts rms to my scar vvx 12 d4... after receving the amp i noticed it wasnt possible to hook it up to 2ohm load so i went for the 1ohm load and risked my scar. My lisence plate moves in waves and my bass nob fell off my lap with 1 sub and all windows down 5* clean power looks great and its 2006 compliant cant go wrong!!! Banging on a budget or with a wallet i would still recomend 5* and like always Sonic Electronics gave me a great product! SonicElectronicx for life!

Awesome Amp

This amp is amazing. It puts out great power and doesnt even get warm to the touch. I have a Hifonics Zeus Square 15" Sub and it slams. I need to build a bigger box, but the amp is perfect!

beast amp

This amp is a beast. I just got it in today. Hooked it up and it blew my kicker cvrs not even half up. So i took my cvrs into the local dealer where i bought them to b replaces. The amp pushes what it advertises. And its at a great price and the shipping is quick

best buy

This amp is truly awesome. I own 2 of these bad boys, and they rock. If you buy this amp, you would be really impressed with the true power it reproduces. The only negative to this amp is that it has no fan. One thing I can say: you won't be disappointed.

Amazing Subwoofer

Previously, I had a 15" Kicker Comp, and I loved it but it was too big and took up too much trunk space, so this time around I wanted something smaller and louder. I got it! This is a great sub woofer and will not disappoint, I couldn't be more pleased.

Totally worth it!!

Use to own 2 of these bad boys and had them in a slot ported enclosure in my Delta 88... never regreted the purchase because they stood up to their reputation in both SQ and SPL.. I would probably still have these if they hadnt been stolen from my brother when I loaned em to him to sell after my car got trashed... they last, sound great, and can play all spectrums of music accurately and clearly!!!

brutus 1200 brz

Great amp for price range. It was recommended to me by a friend. I have two solo baric L7's and it pushes them with no problems. Its a great purchase.

best amp

Best amp i ever own, i will be getting another soon

Excellent sub!

I'm running one of these with the 600watt amp made for this sub, and it sounds excellent.. actually made some plastic clips in my car rattle loose causing plastic parts to detach lol. Great sub just give it proper time to break in, I blew a 1242D (previous years model) by pounding it too early in the break in process. Once its broken in, it can put out a lot of bass for a long time without overheating or anything weird like that.

bumps hard

i bought this sub a while ago but bought a truck so i never quite had enough room for all my stuff and a big 12" ported box so i sold it to my friend. he has this sub in his trunk and even with the seats up it still bumps hard. He has it in a ported box and it really sounds good. He has it on an alpine mrp-m500 and you can tell it makes the sub happy just by how clear and loud it gets.

Best amp in its class and not that expensive!

This amp is a must if you want your system to slapp...i have 3 ppi 10in subs, a ppi pc104, ppi pcx104 and a ppi pc102 connected down to exactly 2 ohms and my god does it nock in my 95 chevy pickup, shakes the whole thing and clean bass had it on for like 2 hours and stays nockin best amp i ever owned... durability idk yet cuz ive only owned for 2 weeks and so far so good..

great subs, can take all you throw at them

Awesome subs. I have two of these in my 06 explorer with only 600 watt Sony pushing them because my other amp broke. They are in a fiberglass enclosure custom tuned to 34 htz. The subs with the amp and 2 guage wire and Optima battery surprisingly do plenty of shaking for me and I don't need any more power.

Very Impressive Quality

This amp is just simply amazing! I went from my Alpine MRP-M500 at 300RMS to this amp at 400RMS at 4 ohms and wow!.. this amp sounds way cleaner, much nicer and so much more powerful! I just bought this amp and ran it for about 20 minutes and was amazed. Cant wait to run it at 1ohm and really push the amp. Even with my weak electrical system at 12.8 volts it produces a lot of power and stays so clean!
Pros:
Clean!
Powerful
Highly Efficient! (Doesn't dim my lights like my Alpine MRP-M500)
Low Cost
Great Looks
Cons:
Have yet to find any real cons..... the black metal at the edges is very sharp.. so do be careful!

Alpine r 12

I have 3 Type Rs and they slam. There in a triple sealed box. Need to get another amp to power them. You can't go wrong with Alpine or Sonic.

Nice Upgrade =)

I just purchased 2 of these a few weeks back to replace my 2 kicker cvr's and there is clearly a noticeable difference in spl, these things pound hard! I have them in a ported box and the amount of air these things can push is almost ridiculous. I have them wired at one ohm running off a 1000 watt MB Quart amplifier which I also got from sonic and I am completely satisfied with my purchase. I would recommend these subs to anyone! Great spl and also great sq! Apline rules! =)

Hifonics BXi 1208D was good one this one should be too

I have Hifonics BXi 1208D running 12' type R at 1 ohm for about two years now. Great amp you need to read the manual to tune it properly. Definitely need a capacitor with it. Great amp i would recommend it to a friend.

Powerful for the price

I haven't personally clamped the amp myself but everyone on SMD forums say they do rated power. I have mine wired to 2 ohms on 2 Sundown Audio SA-12 D2's in a 4.5 cu.ft. vented box and they slam hard. And that's only running roughly 450 rms through each sub. It's also efficient. I'm running this on my stock electronics in my 2003 explorer (130 amp stock alt) and there is no dimming on anything. It's a very clean amp. I have it mounted to my back seat and it just looks perfect. We'll just have to see how long it stays alive.

Great quality amp for $$$.

I have this amp powering 2 12w6s & they hit hard wired at 2 ohm. I highly recommend this amp.

Great amp.

I am using this amp with 2 Sundown audio 12" subs "E series". I have 2 4 ohm subs and are wired up to a 1 ohm load. The amp hasn't had any problems at all. I bought this because I was on a budget, and am glad that I did. I have money now if i wanted to, but I just dont need to buy another amp because it works so good rite now. Great amp

good sounding amp

this hifonics amp beat my 15 hard good amp for the prices

True Power !!

This is a great amp. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lot of power at a cheap price.

Bang for your buck

This amp is an excellent choice if you want good performance at a great price. I've had this amp powering two Skar VVX 12's for about half a year now. This amp barely gets warm even after beating on it for an hour in the summer.

Great Amp

I have this pushing 2 P3's @ 1 Ohm and it does its job very well! The amp is pretty beefy to and looks great! The sound quality it provides is more than what I was expecting and I expect this to last a very long time. I know it's going to sound even better when a get an aftermarket battery. I have my stock car battery and it still sounds great but I can't wait to give this amp the full power it deserves.

Perfect and TRUE AMP

This product works excellent and correctly powers two 600rms 15" p3s i have. I hooked them up and it powers them perfectly. I would totally reccomend this for anyone that is looking to throw some serious power in their car. You may need to add a second battery though to stop the headlight dimming caused by the 1200rms.

Good Amp

The amp produces clear power down to 1 ohm. It is stable, efficient and cool. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost some hearing from all the bass.

Great deal

I have this amp on two kicker CVR 15's and they slam.

Amazing!

I have one 12" alpine type r and it hit pretty hard but now with this amp its stupid loud it hurts listening to it for a while... and best of all its cheap!

best bang for buck

I went head and got 2 of these with a hifonics brz1200 and did a custom ported box. box alone is big enough for 2 15s so for these 12s they HIT!!!! I have them in a chevy tahoe its flexing wipers, sunroof, side doors, and back hatch rattled so bad had to do 5 sheets of dynamat. overall get these they are crazy loud

Clean Power

I have this amp running 2 Alpine Type R 12's at 2 ohms. It produces loads of clean, controlled power. Havn't had any issues in the 6 months I've had it. The logo lights up in a cool blue color, which is nice. But my main concern is its clarity and accuracy, which is great. This is my first Hifonics amp and I would recommend it to anyone considering it.

Wow.

I bought these subs a couple of days ago and they BANG. My system is the loudest I have ever herd and I installed it for less than anyone I know with subs that are wayyy cheaper because of Sonic Electronix. And not to mention when I play rock and even old songs by the Beatles they add so much depth to the songs it's amazing. Like my studio speakers! 100% recommend these.

buy this and you'll be bumpin

My friend purchased this and i helped him install it into his mustang. he didn't want crazy bass so he got one. Not even broken in yet and its ridiculous for 1 sub. Sound quality is great and its still very loud. i would recommend this to people that want good deep quality bass.

okay for the price

Okay so I had this amp for 3 months before I sold it and it was an okay amp for the money. I had this amp pushing a 15 " Alpine Type R wired down to 1 ohm and it played pretty loud but I had to turn the gain almost all the way up to get it at a decent level. Sound quality was good but not great. its pretty power hungry so you better have something better than a stock electrical system or you'll be seeing a lot of headlight dimming and won't get the best results like I didn't. As for looks this amp is very stylish I like the blue Hifonics sign lol overal this is an okay amp if you don't have the cash for a more expensive amp. By the way I upgraded to a Rockford Fosgate T1000BdCp and its awsome. I wrote a review on that one too ;)

Great investment

It's the most Valuable Thing That I could have ever given to myself . The sound's Weight and clarity are incomparably unsurpassable.

Great subs for the price

These things pound. I currently have a Kenwood eXcelon 794x running to these subs and make them absolutely crisp. I have a Hifonics Brutus 1200 RMS and let me tell it pushes the subs to the max and you cannot tell they are not slowing down one bit. For the price and quality I would highly recommend these subs to anyone who is looking for sum slap.

BIG POWER FOR THE SMALL BUCKS!!

I recently purchased this amp as a budget project for my son's first vehicle...I was not expecting too much for only $240.00.... after critically listeneing to his sytem, I found this amp is quite robust and does seem to have high damping at high volumes. For so much bang their is really very little draw on his stock charging system. Really plays out well through the low tones. HIghly recommend to anyone. GREAT AMP FOR THE PRICE AT SONIC!

Serious Sub

I have this in a SonicElectronix slot ported box and wow does this put out some serious SPL's with 600 clean watts from an old Diamond Audio D5 600.1 amplifier wired in parallel. This combo sounds and feels like it's going to rattle my Civic Si Sedan to pieces. I am going to need some serious Dynamat to keep it all under control! I highly recommend this sub. There simply isn't anything better in this price range.

Some of the Best

I have two of these hooked up to an alpine MRP-M2000, getting about 750-800 watts rms each. They hit real hard. Mine are in a sealed box stuffed with polyfill. Get these and give them lots of power.

Wow

Awesome amp would definitely recommend it to my friends

excellent product

I would recommend because the rms it says it has is right on. Wasnt to sure intil i purchased and now i know. Runs my 1000 rms sub to the max.

First one broke, now the second one broke too

I am a professional installer and I hooked this up correctly but it just never worked well. so I sent it back and got a new one. No worries right? WRONG this time its lasted 4 months and it pooped out too. Time to send back to sonic's great customer service (I really mean it, its top notch). spend a lil more money and get something worth while like a Rockford Fosgate amp that would be my best advice to you friends. STAY LOUD!

Great amp for the money

This amp has done very well. I've had it for 6 months and not a problem yet. I was running 2 10in cvr's with this amp it pushed them damn good. Now I have it pushing 2 10 in Sundown Sa's and its Not enough power for them. I will be getting a bigger amp from the brz line.

good amp

I have this amp paired with a Rockford 12" t1 running off an optima and an extra shuriken battery and this thing slams, so far I have only turned the gain to about 1 or 2 o clock out of about 5 an its nasty for a single sub. I need to invest in dynamat. So far have had no problems besides adjusting phase but ill keep posted.

blown away

i first bought the boss onyx 1800 i had running 3 audiopipe tsvr's at 2 ohm load it worked well after they popped. Then i bought a scar vvx 12 d4 so i could run at 2ohm's at 900rms a little over rated rms by 300 watts on the boss the skar blew up the boss amp pulled out the sub leads were still silver!. I was a little worried that it would be to much due to running the boss and going to a 2006 complient amp the hifonics. CLEAN POWER LOOKS GREAT worth it at 159 made a offer got it for 147. only diss is that i had to jump a wire from the power to the remote for it 2 turn on couldnt figure it out for the life of me compleatly re ran my wires still no power tried the old jump trick turned on. Blue lights in my opinion are a nice touch that doesent scream i payed for lights not watts. just enough of a touch ima give a 4.5 stars only because i had a 6hr day trouble shooting! all in all would not only recomend to anyone its real power tested and proven again and again hifonics makes quality amps! buy it features cant be found under 300 at that power level!!!!!!

THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!

I really have nothing bad to say about this amp. Hifonics is a name of the past, yet based on reviews I decided to give the amp a try for the price. This amp pushes some raw power. I have it hooked up to a 10" Alpine Type R 10D4 pushing 900 watts @ 2ohm and she puts out a beautiful crisp clean sound. Great combination!

Good sub

Just installed one with an mrp-m500 and it hits good. Bought some more for me and accidentally spilled some epoxy on it. When getting the epoxy off, it peeled some of the cone with it which is when I noticed that the cone is not really "kevlar" but pressed paper with a metallic paint coat on top. Other than that, its a great sub...just wish alpine didn't twist the truth

bad azz for the price

Had since January and not one problem! I'm running two jl w6s 12's and that amp runs those without a problem. Will definitely buy from Hifonics again.

Ok amp

Worked well for about a year. Had it wired to 1ohm on some CVR 12's. Decent low grade amp. I would say one of the better of the cheap amps. Although if you wire it down to 1ohm i wouldnt expect it to last more than a year if it's being played every day.

I only got it cause i was strapped for cash at the time. And basically would only recommend as such. An amp to use for a year while you save for a better one. If you want more use than that id say dont wire to 1ohm.

Hofonic amp

This a very good amp. It has more than enough power

Excellent Amp Highly recommended!!!!

All features needed, high power output, looks amazing, hifonics blue light up logo is stylish. Sub sonic filter as well as low pass gives everything a sub needs. I run one of these amps on 2 subs and it never skips a beat and i run them at 1 ohm. Amazing product for the price!!!

Great Amp!!

I've had this amp for six months now and i love it! I can honestly say i have never experienced this amp even getting the slightest bit warm! It truly is an amazing amp!! I would recommend it to anyone!!!

Good Sub

This was the third sub I ever had and it sounded pretty good, I ran it at about 600 watts rms power and it hit the lows great. Definitely a good buy.

amp

It's been good so far till my sub stopped workin and then works and i know its sub so amp has been great. I've got it on a Kicker L7 till the subwoofer died.

The Beast!

I bought this sub and made a downward facing sealed enclosure with about 1.25 cubic foot air space. Running a 2000 watt amp and it hits great! Good clarity, thump, and rugged build. It kills in my large truck. I wouldn't need another since it does what I need, but if I did I would definitely get another alpine.

Not so sure

This amplifier, from the reviews, looked and sounded like it would be a good choice. I ordered it and received it in 3 days. Great speed for free shipping. The package wasn't damaged and everything inside looked good. When I wired it up though, that's when fuses on the amp started blowing. I got through and they offered a replacement or my money back.

Great amp

Had this on 2 dual 4 type r's and it slammed HARD. I had it in for almost a year and a half at 1 ohm and it never failed me. Clean power great price... Cant go wrong with this amp.

Great Sub! Nuff said

I wanted a sub that could meek my quality standards of rock music but i also wanted to be able to beat the block down with some bass if i had to and this sub does exactly that! I have two of them in a ported box and the make my windshield have excursion! Do not take a second guess just get it and you will be happy! Trust me

great price, awesome sound

I purchased two Alpine Type R 12" subs and they really bump but most importantly, they have great sound quality and are very durable. I highly recommend them

Well not sure yet

I bought these to replace my kicker cvr 12s, thinking higher x max would allow them to hit deeper than the kickers.I put them in sealed boxes and run each one with a Kicker 750 amp. They dont sound as loud and are distorting when turned up.Might be bad amp match up or I need ported box? I have however heard one of these subs in someones car ported and it sounded great so that is probably the answer.

God Damn!

I have four of these in a sealed quad box hooked up to a single alpine mrp-m2000, thats 500 watts per subwoofer, an alpine head unit with monster 400 series wires, optima yellow top battery and a kinetik's hc600 and all i have to say is god damn in the words of e-40 "my s*** bangs" great subs this is the 3rd system that ive had 12" typr r's and ive never been disapointed. I had a single original 12" type r in my caviler with a directed 1100d blew it but thats bound to happen when you double the rms to your sub then i bought two of then next series same directed 1100d in the same car sold them for 15 kicker l5's "dump stupid idea!" now i have four of the current models 2011 little r's 100 more rms then the last two series so yeah i know what i'm talking about when i say buy these muthaf***** subs they take a beating and sound great and for a this price s*** you would have to be stupid to pass them up!

This is all you need

This amp has POWER. I got this hooked up to two(2) 10" Alpine Type-Rs in a Memphis ported box and WOW, once you set your levels and everything right this thing has lots of potential. Be prepared to fix rattles! I had to fix multiple rattles caused by this amp LOL this involved putting a rubber padding behind my license plate, and pieces of foam in various places. It also has a nice blue glow, which looks good at night, not tacky.

ALPINE SWR-1243D

I have recently bought 2 of these bad boys, and let me tell you. For the price and Quality they're a steal!

Nothing like ALPINE or SonicElectronix when it comes to audio equipment!

Awesome for the price

The new third generation Alpine Type R has some pretty nice changes from the last one, like a higher RMS rating to be the best change, a slightly more shallow mount design, and a better motor cooling system... But the bottom line is this thing pounds hard for such a good price.

awesome sub

i have one of these bad boys in my car hooked up to a 500 alpine mono block. this thing bangs. i have it in my jeep liberty in a 1.5 cubic foot ported box. all i have to say is wow!!!!!! i get out of my car sometimes with my ears hurting. i plan to get a second one and another amp to power it. one is perfectly good for your car, but if you want to get some nice comments from your friends get two. you will not go wrong.

Great value, works great

I have this hooked up to a pair of RE SEX12D4, in a box custom built to the sub specs, and it frickin pounds! For the money, you absolutely can't go wrong, and it even looks good on top of the box next to my PG 4 channel, they both light up blue

best amp ever owned

Just got mine installed in my 1999 grand prix gt hooked up to 2 jl-w3 and they are insane very clean bass and hit super hard in my ported box. It's crazy, if i had more cars and this amp would be put in every one.

Great power at a Bargain price!!!

I purchased this amp for my brother. I have heard it and will have to say for the money you spend, this is a great amp! He has it pushing a T1D212 Rockford Sub, and it pushes it beyond its limit. We have never clipped the amp or (protect mode) it's great, and believe me he runs it hard@ 1ohm. I personally have a Rockford Fosgate T1000.1 amp. It may produce more power but you will pay more for it! All in all hifonics has not dissapointed GREAT amp for the price! I am rating this amp as if I own it, because my brother and I are joined at the hip so to say when it comes to being AUDIO freaks lol. Hope this review helps out. PLAY it loud fellow audio enthusiasts!!

Great amp!

It is BAD!!! 2 rockford fosgate he2 12's pound with this amp. Never gets hot. More than enough power to hear me coming a block away. BUY IT!!!!!!

Massive Power

BUY THIS BEAST! it has 1,200watts! all day. never hits protect mode. draws average amount of juice. (in my '90 civic) good sound. No problems with it in three months owned. Used and slightly abused daily. :) It is very stable at 1ohm!!! No lies in the products overview. Only con is that I lived so long without this amp. (I have it bridged down to 1ohm on (2) BRZ12SQD4 Hifonics subs) don"t be scared of this lesser known Name. I have the amp's gain at less than 1/2 but It still is heard blocks away!

BEST AMP EVER

I have this amp on 2 Kicker 10's and they hit super hard!!! This is the best amp ever!! I have had it for about a year.

clean power :)

Bought this amp over the summer to push 2 kicker CVR102 subs. Didn't take long for the amp the burn them out. I smelt smoke while cruising then eventually one sub started popping. Not sure why this happened having the subs rated for 800 rms together and the amp rated for 900 rms at 2 ohms. After that i purchased a single type R and this amp pushes it nicely; pushing the sub at 450 rms. Have it hooked into the stock system on my Jetta and it hits nice; not too much pounding, just nice clean and clear bass when the song calls for it. I Prefer the clean and easy bass over any pounding that i have had in previous set ups where the whole car shakes from the outside.

to say the least

I have this amp hooked up to a 13.5" JL Audio w3v2 in a built to spec ported enclosure. The sub slams as expected, with the gain to the max and playing a few bass heavy songs I can see/smell the sub fail with some of the long low bass notes. Amp is running at 2 ohms, the sub is 600rms 1200max.

great amp

Great amp i have it wired to 1 ohm pushing 2 4ohm dvc Apline typr-r 12's and it sounds amazing. The amp itself is quite large. Connections are easy to work with and felt sturdy.

Awesome System

Used this amp along with my 2 12" Alpine Type R's, One one of the hardest most clear systems I have ever owned. Great great amp, highly reccomend a good capacitor with this amp though, I have a 6 fared and lights still slightly dim. This is a powerhouse hungry Amp, but well worth it.

NICE!!

This is my first time buying from Sonic Electronics. They where on time with shipping that's a plus for me. This amp is very good i like the design and the power it puts out on my new subs. I have this amp powering 2 IMAGE DYNAMICS 12's and very impressed. Puts out good power i will recommend this amp to anyone. Thanx Sonic Electronics.

super bad

This amp is incredible. Ordering another one for other sub. Would definitely recomend to every one. The brz1200.1 is by far the best amp I've ever owned and compared to my Alpine m1000 it's by far more superior. I hate the m1000 compared to this amp do buy and good luck.

Big Bang for the Buck

I would have never said I would recommend a Hifonics Amp years ago, but I have to tell you this amp pounds my CVR15. I would highly recommend this amp to anyone on a budget that wants the vehicle to pound. In fact I will be ordering its brother the Zeus to do my mid high duty. These amps have changed over the years passed and are built with excellent quality. There are many useful controls to adjust the sound to your tastes.

Great amp

This is a great amp I installed it in my friends car with 2 CVR Kickers and they sound great I would highly recommend this amp.

Simply awesome

Bought this amp for Christmas and installed it today. In a works awesome. First time owner of this company's product and I will buy no other amplifier from this point on. I'm running it at 2 ohms, 900 W into two single voice coil pioneers and about knocked all the pictures off my wall in my house. I would highly recommend this amp for anyone. Has plenty of power and does not overheat.

Great Buy!

I would recommend this amp to anyone looking for great quality for a price that cant be beat. This amp is powering 2 alpine type r 12s at 2ohms. i have it on for long periods of time and it never has gotten hot or shut off once. I love this amp. definitely buy this amp.

It Rocks!

My kid has one in his car and i've got two in my boat. These speakers are tough, sound great & are reasonably priced.

Great Amp....Beastly

This is a great amp. Good bang for the buck. It is totally worth the cost and will hold it's on. I have two Alpine 1243d subwoofers and the total RMS for both of them are 1200 watts rms. The amp can most definitely supply the power when it's needed. It also has a bass knob which is very convenient to turn up and down when needed. The amp also looks cools and great style and the Hifonics letters glow when the amp is on. If you are tryin to supply the power needed for the speakers then this amp is a must to have. It is also good to know the amp is CEA compliant so you know you are getting what you are paying for..

Great Amp!!!!1

Bought this amp about 6 months ago. Its pushing two Alpine Type R 10's perfectly. Amp never heats up or cuts out. Plenty of power. Couldn't have asked for a better product!

Great sub

This is a great sounding sub and can a Lil more power than it is rated. have it wired @ 2 ohms n a ported box running off an alpine m500 amp. also tryed it on an alpine m650 n it handled it with ease. would recommend to any1 who loves tight clean bass

Awsome Sub Great Sound

Alpine Subs just rock, I have had Kicker CVR,CVX, and L7s, DD, Rockford, and JL W7s sure those are good subs great SPL so so sound quilty. For the price Alpine can't be beat nice SPL but also amazing sound quality ever at max volume, if you thank there not good it is prob your box you need to always have a custom box built for your car/suv for your subs to be the best they can, sure a prefab box works but the box makes night and day in quality. I have two in a custom 4 cf box ported around 30hz for SQ the higher the port the more SPL but the less SQ. There running off a clarion PDX11500 1500w RMS at 1 Ohm and its more then then Kicker L7 15" I just took out. Will always buy Alpine as long as they keep up the great work.

BZ1200.1

I have this amp. its the best. i was unsure about Hifonics, but this amp made me think different. I'm going to upgrade to a bigger Hifonics amp. but this did the job great. Looks cool with the led Hifonics brand.
It also says watts rated. No lie about that. A lot of power for 1 little amp.
GOOD FOR THE PRICE!!!
SONIC IS THE BEST.

Quality Sub

Absolutely no complaints. I've had this sub for 6 months and it hits hard.

BRZ 1200D

I'm running a Fi SSD 15" at 2 ohms off this amp. I don't have everything cranked up to the max and it still manages to rattle my mirror off. It's a great amp. Not one overheat/shut off. Would recommend it for anyone looking to do a 2 ohm setup at around 800 watts. It was cheap to boot!

great sub...great sound!!! wouldnt expect anything else from alpine

this thing pounds...i had one hooked up to rockford fosgate 500 rms amp..and it rocked this sub to h***...it pounds the heck out of my car...1 is all you need. if your looking for ridiculous bass get yourself a couple of these..you can run them on 2ohm at 500+rms and this things takes it like a champ

Omg omg

Best fricken thing I ever ordered in my life. With an unmatched price per quality level

By justin on April 18, 2022 Verified purchase

Beast amp!!

This amp slames my 2 kicker 10" cvr's mine is the 1200.4 model and rhis thing is beast! You can run componets and subs! I recomend this amp for anybody! It is one of the best amps made!

Buget Bass Booming

This amp is not all that to look at becauseit has a boring details but the blue neon words are nice. This is a great amp for the money and has some pushing power when wired at 1ohm and it doesn't get hot and shut down. I have it wire at 1ohm on 4 Massive Audio dual 4 0hm 12 in h subs in my sub and I have no complaint power is doing it job.

Power!!

This amplifier is more than expected! I have two RF P3's at 1 ohm and they slam hard and get low. I need another battery though. Just this amp is soaking up energy! I'm looking to get another one of these for each sub and wire em up at 2 ohm for the type of music I listen to and that means double the power! I can't wait! Highly recommend.

Great bang for your buck (literally)

Great amp, Puts out the amount of power they claim, it's always worked for me. The only issue is the fins on the side are pretty sharp haha.
Great amp

Power at a great price

My BRZ is running a single 15" Kicker CVR and it will rattle your teeth powerful. Running at 1ohm and its never shut down.

powerful

Love it. Other amps fudge the numbers on end and peak, Hifonics tells the truth trust me they have blown many subs of mine. It is still pumping years later.

BE READY!!!

This amp does beyond the sheet! They push my two T1 15's with ease. Man, oh man! You wont be disappointed!

AWESOME AMP GREAT PRICE!

I bought this amp to power my Alpine type-r 12's and this thing pushed them HARD. I bridged it to 1 ohm at 1200 watts the amp never overheated. Very strong amp, great quality, even better price!

great woofer

This is a great sub i got a alpine mrp-500 mono amp pushing it and it thumps really hard, great value for the money.

wow!!

Outstanding amp. Great power. I run it hard with no overheating issues. The remote boost dial is very handy.

Great amp

Both me and my friend have this amp my setup is two Kicker Comps and it moves them like none other and my friend is running his at .5 ohms and it still runs strong but his does get a bit warmer than mine.. but these things a brutal!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Amp!

I purchased this amp to power 2 Alpine Type R 10's and they work perfectly together. This amp never gets hot, and is pretty easy to tune. You cannnot beat the price sonic offers!
Great Deal.

Nice Amp

Although I have not owned many amps, the Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D is a very nice amp. It is powering two Alpine Type SWR-1243Ds and makes them hit! It is nice to know it is CEA compliant, however I could only get about 900-1000 Watts without it clipping. I knew this when I bought it though since there is no way I could run it at 14.4 Volts because my car puts out less than that under load. Overall it is a very worthy amplifier and would buy again if I needed to!

Power!

Only running a single 10" Fi audio SSD at 2ohm on this amp (for now), but it pounds. The illumination on the front is a little bright when I have my seat folded down at night, so I wish there was a switch for that but I can just fold the seat up if need be. Also the angled terminals are a little annoying getting the wires in but it does make the install look a little cleaner. So all in all, can't really beat this amps power for under $200. I will definitely buy another hifonics amp for my other car!

I was looking forward to upgrading my current Visonik V318XT amp to this amp hoping it would make my 2 12 inch cvr's louder. I was disappointed because to make it sound decent I had to turn the gain almost all the way up and put the bass eq on the amp about half way up. I also had to have the bass on the head unit all the way up. The higher bass notes were indeed much louder but this amp cant touch the lower bass notes. While I was trying to get it to sound decent I noticed my subs were starting to smell so I knew the amp was clipping. I immediatly unhooked the amp and reconnected my old amp. My old Visonik amp sounds so much better and hits the lows with ease even though it is much less powerful than this amp. Also with my visonik the gain and bass boost is only half way on the amp and the bass on the head unit can be on 0 and still sound really good unlike this hifonics. One good thing about the amp is that it looks really nice and the blue illuminated hifonics logo looks really cool!

True Power and Sound Quality

I got this installed yesterday and had only about 2 hours of full playtime from writing this review. POWERFUL amplifier indeed and priced so low! I used to have a Rockford Fosgate Punch BD500 amplifier, but sold it and decided to get something else. I'm very statisfied and pleased with my purchase. The subs I have powering are two 15" Orion XTR Pros in a sealed box and my whole car flexes including the windshield, doors, and even the hood. I'm afraid I might blow the subs so I'm hoping to go bigger to the Orion HCCA 10" sub soon to give a good match for the amp. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants loud audio and possibly the only amp ever needed if your just need a good car system. The sound quality of it too is amazing for bass. The only thing I wish all amplifiers would use is either flat head or philips screws instead of using a hex and the heat sinks on the side of the amplifier are sharp so try to avoid touching them when installing., but none the less this amp is awesome and never gets warm on me.

Definitely can't wait to play more. I love bass and this amp provides that need.

great amp

This is my second Hifonics amp. The first was the 1000D, but I have the 1200.1D on a pair of American Bass XD8's in a custom box tuned to 36Hz and this thing makes those 8's come alive. If you're looking for a strong amp, this is the one you need.

Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D

Absolutely fantastic amp! i have it running on 1 ohm at 1200 watts and I absolutely love it! Its pushing 1 power acoustic mofo 122x and it pounds! I've run it for 6 hours strait and it never gets hot. I've never had it go into protect mode plus the bass is crisp and clear. You can hear me coming home from 2 blocks away. Absolutely fantastic amp! I would recommend this to anyone!

top notch

I have the brz1200.1d and only running it @450watt. rms. The bass is so hard hitting, can't wait to have it running @ the full 1200w RMS. Have that beast hooked up with sony head unit, power acoustik pre amp, Power Acoustik cap. All bought from Sonic 6 months ago with no regrets. Anyone one wanting a top notch amp, you gotta try the hifonics line.

Great Deal!

This is a great amp. I would recommend to anyone that's building a system. I've been running mine for about 6 months now and never had any issues with it. It is pushing one Kicker 12" Solo-Baric L5 in a ported enclosure running at 1 ohm and it sounds great. I've played this thing for hours on end and it never gets hot. Just make sure you use at least 4 guage wiring and do your big three up front and this amp will never let you down!!!

the beast

These amps are some beasts. Well built quality amps if you want quality buy this.

Good bang for the buck

Nice amp for the price.

SICK!!

I currently have a kicker solo baric solo classic 10 in a sealed 2 cube box on a fusion 1000 watt mono amp. let me tell you, retail well over 600 and then i find this amp 3 times as good and alpine subs way better than my kicker. The brutus amp is a beast and i will be buying in the very near future. Overall great amp, great products, and excellent prices. Sonic Electronix is definately the place to shop and i tell every one of my friends and family and everybody to come here. Highly Recommend this site and amp.

sweet amp

Got this amp hook up to two 12inch kicker CVX and this amp does it job very well would recommend amp to anyone.

Amazing amplifier, even when only wired to 4 ohms

I have an RE Audio SRX12D2 wired to 4 ohms and even this is enough to shake the entire vehicle. I am more of a hard rock and metal fan, and this amp produces tight and accurate responses. The blue-lit Hifonics logo is pretty awesome, too. Great amplifier!

GREAT BUY

WOW!!! IT SOUNDS REAL GOOD. I POWERED MY 12' S L*5 SERIES. IT IS BAD ASS AND VERY LOUD, REAL LOUD

Beast

I have this amp pushing two 12 inch Kicker Solo Classics. They have all the power they need. Its a great looking amp too the hifonics word in the middle lights up blue and looks sweet. With all the features it has you cant beat this price. this amp is the real deal. Great looking and powerful. Sweet!

TOO LOUD!!!

I bought this amp knowing it would make my subs louder but when we wired it up it was way above my expectations. I have 2 12" kicker comp vr's and they sounded perfect with this amp. It made clean bass but it also was very loud and shook my entire house apart.

Great amp

My friend has this amp pushing a 15 inch l7 and it sounds great, its such a sturdy amp, all metal and heavy duty. I would get this amp but its not enough power for what i need...overall if you got the money and your subs match the ratings, don't think about it, just buy it. its the best amp for the money hands down.

POWER

Got this amp a couple weeks ago and it is powerful. ordering subs from this site because i blew the one i had to hold me over. didn't expect it would be so powerful on 13.5 volts. great amp. cant wait to wire it down to 1ohm.

Great amp so far

I just got this amp today and so far this thing pounds I still have some tuning to do but I can already tell it has MUCH potential. I currently have this running a 12" Alpine Type R @ 2 ohms and the thing sounds really good.

best bang for the buck

This amp cannot be beat for the price hifonics makes a high quality product for a low price.I have this amp running at 1 ohm on 2 15inch kickers and it hasnt even got hot and thumps hard I would buy this amp again anyday.

Pleased

I have two diamond d6's, was using a rockford fosgate 1000rms @ 2ohm mono which is overkill. Well this amps rating of 900rms @ 2ohm is just as good and quite cheaper. Only complaint is the plastic end caps and the fact the gain has to be all the way up. Like the subsonic filter which not all amps have. Ordered on a sunday afternoon on my phone, received it following Wensday afternoon, super pleased on that fact, price, and my 3rd order and once again great experience. When I need audio products, i'll be returning to SonicElectronix. Thanks guys!

replacement amp is great

First amp was bad, but the replacement amp is great. Powerful, good sound quality and runs cool. What more can you ask for from an amp? Also, Sonic Electronix did a great job handling the RMA. I will definitely be buying from here again!

Hifonics BRZ1200.1D & 2 Kicker 07cvr12s

I was a little sketchy when buying this amp but im glad i did. This thing pushes my 2 kicker cvr 12s like nothing set at 1 ohm. It has clear and clean sounding bass. I like how its the perfect weight and size. Would recommend this amp to anyone that wants great clean power for a good price.

good value

This amp is a beast. Lots of power. I have two 15" Massive Audio subs, 800 watts rms. Vent boxes 8 cube feet tune at 37 hz wired at 1ohm in a 2001 expediton.

Great little amp

Driving Morel 10" sub in 1.0 cu. ft. sealed cabinet. I am a SQ guy and driving this with the Brutus. It never heats up and gives me plenty of power to my 2 ohm Morel. I do not think I will be able to buy a better amp for twice the money. A lot of my friends use this with 2-4 subs to thump. I do not need that!!!! If you are in the market for a good mono amp this should be in the running.

Powerfull

I'm pushing two RE Audio SE-X subs at 1 ohm. The RE's are rated at 750 watts RMS each and this pushes them no problem. My only complaint is with the tuning. There is no frequency adjustment for the bass boost. I've had multiple Hifonics amps in the past and they all had that function. I assumed this would also, but its at a set frequency.

True 1/0 gauge!

Swapped out my old 4 ga db link amp kit with these tsunami wires and noticed an improvement instantly! These wires are monsters and still extremely flexible. Their a bit hard to solder since the jacket melts. But for the price this is the only wire I know of thats 100% ofc and not copper clad alluminum. Its the real deal and for the price its a steal.

Great Value

This am is really good its built good to start but it puts out watts like no ones business... I have three ten inch alpine type-s subs and i cant turn the amp up all the way it pushes them way too hard. This amp is a must have!!

good and keep its value!

Great amplifier no problem at all! ounds good loud and everything you want! 2 months ago i changed my brutus to a Audioque2200 and sold my brutus for this amplfier keeps its value alot! one problem the temrinals on the amp as an angle so its pretty hard to connect wire sometimes.

Awesome!!!

I would like to say that I recommend this Hifonics amp or any of the Hifonics Brutus amps in general! Ive had mine hooked up for about 3 weeks now and since, blown 3 subwoofers lol and thats just going to show you how underrated and powerful these amps are!

This amp has never over heated yet and/or even got warm at all!!! Must have amp if you are on a budget for sure! Also, the Hifonics on the amp lights up as a really cool blue color! Not like that matters but pick this amp up!!!

Bad A** Brutus Power!

Have owned 4 now. Best amp for price range, period! I have used it in multiple applications with solid results. Installing car audio 20 years, it is a great product.

Big Power

I first started looking into HiFonics products because of the value. After reading the reviews, I tried them out. This is the best sub amp I've ever owned. Plenty of power! I am pushing 2 Rockford Fosgate P1's and am running it at about 50% Subs slam! The amp lights up blue, remote adjustible gain is awesome! Buy this amp. You won't regret it!

Makes noise

Amp is alright, does the job and makes noise, however lacks a little in the lows, and wont even touch the LOW lows. Had multiple shops look at the amp and adjust the settings and it just wouldnt hit them. If your just tryna slap, this will work, but if you are a true bass head, keep on looking.

Really strong amp

On my latest upgrade I decided I would probably need another amp and that the kicker 1000watt amp wasn't going to be able to push 4 subs at once so I bought this amp because i didnt want to spend all that money on another kicker amp. I wanted to test it out by trying to run all 4 subs to it because it is rated higher watts than my kicker. And these subs were putting out around 1700rms, i had 2 10" kicker CVRs and 2 kicker 8" L7s the amp pushed the subs really well at just half power. Id reccomend this amp to anyone, got here in 3 days too!

great power for price

I got this as a short term use amp to hold me over and it worked great. It does rated power just not the cleanest power, 1200 Max rms, any more and its a clipped signal. As with all maxxsonics product first was DOA.

awesome

Awesome amp never over heats had it 6 months no probs will buy more Hifonics products when they are not on backorder. Had it hooked up to one s15 L7 solo baric and it pounded. Best amp i've owned to date and owned everything but JL audio.

Nice :)

I love this amp so much, its very sweet looking with the illuminated blue "Hifonics" logo, whenever people check out my system they always point it out, This things got power, I blew out a kicker Cvr 12 from this bad boy. When both those subs worked, it was stupid, everything rattled, my phone, mirror fell off, I have a cross that hangs from the mirror and thing never stopped shaking. My 01 jeep cherokee is the loudest system at school, wouldnt doubt town, This amp pushes subs well, real well. JUST FREAKIN GET IT!

I love it

This amp is the best. This is my first amp that worked, and all i can say is wow. I've heard many of my friends amps, and they do not compare at all. This amp is power hungry so i suggest getting an extra battery. Other than that get this amp, you will love it.

amazing amp

This amp performs well above expectations i have been abusing it for the past few months and never had a problem it barley even gets warm even on these hot 95 days I recommend this amp to all my friends a quality amp for a cheap price a must buy

VERY UNDER RATED............

If you buy tis amp you better have some very good subs. if you hook this up to any thing @1 ohm that cant handle 2000 TRUE watts rms,its gone. i have owned this amp for 6 months and have been through RE's, MOFO's,COMP's...... you name them , they all faild. only thing for me to do now is buy i more HF1200.1 and sink over a grand in two 18 FI BTL N2's. this should be fun and loud. i highly recomend this amp, cheap price but not if you dont have right subs, cause you will spend all the rest of your $ replacing them.................lol

Excellent

This amp is absolutly the best amp iv ever owned, its true wattage and this amp is no joke, it powered my 2000 watt 15" Alpine type r, it could of powered two of those subs easily. I also had it powering 3 jl audio 12s, it did perfect. it sounds great, its simple and it looks so tight haha. I highly recomend this amp, just make sure your ears can handle it. ;)

Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D

Amp did it's job. It did draw quite a bit of amperage to make its power. Overall, decent.

excellent product

I would recommend because the rms it says it has is right on. Wasnt to sure intil i purchased and now i know. Runs my 1000 rms sub to the max.

great amp for the price

Ya its not name brand but it has just enough to make my 2 solo barics move pretty good, haven't had any complaints.

one of the best

i have had this wiring kit for three years and it is still powering my audio like the first day i put it in.

great amp

amp works great never gets warm makes jl w6 pound.

Great amp!

This is a very powerful amp. I have it powering a sundown audio sa-12d2 and it does great. Doesnt even get warm. Im considering on getting another sundown audio sa-12d2 because I know this amp will push them with no problem.

Eh....... so so

I just put this amp into my 2000 Honda Civic with stock alternator and grounds upgraded to 0 gauge. 0 gauge from the front battery to a distribution block in the trunk with 4 gauge running to the amp from there. Hooked up to a 10" RE Audio SXX dual 2 ohm sub down to a 1 ohm load and..........not that great. The box is very very close to spec ported and still not hitting as great as I thought it would. The gain/level is a little past half with no clipping at any point but supposedly that's where 4 volts would be if I eye balled it correctly which is what my Alpine head unit puts out. HU is at +2 on bass and still does not amaze or satisfy me.

In conclusion its not pushing this sub like I thought it would, nothing "crazy loud" or "super hard".

worked for a few months

Was working ok for a few months, didn't seem like it was putting out its advertised power as i had to turn the gain almost all the way up to power a 600 watt sub at 1 ohm. Then today it blew and just about caught on fire, not very impressed.

Not pushing my sub!

I purchased this amp to power a 12" kicker cvx and when i got it wired up, it doesnt even move the cvx unless the gain is turned about 3/4 up at 1 ohm which should be blowing the subwoofer? i have a solid 14.6 voltage so clearly these amps are not what they say they are or i have a defective. Also my fuses are froze in the amp and cannot be taken out. My friend has the hifonics 1500.1 and his fuses will not come out either. i will write another review after i receive a replacement. Don't get me wrong though, i have heard many good things about hifonics and im sure i just got the lemon. :)

Solid Built Enclosure

This enclosure is very solid and made very well. My subs hit clean and low. I forgot HARD as HELL. Wise Choice from My sales rep at Sonic.

Thanks

Great kit

This is probably one of the most reasonably priced 0 gauge ofc kits on the market. Supplies plenty of juice to my mtx 1500w rms amp. Best deal I found and is superb quality. Been using it for 6 months and couldn't be happier.

Good

Good amp. Not very dependable though. Blew 2 amps within 4 months. Sent it back for the second time so they can repair it. When it was working it sure did slam. Running on 2 12" Alpine type r's.

tsuami amp01bl amp kit

Very satisfied with product. When it comes to quality a quality amp kit with a quality car system, you want the best for. The best sound quality. Even after a year I find that tsunami is my favorite. no problems. AT ALL! Sonic Electronix was very professional and prompt with the delivery. I would Definately recommend them to all my friends. Why buy them at a store when you can buy them from sonic electronix where the quality is so much better for a better price. I'm not the one to give reviews but I thought it was the appropiate way of showing my satisfaction.

Subs and box

Just as good as any other.

Nice Box

My customer was very happy with the cost and quality.

great

awesome amp kit for the price
pros tinned oxygen free copper wire
true spec awg
CEA compliant
cons
none

works good

The box sounds great. Does not handle alpine type r very good. Blew the back off it with in two weeks.

Great Product for Great Price

The box came in great condition and was at a very low price. Great company to buy from. Highly recommended!

great wire

Great kit for the price. True 0ga wire. Could use a longer ground wire and I had to upgrade to a 300a fuse. Wire is sturdy but very pliable and looks great!

poor quality

Fell apart after a month. It can't handle rockford ps3s

get the job done

Installed a 2500w rms amp with a shuriken skbt10 in a friends car and seems to do a good job. Definitely will buy tsunami wiring kits again.

tsumani 0 gauge wiring kit is the best

This kit came with everything needed to install like a pro

Good

Hits good. Glad I bought it,

PERFECT

kicks a** everything fit perfect this is what you need if your running more then 1000 watts

very good

Puts power to amp very well and looks good.

nice

This box is real nice. Worth the money!

Box

Great box works well sturdy.

works great !!!

The box work perfect the my sons car he love's the set i got him for xmas :)

Its a box

Nothing too fancy, keeps my subwoofers in place.

Affordable sound systems

Very pleased. No problems. Everything works great.

Great Box

Holds up great. Looks awesome in my Bronco II. Sounds awesome.

Good Box

For a sealed box, this box is a good purchase. While the banana clips in the back do often unscrew loose while trying to attach the speaker wires (not completely off, but loose enough to be a pain) the box provides plenty of room and makes my bass rock the whole neighborhood!

Awesome Wire

Have had more than one of these kits and this wire is awesome!

Great Value

Great product as always from Tsunami... Great Price and fast shipping from Sonic Electronix.

Good value

Bought this because of the price. Worked out well. Tsunami gives you enough wire to run it all except for the ground cable is a little short. Coupled this with the big three upgrade kit, HO alternator and a yellowtop battery. No dimming lights and no dropping of deep notes. I would also recommend upgrading the fuse. Its only 250 amp.

Good Box

This is a pretty solid box. It gets the job done. after 6 months of use, some of the carpet is starting to wear away, but they box is still solid and beating hard. The wiring clips come loose constantly however. I epoxy glued them in place to fix the problem. Only complaint.

Its a great deal

It's a very nice package. The power and ground cable are 0 gauge it is what it says it is. The fuse holder is nice and solid. Everything I buy from SonicElectronix is top quality and fast delivery. I will only buy from Sonicelectronix!

ok

I have my 2 12'' 1500watt Boss Chaos extreme ssubs in the is and the box is hold up to expectations.

Nice Install kit

The power wire is blue and has a nice connector on one end and the ground is like a clear with a connector on one end also. I really like the fuse block. On my last system I had one of the glass fuse setup's and had the solder that holds the metal bar on the inside of the fuse melts before the fuse actually blows. It took me a while to figure out the fuse went bad cause it didn't look blown. Overall if you have big amp and need some 1/0 gauge wire this is the kit to get.

Great Price And Kit

All I have to say is I really love the service that SonicElectronix provide with the fast shipping and all. Also the product is as what they said you would get and the power it kicks out and provide is beyond excellent!!! Thanks SonicElectronix, you have a loyal customer here.

Great Amp Kit

This amp kit is a FANTASTIC bang for your buck. Wire isnt cheap, and it flexes very easily. Top notch all around. Biggest let down is that it does NOT include RCA's.

Awesome wire for the price

gave it 4 stars on features because the kit does not come with rcas overall is a great kit true 1/0 n ofc

expecting better

I bought this box with some kicker 12's and the box was not that great. I mean, its a box, how can u screw up? Well u can apparently. First the glue makes my car smell horrible. The points where the screws go in weren't catching the wood when installing. And the seal off point between the 2 enclosures are vibrating so loud that I have to jam soccer balls and pillows against the top of my trunk to push the box down. Oh and I just installed it 2 weeks ago.

Not as pictured.

Box is OK quality. Could be sealed better. Did not come with polyfill as shown in photos. No logo either. I would of returned it if it was not such a huge item.

Great Kit!

Wire is true to guage, all components are sturdy and look great. It's been 6 months and I've had no problems at all. Sonic's shipping is always fast, packages are always very well packed to prevent damage and the order is always accurate. This is a fantastic company with fantastic products and prices!
