Buy Hifonics GLX1000.1D Gladiator 1 x 1000 Watts and 1 Ohm Amplifier Now

I've had a Punch amplifier in my car for years, and always thought it was a bit lacking.

This amplifier has been a wonderful upgrade, it has significantly more power than what it replaced. Installation was straightforward as the car was already wired for the old amplifier. I'm not sure I would have been able to run the cable from my battery to the unit myself, so consider installation costs if you aren't too handy..

Sonically, this amplifier was a very nice upgrade. The bass in clearer and louder than my old amplifier. It didn't take long to get it properly adjusted, and sounding great. So no complaints here, it sounds great, looks great, and dropped right in for me.

This was installed in a Chevy Suburban, and it sounds good! Nice, solid bass, but doesn't shake the truck (or the neighborhood). Clean bass requires power, and this has that. Getting power to run it required a direct, fused lead to the battery, and then it was pretty easy. I am running two 12" woofers, and getting no discernible distortion. I took off one star because it gets pretty warm.

Lets be serious. No one that would buy this amp is messing around. Only hardcore car audio fanatics (like me) would choose something this slamming to power their bass section. As it should be.

I've tried (and blown!) dozens of amps over the years. This one really gets the job done. I'm currently using it to ruin my eardrums via a 12" Crunch sub, mounted in a box in a Dakota club cab. The air pressure that the sub produces is prodigious, and this amp HITS HARD.

In addition, its really beautiful, and the metal work is meticulous and clean. It looks like its quality and feels like it too. Hifonics is in the same product group that brings us Crunch, Maxxsonics, Quart and others. I usually like most of their things, and this one is no exception. Pounding, just pounding.

From what I can tell, this is a pretty solidly built amplifier and it looks like it will hold up fairly well. The case is not completely metal and includes chromed plastic, and that is of slight concern, as the housing with the holes used to fasten the amplifier to the your cabinet or car floor is made of plastic. I am not sure why they decided not to make the end caps out of metal, but I hope that the plastic end caps will be durable. Barring the plastic, this amplifier certainly feels very solid.

The amplifier has a pretty nice control set that will allow you to tune your subs fairly well from the amplifier end. The subsonic filter will allow you to cut frequencies below a certain point, keeping you from wasting power on reproducing frequencies that you do not need; this setting goes from 15Hz to 35Hz. There is, as there should be, a low pass filter as well, that will allow you to filter out all frequencies above your desired crossover point.

There is also a bass EQ setting that I personally do not recommend using, as it boosts your bass and can cause not only muddy, overly-bassy sound, but it can also cause your speakers to extrude further than they should, causing voice coil damage. In addition to this, there is a remote volume boost control box that allows you to remotely change the volume of your amplifier. I do not recommend this either, as it is no substitute for proper system setup and you will be arbitrarily adjusting the bass response. Some might not be as concerned with proper flat frequency response as I am, so this might actually be a positive for some.

I would suggest setting the system up with a real-time frequency analyzer to ensure that you get a flat frequency response and do no go overboard with booming bass. Just because you can doesn't mean that you should. When properly tuned, this amplifier can add the proper reproduction of low end frequencies to your system and give you a great sounding setup.

A wiring diagram is provided for those who are not familiar with series-parallel, parallel-parallel, series, or parallel wiring. THIS IS VITAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE WIRING THEIR SUBWOOFERS. If you do not know how to figure resistance properly, PLEASE refer to their chart, as it will show you how to wire your speakers to get the proper ohm rating.

Another note: if you display your amplifiers, you will like this one, as it has an illuminated blue logo across the top and it glows blue when it is on.
