realize that no amp is 100% efficient so with that being said.. AQ line of amps all do rated power plus some but all that depends on your voltage,ohm load things like that. Also the gain knob is not a power button...Again THE GAIN KNOB IS NOT A POWER BUTTON, with that being said the aq is able of giving your the desired 2200 watts of power you desire but you must use an oscope to keep it clean what do u mean it not a power button..wtf...its a gain knob, when did i say it was a power button...lol i believe that he is referring to people using the bass boost to control the volume of the subwoofer. IMO whats the difference between a gain or bass boost remote? In all honesty i dont fully understand enough to give you a good answer. but from what i can think. is that it is used to adjust to the signal clippage. such as low notes can cause more clipping than higher notes etc.. soo adjusting the bass boost helps you tweak the power so that your amp will send clean power to your sub. (this is just a guess) lol i dont know for sure. but ive seen countless times that the bass boost is not a volume knob. i just never really asked why. so i will be following this to see if there is a much more educated answer

haha well i figured id ask. im looking into an AQ 2200 and the crecendo 2000. but id like to keep it all DC.

how much are the dc 2k's? just ball park i dont need a pm or anything im going to take a stab in the dark and ask if its over 500$

the new crecendo's use the same board's ad DC and the sundowns (i think) . they'll do rated as well and are dirt cheap but the AQ will do over 2200 if your electrical is right.

imagine that engine in a F350 dually. YEEhaw. about 3000lbs lighter lol

x2 thats an awesome deal.

when i saw that i was jaw to the floor looking at that chick. then when the mack came out.. i jizzed in my pants lol

thats definitely a user error. if the guy wasnt a dick about the whole thing and came to you saying that his friend did this depending on how expensive the equip is you could maybe do a small discount. but overall. its still his fault. i guess the way he handles the replacement of the speaker its up to you if you want to cut him a break. but i would also explain to him why you cant just crank the gain or set the xover to +2 so that he can smack his friend for being a dumbass and prevent future issues like this from happening

same here.

cheers i have this deep down feeling that im corrupting this kid with my avi

hey man if he doesnt buy it can you pm me a price. as well as power ratings. sorry for thread jack.

well im not suggesting that you go out and buy a bunch of power acoustik stuff. im just merely saying that most brands have good and bad merchandise. and im not trying to insult your friends, but im sure you would be better off not listening to their advice. they probably have little to no experience with real sound systems and extreme bass. i would say that if you have any question, EVEN if its a dumb one you should ask it on here. people will give you advice and most often than not give you constructive criticism. most of the people on here are not going to say "your a dumbass for asking such a noob question" or anything of that sort. but they will correct you on things you may say that could be wrong.

hey man my power acoustik 4 channel is a champ haha. may not be a super heavy weight boxer but it sure aint no walter weight. but YES i admit that is the general rule. but i wouldnt go so much as stay away from them but i would say dont expect them to be amazing. most every company has different equipment that is good and some that is crap. but since you are learning i would suggest that you post whatever you are looking into buying on here first. many people have probably either used or had some sort of experience with the equipment. it will help you spend your money wiser. because music is truely a money pit, but worth it if you do it right

ive seen two 8's in a 4th order. sounded damn good. good luck with the sale

yeah i was thinking that maybe in the future i would upgrade because its been a year of slowly collecting the stuff i need to start it. so by the time i want to upgrade even more i figured id have the extra money. i dont see me getting anything more than the 2200 any time within the next couple years. i agree 100% with your statement but i just want to make sure that with this set up i wont have any noticable changes if i used the kca over OFC Look at mechmans website he's bow selling shok and I think if you email the email in the thread about it they have a SMD price for te OFC spools holy cow. 184.. how much cheaper do you think he would go.. i doubt if i can get anything better than the kca for <130 range that ill be able to afford it

one is copper clad aluminum and the other is 100% copper. but the Kca cables are a little larger to offset the difference. thats what i heard anyways

its in a ford f150

stock alt.(wanna say 130 a) and an xsd3400 in the back. i will be ugrading everything slowly but surely

I have a tight budget and was planning on buying 50 ft of 1/0 power cable.i cant afford the 200 dollar 100% copper spools if i bought the KCA cable and did 2 runs from the front battery to the rear battery would that be sufficient enough for me to run an aq2200

seat belt bolts arnt good grounds because the bolts have alot of mixed metals that create more resistance. you would be better off grounding straight to the battery neg or sanding down and grounding to your frame
