AQ 1200.1 D is the ONLY Amp i have ever owned
also i went from 1.5 cu.ft on a single 10" sd 2.5 sub at 35hz to 2.00cu.ft at 35hz and it was way better. completely only thing in the set up that changed was the box not the port placement sub placement or type of port only thing that change was cu.ft
and Ken at AQ , AMICustoms , Dan and few other people recommended 35-38hz an .5 cu.ft more for each sub then a normal 12" cause of the fact that they like more air and they like being tuned in that area. ye si have tested it yes they o like more air.
-
how far from the back wall does my port need to be?
-
no 1 AudioQue SD 2.5 woofer has .09 displacement. and 4.cu.ft is to small last time i am going to say AQ Subs like alot of air and perform better on a lot of air.
-
its .18 with 2 sorry its a .09 cu.ft difference.
its going to be double baffle maybe a tie rod in middle but its not so much power that it need anything special like resin or support.
-
no way going less air space port will just have to be worked with AudioQue like a lot of air and ken at audioque recommended 5.00cu.ft
and everybody told me that i should give them more so. help me work with the port needs more or less port?

2-AudioQue SD 2.5 12" Subs
on 1200.1D 600watts rms 1200 peak at 1 ohm
in 5 cu.ft ported at 36hz roughly
port all the way on the left side
port and subs fired to the rear
subs sharing air.
-
there is no problem at all we havent tested voltage drop or what this amp will do to it.
-
audioanonymous and i have a deal worked out for 1/0 to 4ga reducers already in process thanks everyone for the opinions obviously 1/0 won but just to let you know them stinger reducers do not fit in AQ1200.1 D Amps. just saying i bought one already.
-
bump should subs share air space? port what side
-
http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=IXOS-PK0
on a 1/0 to 4ga reducer?
anyone think so?
i like em shaved to. -
well i was thinking dual input 4ga wire so 2 runs of 4ga to dual inputs on a aq1200.1D cause with KNU you gotta shave 1/0 so flipping much to fit it in the aq1200.1d
-
just to remind yall AQ1200.1d amp.
-
-
audio anonymous PM me i like to get some pricing.
-
i favor your opinion but i have 1/0 knu oxygen free to my AQ 1200.1 D stock alt big 3 and i still see a heavy voltage drop at full tilt. another battery on a 60 amp alt your killing the alt slowly .getting more power to back is just healthy for the amp and instead of 4ga i want 2 runs of 1/0.
-
do you know his price ranges by any chance?

Actually, higher preamp voltage means the signal has to be multiplied less by the amp to achieve the necessary input voltage. Every head unit has a little bit of inducted noise that flows through the system as distortion. By reducing how much you need to multiply the input signal you reduce how much you multiply the inducted noise, meaning you will get less inducted noise coming out of the output of the amp. That means more of the power coming out of the amp is usable.
It can make a difference on both sub stage and front stage, sounding cleaner and potentially louder even if the system is tuned properly and exactly the same before and after the switch. There are numerous accounts of people gaining in numbers just because of switching to higher voltage preamps.
daily driver not looking for number looking for louder bass without doing much upgrading amp sub wise.
( electrical is already in mind but expensive im working on it )

Upgrade to something with a better EQ or something with better Ipod/Mp3 interface or upgrade to something with a more user friendly display or upgrade to something with a feature you know nothing about but are excited to play around with.. The 2v to 4v is just icing on the cake and a step towards more current HU trends.
I still have 2v and I still use CDs, I don't have any Ipod, SD, USB, or MP3/Aux capability and I am getting pissed more and more every day.

thank you this was very well explained and i understand what your saying now.
but now in your opinion my set up is still small but i have a outdated sony xplod and if i did upgrade would you say upgrade to a 4v pioneer kenwood jvc or alpine?
BTW i seen your video nice flex on little wattage and your port looks fucking awesome how did you still calculate it with all that?
The port calculations were all done on AutoCAD which made things very easy and the box itself was just like any other box! Thanks for the compliment I hope to post more vids with full power potential.
-Drew
i will be looking for them videos i would highly appreciate if you checked out my log and watched my vids and seen my pics. your video was very impressive to me and i actually showed a few friends who were impressed as well and i love the port!
and first comment that sucks sorry to hear that bro i keep pushing myself towards a 4v pioneer headunit.

You want to amplify things gradually for best results. When you give your amp a very low input and expect normal operating output the amp will work harder as opposed to a higher input. Everything is a bit easier when it is gradual. But, with a very basic simple setup these benefits will be much smaller and if you are worried about raw output then (in theory) it will be exactly the same. The only difference is that your gain will be set low for 4v and high for 2v but you should be able to reach max output. The gradual stepping IMO is more for large complicated setups with several amps working at maximum capacity with a higher risk of stress and failure.

It's worth it imo, the amps pre amp has to work less, and typically the HU will have a better DAC
DAC?

If you set your gains correctly there should be no difference assuming each unit is designed to run between 2 and 4 v . Now, the 4v will give you more potential output but not really more clean output. The gain is used to match the amp output to the preamp voltage it would mean with a 2v preamp the gains will be set higher than with the 4v preamps.
so why does everyone go 4v headunits of its not that big of difference i am not saying your wrong i am just trying to learn.
-
4V Pre amp headunits how much of the upgrade is really worth it form 2v to 4v ?
will i see a big difference in bass?
From a 2v xplod headunit really cruddy( not cause of brands cause of age ) to a 4v pioneer alpine kenwood or jvc ?
i do realize that there is a headunit section in forum but when i post there i get no answers sorry
-
more opinions and stuff were really trying to get our thoughts together before we start this build

looking for some dual inputs that fit in the aq1200.1d any recommendations.
(remember its 4ga input but i wanna be able to run 2runs of 1/0 wires to it )
or would it be better to run 2 runs of 4ga instead of 1 run of 1/0?
big 3 will be done as well. trying to have less voltage drop as possible. without spending $500 on a new alternator. ( extra battery has been in mind not trying to kill current alternator either.
this will be for a daily driver. on 2 aq sd 2.5 12" subs on 600 rms each 1200 peak wired at 1 ohm.
i like em shaved to.
does this box look right?

take double baffle out of the equation. not happening
