one SQ 3500 is actually rated at 4300 @ 1ohm @ 14.4v... 2 SQ 3500 linked are rated at 8600 @ 2ohms @14.4v

oh ok lol what's the difference between S and D?

ok so right now I'm about to be just running 2200w from a diehard platinum marine battery under the hood and gna upgrade my big 3 and get a 270A alt from mechman. but I plan to eventually upgrade to maybe as much as 8kw out of a pair of SQ 3500s. at that point I'm sure a 270A alt and a single battery wouldn't be enough to run both of those amps. possibly not even one of them. how big a battery would I need to run 1 of these amps and how big for 2 of these amps? I don't completely understand atm how the amp hours and stuff like that converts to be able to tell how much it would take to handle how much power yet that's why I'm asking.

if you gotta ask you probably can't afford it... lol jk... they aren't cheap though... but you gotta pay for quality and they definitely qualify as quality

Do you have clearance above the 18 height? Or would that put it against your ceiling? I'm thinking about putting the port and subs on top but there would need to be room for it to breath

Oh yea that's plenty of room for a ported box for some 12s... And a single sheet of mdf would be plenty to do it... I'll run some numbers and get you something you could use... You will also need to order some pvc pipe but that isn't too expensive...

if you came up with numbers that would help. I can imagine trying to send the precut wood for you to build your own box might be kinda pricy though so that's why I said it would be good for you to try to get the wood and do it yourself with a cut sheet... if you do have the wood work shop like we had on every base I've been on there should be a guy there that if you take him the wood and the cut sheet he should be more than willing to help you get good cuts and put it together.

also if you post in the subwoofers/enclosures section of the forum you are probably more likely to get some good input on the box from more experienced people than just me lol

I ordered the RF400D and JL C3-650's from Sonic about 10 days ago... Today I just got in the mail the head unit and speaker wire so just missing the amp and JL's and a sub of some sort... I checked out both the subs and amp you mentioned and as for the cost that are well within my budget... But the other missing part of the puzzle is a box of some sort to put a pair of 12's in... I might end up getting a prefab style box... Unless I can find someone that can send a "kit" and I build it here... John it's kinda dangerous to say on this forum "I might end up getting a prefab box" lol prefab boxes are not worth much more than a good place to relieve your feces around here... you should probably have a wood shop around the bass somewhere though and plenty of ppl around here can mock up specs for a box that you could cut and put together yourself it's not all that dificult... I'll see what I can come up with and send you a cut sheet if you like how much space are you willing to give up?

I would think a pair of some Sundown Audio E series subs would be small enough power to not get you in trouble but still be enough power that if you want to you can bump it up and rattle some cages... stick those on a SoundQubed 750 should sound nice.

lol I been on here for a really long time but just noticed this thing... I'm John found out about this site from the same person that got me started on subs by selling me his first pair when he upgraded and they wound up sounding better in my car than in his lol granted they were some cheap Boss 12s in a xXx prefab box running on a kenwood 1000w peak 300w rms amp so they weren't actually all that great either way lol but to us it sounded AMAZING. Now I'm currently running a pair of APX TXX 15s soon to be on a Q1-2200D amp and already have plans once I have the money to upgrade to a pair of HDC312s and a Q1-3500D... I built the box that my 15s are currently in and I plan on building the box that my 12s will go in too once I get them.

lol you beat me to it... I'm not on mobile though and it so far has only happened to me on one thread in the subwoofer/enclosure board (the one titled 33Hz)

you can get 500 watts for $50, Lanzar, Pyle, rockwood, soundstorm, boss... look again buddy... he said 5kw

lol made me do the math too... the AQ 2200 I'm tryina get comes out to like $.18 a watt lol

Running IE on my work computer (I know IE sucks but it's all I got at work) and still takes forever to load stuff sometimes and my browser always resets for a split second when I go back to the home screen... but it's IE and it's a really old computer on a sketchy internet connection so it might just be that and have nothing to do with the forum... to my knowledge I don't have that problem with any other websites though so might be a problem with the forum just running too much data and it confuses the browser lol

well good luck man on the cutting back drinking and great to hear you're learning alot on here :-) I'm working on trying to learn as much as I can too and wish I had more funds so I could actually try out some of the stuff I'm learning about but in the mean time I'm just asking questions and learning what I can

Same here. I'm trying to absorb what I read. lol yea I do alot of posting and asking questions about builds and subs and amps and trying to collect intel on this stuff so I can know as much as possible about it for when I finally do get around to actually being able to do it too but man this dude is an animal I barely just recently hit 100 posts and I'm on here all day 2-3 days a week posting stuff asking how to do stuff and what to do and what to use and what would be best

sweet... new tech is always fun :-P

it will be at least after the new year before I will actually be able to have the kinda money to buy some of those, and I don't know how to recone or anything like that. But we will see what I can scrounge up over Christmas and hopefully we can talk then if you still got them.

I'm hoping to get my hands on a pair of DC Lvl 4 or XL 15" subs. I'm on the poor side but I'm workin on saving up for them so if anyone has some they wana get off their hands let me know how much and I'll see if I can scrounge together the scrap. If ya got anything else of equal caliber you could also hit me up about that preference is the DCs but I'll take anything thats got some good quality and can handle true 1800+ RMS. I was pushing some Lanzar MAXP154D for all of about 20 mins and fried them while I was still tryina tune the amp couldn't even get it tuned. had some great volume goin while it lasted even at like 50% amp strength but after just a few mins of adjusting the settings on the amp tryina get it right I looked back and my trunk was smoking like a chimney.

I kinda doubt I would be able to afford it right now but I was wondering bout prices for some Lvl 4 or XL 36115 for now will be goin back to 23509 in the near future
