Carroot1 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ok so im looking to get a new amp for my car. My current setup is AQ1200D with 2 SA 12s. 1 Big stock battery in the trunk (yes bmw puts batteries in the trunk) and a walmart batt under the hood. My voltage drops to mid 13s so im pretty good as it is. I'm not buying an alternator anytime soon I'll probably do the BIG 3 with zero gauge and thats about it. Im 16 without a job so I don't have any income. I have about $300 to spend on an amplifier. I've been looking into the AQ2200D, which is probably my best bet. I'm a n00b and i dont have an o scope so the built in one in there amps is great. I could possibly sell my amp for 200 bucks shipped. I'd rather not, until I have the new amp in hand. So my MAIN QUESTION is: what are some other amps you suggest? I don't wana cook these woofers and if it helps I'm getting a box design from PWK, which I still have no clue what the progress is on it since he doesn't respond. Most likey because hes busy but if he has time to make youtube vids he has time to respond to email. I think i've given all the info thats needed. If not, just ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Audiopipe or Hifonics probably.

Carroot1 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Audiopipe or Hifonics probably. not to fond of either of those actually. the audiopipe would make my sub run at 2 ohm instead of 1. Hifonics is ok but im just not diggin their amps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbabycsx Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I know you said you dont want to sell your amp before you get another but I would. If you sell it now and put it with the $300 you have you can buy alot more amp for the future. Just because you have a 3500 watt amp doesnt mean you have to use all 3500 watts.

Ford302Redneck Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Why upgrade? Those subs won't like the 2200d. Sure, they will take it, but will probably get smelly fast. A 1200d and 2 SA's is pretty much a good match already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan ahead yea, thats true i mean, i would like a 2k or something that my subs are capable of. I know that they are underrated but not sure on what amp to get.

Ford302Redneck Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 They can, but for not long periods of time. They are rated 600 for a reason. Also, there are other factors to being able to handle that much power. Box size is the main one. Honestly, I don't think you will gain much SPL, cause of power compression and such. Plus with 2000+rms, its possible you will have to upgrade your electrical. I'm not sure what all you have now, but if its stock, upgrades are probably in order. Just my opinion. I honestly don't think its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carroot1 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) well im not looking for spl just loudness i dont compete or anything. i would think in the right box and if i tuned the gains correctly these subs would be fine on a dc 2k or a aq2200d but im not a professional with all this stuff. I guess whenever i get my box designs ill build that and see where it goes, but i really wanta dc 2k maybe ill have to sell all my stuff and get new stuff taking this to the sundown forums Edited February 5, 2011 by Carroot1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
