Guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I guess I support the brands that STARTED this industry... I guess I'm a little passionate about this industry & where it's going.. Maybe I want to prevent NEWBS (16-25yr olds) from buying "sub-par" equipment & wasting their money. Maybe they have different options. AQ has a purpose, tons of watts for low $$$ & it's brand new...it's hard to beat but if you think outside the "forum" box, you have tons of great deals around. you just had proof from multiple people about how reliable their products are. just because a company helped start car audio, doesnt mean they are still one of the best with all the new competing brands.

Southnash Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I have owned the AQ1200 (3 actually) AQ2200 (2 of them) and AQ3500 (6 of them). Yes, I was impressed for the awesome power output at the price. INCREDIBLE amps which always performed and did more than rated. And I don't mean...a 100 or 200 watts more, but sometimes a 20% increase above rated at near 14.4 volts. The whole time you're comparing price, you were pulling used prices for old models on eBay. Not very "comparable". I'm a little disappointed nash. Find me brand new from the company amps truly comparable and then compare power output. I have loved every AQ amp I installed, and the AQ subs I used got down and hard. Don't judge the company from people who may not have built correctly. And why should a company pay for the mistake that is clearly the consumers? That's just idiotic I agree, brand new you cannot get "higher" end products for the same amount. 98% of the time, it's the consumers fault why amp blows up... So what's the point of a warranty? What's the point of new then? I see SOME ages around here & I see why these brand names are not clicking.... (not current hifonics, soundstream, etc) the real old school stuff...you buy 50watts & you get 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times I wish they would "bring them back" but then I remember that a "1000w" amp was......$1000! $1 per watt..but now you can get them for 25% of that price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Reed Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 OK lets compare old school even then. Usamp VLX-25. 25 watt cheater amp that at a .25 ohm would do 1400rms. I had 4 retail over $900ea. Try to find one at the price of a aq1200. If you can even find one it will not be even close to as cheap. Buying a nice old school amp for nostalgic reasons I see. No warrenty, big power hogs of the day have no place for me anymore then for memories of the "good old days". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those old class A/B amps SUCK some juice.. Not good for nowadays, but they do sound good... they still command over $600 today I was referencing Class D amps made within 10yrs.. MMATS, Earthquake, (JnL), DEI 2400d << etc... Not much has changed, right? just more power, larger chassis, etc...we both know warranty's are useless & most amps can be repaired for under $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMI CUSTOMS Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Son owns DD and father owns AQ, how do you think the son learned what it knows? And I wonder why the dd9500 basket is exactly the same as the aqhdc3? Hmmm.....
